Did you already purchase the Alpines ?? Alpine is a decent speaker, but they have a very low 'sensitivity',..............so to sound good, they need a lot of power.

If you haven't bought any speakers yet, the Infinity Kappa 60.11cs are a really nice speaker, and are only 2 ohm. They have a lower frequency, and better sensitivity, ( take less power to produce loud sound).

The Polk Audio MM651 are also a nice speaker. Only 2.7 ohm, lower frequency & much better sensitivity.

For a 2 channel amp, the
Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2
is a very good amp, and would work well with any of these speakers !!

Don't know if the 2 channel Picasso is out yet, but it should be an azz kicker as well !

Good luck !!

as GP pointed out you're always better matching your speakers to your amp. Are you going 2 speakers or 4 speakers?

UN,

From the pic, it looks like fairing only. No lowers, and no lid speakers. Did the 2 channel Nano come out yet ??

I was thinking of the p4.500 bridged at 4ohm. Says 250rms should be plenty. Does it work
