Eclipse decks are better than Alpine, but they're also a lot more money, so Alpine is better bang for the buck.

and I have heard that eclipse units have less than excellent durability, compared with alpine.

the biggest difference is more voltage for the pre-outs. but the higher end alpines do 4 volts. if you want more, visit audio control's site...

Alpine HU's are better than Eclipse in every area. Durability, SQ, and price, you can never go wrong with a good Alpine. :yesnod: :thumbs:

The balanced high-output pre amp voltage is nice on the Eclipse, but there past durability scares me. I would lean towards the Alpine too.
