I Amp'd my highs

I sold my fourwheeler so i decided to start doing some work on my christmas present. I installed a kenwood(I know, you don't have to even tell me) head unit and my Alpine type S coax's right after i got the truck. Last night while putting in my wiring, i hooked my Alpine 50x2rms at 4ohm amp up to the coax's. I liked the improvement, but i want more control. My question is:Should I buy an EQ to go along with it and stick with the alpines, or should I drop them all together and buy Components and go with the EQ. I like the sound of those brand new alpines and hate to just get rid of 'em, but i want more...So any ideas?

if you like your alpines, and just need to tweak them, go with the EQ.
I'd look at audiocontrol at the EQL.
it's a 1/2 octave 13 band EQ. I ran one in my Festiva for a few years before I got the alpine 3401. It's a great EQ and probably dirt cheap on eBay now.

Personally, i would go with Comps for the front. My boy had Alpine SPS-171A runnin off a MRP-F250. Sounded clean and was rather loud.
