I installed an Alpine 9856 and I am trying to decide on an Alpine amp or kicker. Any thoughts would help.

 

Either one will serve you well installed properly. I would go with Alpine just to keep brands the same. There really should not be much difference between them with the same power.

 

I want to saty the same also. Not looking for loud, just want to drive my replacement speakers crisp and clean without distortion. Was lookinat the alpine 250 or the kicker 200. I heard the Alpines can pain with voltage issues.
