JL CleanSweep + Alpine 5 channel amp vs. JL 4 channel amp

I am just looking for some feedback from those who have the CleanSweep from JL and really like it. I have a Bose HU (sedan) and I am looking to make some minor upgrades to the sound in the car.

I already have an Alpine 5 channel amp that I have from my previous vehicle. It sounds fairly decent, although I've never used the fifth channel. I am wondering if that fifth channel (I think it's 100 RMS) would be ideal for powering the lame-o mini sub on the rear shelf? Would this be a good fit to pair with the JL Cleansweep to install in my car?

Or, would it be more viable to forego the CleanSweep and just purchase a new JL amp that accepts differential-balanced inputs?

Which will (subjectively) sound better? Any opinions? Thanks!

IB subs can certainly work, but the coupe rear deck isn't the most ideal location. 100w certainly isn't a lot of power. What model amp is it? Lot of people run the cleansweep with success, as long as you're okay with having a volume **** placed up front. Also look into the RF 3.sixty2 or maybe Audison Bit 1

I have never used the Clean sweep. However you may want to consider getting a nice 10" sub installed in your trunk and not use the junk bose currently installed in the rear deck. Any aftermarket 10" powered with 100 watts RMS will absolutely blow away what you currently have.

I do not have room for a sub box in my trunk, so I'm probably going to rule that out. The model amp I have is an older one.

I guess I'm still looking for which one of the two would be a better solution.

I have a cleansweep but I won't actually have it installed for a couple weeks. Feel free to send me a PM sometime around March 23rd and I'll give you a full report.

I have a brand new cleansweep I've had for a while but opted to go with a deck.
I'm willing to let it go for a reasonable price. shoot me a pm.
