The SLC's are an amazing set. I think they will beat the pants off anything in their price range.

Wait a second... the alpine only PUSHES out 60watts per channel.. and the nominal wattage for the SLCs is 100watts... Time to upgrade... or will that be ok for now?

But bridged into 4 ohm its 160watts... but arent they already 4ohm speakers? which bridging them together would equal a 2OHM Load?

Is the alpine a 2 or 4 channel amp? And yes, 60watts is just fine until you can upgrade.

You have 4 channels. Bridge 1+2 to one door, then bridge 3+4 to the opposite door. Those two channels, each stable at 4ohms, will be seeing 4ohms from the components. I am doing the same thing right now. If you are having some trouble with this, you might want to find someone that has experience in the area to either do it, or show you how.

Oh yeah, thats right 4 channel amp.. I misunderstood and was thinking like i was hooking up my 2 subs up to my 2 channel amp.. sorry! hehe

Did you run new wires? or do you think that the stock wires can hold 160watts?
