AMP question: U.S. acoustics vs Alpine

[slackerinabox]

I ordered a U.S. acoustics USB-4065 and just found out today that the amp is out of stock at Crutchfield.. I can wait until July 17th or pick up the Alpine MRVF340 from circuit city - what should I do? Both are in my price range (the U.S. Acoustic is cheaper).. Help me pick!
THANKS!

Don't buy from either crutchfield or CC...try somewhere else, etronics.com for example

I was thinking about getting it from etronics - the site's amp section is really poorly organized and a pain to look through.. Also, they don't seem to have very good brands as far as amps go.. I'll check again though..

Check sounddomain.com, they pricematch other sites as well. But when buying car audio make sure you are buying from an authorized reseller if you want your warrenty to hold up.

SoundDomain's reseller rating isn't too hot.. I'm sure they're reputable but they seem to sit on packages for a bit.. My main question is though is about these two amp's quality.. Is one better than the other?

Thanks for the site- should prove useful.. But my question was : is the alpine better or worse than USAcoustic amps?

Check the crossover network to decide. In terms of power amplification, they should be roughly the same. The thing that would differentiate these (IMO) is the crossover feature set. I dunno which is better, check the manufacturers homepage to see on the crossovers.

Bump for more info... In general, does US Acoustics make a better amp than alpine?

Get the U.S. acoustics. Great amp for a great price.
