Hi, I am sorry if this has been posted before, but I did a search and was not able to find any info.

I pose this question to those in the SQ know.

I am looking at getting an amp to run my Focal Polyglass 130CV slim model splits. THey have a rating of 50WRMS.

I have been looking at the Alpine MRV-T320 2 Channel amp and the Eclipse EA3422 2 channel amp. I have not been able to listen to the amps connected to the speakers that I have but I am trying to work out for SQ which one I should get.

The MRV-T320 is rated at 50WRMS/ch at 12v and the EA3422 is rated at 50WRMS/ch at 13.8v.

The amp will accompany a Alpine MRD-301 with SWS-1242D sub in box, which will be connected to an eclipse CD5444 head unit.

I dont really have a budget but would like some input as to the quality of the components

Cheers
Jc

Both of those two amps are very high quality and you will not be able to tell the difference in terms of sound quality btw them. However i personally would choose the Alpine amp because it will match your other amp that you already have. Also the alpine will produce more power at 13.8V (when car is on) but probably wont hear the difference tho.
The choice would be which one do you think it looks best and match your install the best as they are both good!
