alpine power and clairty for half the price of jl

i had a jl 300/4 pushing a set of focal 690cvx and focal component 6.5 v1's. and a 500/1 pushing one directed 10 dvc. it sounded good but for the rep. that JL has for being the best i did not see why. i talked to a guy at a local stereo shop and he said JL was over priced, he told me that he used to sell JL and the return rate was substantually high. he suggested i try alpine. so i sold my 500/1 (retails for $600) sold on e-bay for $200, took that money and bought a Alpine MPR-1000, the amp does not only have twice the wattage( which is measured in true RMS wattage like JL) but the clairty of this amp blew me away, it sounded a lot better than jl. not a whole lot louder but a lot cleaner, even with all the settings JL has on their amps. I was so impressed i went out and replaced my JL 300/4 with alpine's top of the line PDX series amp. i bought the PDX-4.100. i put it in yesterday and my focal speakers came alive much more than with the so-called top of the line JL. i have always been impressed with alpine from the first time i bought a v-power amp 10 years ago to the first time i heard my buddy's 6x9 speakers in his first car back in high school. you tend to compare stereo equiptment based somewhat on price and coming from someone who has heard it all. alpine is one of the cheapest and definently the best sounding all around (subs,amps,speakers,decks). and their product has always been quality. I'm sold
