Older Alpine HU with MPV-345

[Graft]

I am installing an older Alpine CDA-7977 HU into my car and am considering purchasing a new MPV-345 4-channel amp to mate with it. It is available at a closeout sale and seems like an attactive buy ($225). I am wondering if the amp is good enough to mate with my HU it or should I save my money and buy something else. It is my understanding the Alpine 7977 was the top-of-the-line HU at the time and I don't want to compromise the sound quality with a inferior amp. The specs look pretty good and I have seen some posts that suggest it is a good amp. I realize the most important part of the system are the speakers and I think I have that covered pretty well. I wanted a McIntosh amp but the budget just doesnt permit it right now. Looking to build an audiophile quality system and not going for the most dB's.

I will be driving Focal titanium tweets with 6.5 Focal woofers in all four channels.

Does any one have the MPV-345 they can comment on?
