I've used JVC amps for years with good success and great sound. However, I've always used the automotive units mounted in a cabin - over 15 years on two units with no problems when I sold the boat. Went back with JVC on the new boat.

I have Alpine PDX amps and the Alpine Marine 10" subs.
Get the automotive version PDX amps off ebay. They cost much less than the Marine ones and are basically the same.
I wouldn't hesitate to get the JL digital amps either, but they cost more tha PDX's.

JL and Alpine have always made good stuff, can't go wrong but you do pay a bit of a premium for them. I had Clarion last couple boats and had good luck, have Sony stuff now and like it, they are solid if nothing else.
If I was building from scratch today, prob. go with JL for speakers, Alpine or JL for amps (and Clarion or Alpine for the head unit if you want and / or need a new "marine" head unit).
