vaquero amp upgrade advice

I am going to add an amp to my 2014 vaquero and after reading many threads, I think I have it narrowed down to a couple choices

Alpine KTP-445U

https://www.crutchfield.ca/p_500KTP4...g&awug=9001058

Clarion XC1420

https://www.clarion.com/ca/en/produc...ual/index.html


both are around the $200 price point here in Canada....

thoughts?

I have a Clarion 1410 amp with Polk DB651 6-1/2" speakers and Shark 3-1/2" speakers where the glove boxes used to be. I assume the 1420 is a step up from mine. I'm very happy with my setup. It has great sound and can really blast out the tunes.

This is the one I'm planning on getting once I decide to upgrade the sound system.

A Not reccomended amp =Candy DS18

Stay away from this amp
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KX8JKSG...detail_4?psc=1

Wiring diagram is messed up, Half is correct on paper and half on the case is correct. And then the power Wires are reversed. Slow install with many phone calls.
But have had the amp on the bike for 2 years now no issues.
Only 1 adjustment- Gain front and gain back. that is all it offers ( Or is that 2 adjustments. )
