You did not mention the kind of deck you had. With an alpine deck you can control Alpine amps directly from the front seat. The alpines amps you mentioned are very fine, so are the speakers. There is something nice about a single brand install. Nothing wrong with mix and match either, particularly if you are on a budget (and who is not) and you are patient and find good deals.

maybe i will do you a favour and try to answer your question rather that recommend amps you havent mentioned. nobody knows about the pdx amps from alpine yet as they arent available so no comment. the alpine mrvf545 is a very good amplifier that i have used many times and has an obscene amount of power for your components, i have yet to see one that is less that 165 watts per channel. as for the mtx i have never used one but they make a great product and im sure would work very well for you

thanks a lot for your comments,
i am currently using an old alpine cd deck, model is 9815. which cannot the Alpine Amplifier Link. should i just go for MRV-F545, which is cheaper? i need the amp which can maximize the power of my speaker.

Being able to adjust amps from the deck does not ultimately improve SQ, but there are many factors that go into a decision to purchase something, specs, features, realiability etc.

If you can set the phase, gains and crossover slopes from the listening position, then better SQ will happen a lot sooner. Being able to hear the effect of the adjustment as it's happening can be a definate advantage.
Not neccessarily better if you spend a lot of time running around the car, but most people get it "close enough" and that's it.
One would think 'tho that an equally priced amp without the extra gadgets might have better overall SQ, but I've not heard the Alpines in question in a decent car.
