Entering the world of SQL...Thoughts?

So I've had a "system" for a while (2 12" Rockford P3's 1000wRMS alpine amps and head unit)

And I've decided its time for some new components (Cobalt's faulty door speakers helped push my decision along too.

These are my options, any thoughts?

Alpine's SPX-17PRO
4ohm stable
has 100w RMS and 300 peak, (each side im assuming)
(Alpine Electronics of America, Inc.)
Found a set for $311

Rockford fosgate's T2652-S
100 RMS, 200 peak
4ohm stable
(Rockford Fosgate® - T2652-S)
Found a set for $190

Boston Acoustics Pro60SE and Pro50SE
Look about the same 125w RMS, but they look awful
(Boston Pro50SE)
(Boston Pro60SE)
50's are about $260
60'S are about $340

The RE XXX series is the only comparable one they offer.
150RMS
300 Peak
2 ohm stable
i dont know if i can bi-amp though
(RE AUDIO - Components/Fullranges)
$280

I was told to stay away from 2 ohm, but with subs the lower the better but apparently its not the same with companents...
Thanks

I took a database class and it was access and it was awful, good thing I do Cisco and don't have to deal with any databases!

SQ = sound quality

SQL = combination of both with a
small sacrifice in SQ and SPL.

I actually enjoyed my SQL database class. I preferred it so much over Java!

I was thinking about trying a set of XXX's but I'm gonna pass. Look into the Digital Designs components. Other companies that make nice stuff... Focal, Rainbow, SEAS, CDT.

any amp would work with 2 ohm. but yes its a good idea to not run them off the radio alone (u really shouldnt run any component set without an amp) but thats not to say it wouldnt work
