I need a new amp to power my infinity 4x6's and I'm on the edge between eclipse and xtant. The two amps I am looking at have very similar specs, so I was just looking for some opinions/experiences from you guys to help me pick which brand I should go with.
Thanks.

I've only got one xtant shop anywhere near me, and they don't have the amp I am looking at. (A2002)

Either is a good choice. They are both in the same playing field. So price should now play a factor, imo. However if you want an opinion that has no real basis on anything, I would choose the xtant, I just have more experience with them. -------------

I'll second the Xtant. I have almost 7 years of good (ab)use out of my geriatric 3300ic, and I wouldn't get rid of it for anything (and we sell nice stuff). Simply the neatest "little" 300w 3ch I have ever seen (snicker snicker....)

Do you guys know if the Xtant A2002 has an external fuse? I am looking at pics of the amp and don't see a fuse anywhere.

It doesn't look like it, my mtx doesn't have an external fuse either and that is a Mitek brand amp too. -------------

So if the amp gets too much power it is fried, or is there an internal fuse?

all you need to do is add an inline fuse.
