This, except I fricken hate alpine's ui/menu structure, although I haven't played with the newer models. I've been a fan of eclipse as well just for the fact that they tend to have a higher preamp voltage even on the lower end models.

And 100% on the driving those speakers with an amp, they are great speakers but almost all of their stuff is designed for more power than a head unit can produce.
