which one!

I would get the T2500-bdcp, the actual power between 1 and 2 ohms is marginal.

$2000 retail vs $800 retail for roughly the same power.

Alpine would get my money in this one.

the flexibility of the rockford not shutting down on you @1ohm is very helpful vs the alpine only putting out 1000@1ohm.. (very few alpines have ever been 1ohm stable)
Alpine draws 175amps vs rockford drawing 300amps.. big difference for your electrical needs
23lbs rockford vs 15lbs alpine - (usual sign of build quality.. )

The alpine gets my vote for $$ value. roughly same power, footprint, dimensions, appearance ect.
