amp for IDmax... JL or RF or ARC

[theRipster]

trying to narrow down my choices here for a new amp... i was thinking about getting the minotaur, but there's too many other things i want, and that will just kill my budget.

so i need a monoblock to power my 12" IDmax sub in a sealed enclosure.

i will be wiring the sub @ 4ohms in order to get max efficiency from the amp and SQ from the sub

here are my choices right now (i like amps with small footprints so i can hide them)

JL

ARC Audio

RF

https://www.woofersetc.com/p-8961-t500-1bdcp-rockford-fosgate-500-watt-class-bd-constant-power-monoblock-amplifier.aspx

and what's up with this amp? why is it so much more expensive than the XDi line?

The arc is your best option. The reason for the higher priced arc is the better amp with better parts don't know if there are any arc vendors here on the forum here. You might find a better price on the amp thru one of us tho
