Advice on starter amp

[heater4lyfe]

I'm new to the audio game so I need some help. Recently, I've been reading ALOT on these forums about certain starter amps. I am looking for a MONO amp in the $150 range and I've narrowed it down to FOUR.

HIFONICS TXI7506 (I know that the Hifonics is over-rated)

RF P3001 (Underrated)

ALPINE MRP-M450 (Alpine is beloved here)

KENWOOD KAC-8152 (Do not know much about)

I'm planning to hook up 1-12'' kicker L5 to this baby:naughty:

Thanx guys. I purchased the HIFONICS TXI7506. I only had those four choices because I planned on combining shipping with an ebay seller.

already have the L5?

Not yet, im looking into some Alpine type R SWR-1222D as well. I'm planning just to run one sub at 2ohms.

Look into the Phoenix Gold 400.1 Xenon line.

Roughly 420 RMS at 2 ohms (410-ish at 4) and can be wired into 1 ohm load. It is extremely versatile and are highly reliable. They also overbuilt the terminals and the internals from what I've read.

About 150$ from online stores, and around 150$ E-bayed from reliable stores on there.
