Default JL J2 320 Vs. G4500

I was wondering If there is a big difference between these two amps...
They will be powering alpine type R components in the front and Type R coaxials in the sails....

Here's the Pros to both:

J2 320 Pros:
$100 Cheaper than the G4500
Matches the Finish of the J2 500 I will be Using to Power my sub

G4500 Pros:
A better JL line than the J series
80W RMS x 4 VS 60W RMS x 4 that the J2 offers

My questions is how much better Will my speakers sound with the G4500 over the J2 320? OR, should I go With a bigger amp all together? Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I like to match products. So i would make my amps match. But the j2 series is the same as last years tma amps. Ive only dealt with the tma stuff once and it wasnt too bad.

IMO, go with the J2 since you're not going to notice a difference going from 60rms to 80rms, unless of course the G has some feature you strongly prefer over the J2 .

thanks for the advice. I think im gonna go with the J2 since I prolly wont notice a difference. I think its gonna sound 1000 times better vs running the speakers directly off the head unit
