audiobahn A8000T or jbl600.1 for 12 inch type r's

Hey i am in need of ur help. I have came down to 2 amps to power my type r 12's. They will be ran at a 2 ohm load. The Audiobahn A8000T is rated at 800 watts rms and they jbl is rated at 600 watts rms, both at a 2 ohm load. I have read many reviews for these amps and all have been very good so right now its a toss up because they both run for about 200 on ebay. My subs are 300 rms each but i have seen people giving them ne where from 500 to 600 watts rms. Which one of these amps will make my subs hit harder and will be the most reliable?

I am kinda leaning towards the audiobahn becuase i dont know if 300 watts rms will be enough to really get the "thump" that i want but i dunno. Which would you choose?

i've bought the 8000T and it is very powerfull. Probably would definitely power both speakers as loud as the speakers could go.

I'm using it to power 2 Polk MoMo's rated at 500w rms, 1000w peak and it produces decent sound powering these. I know im not giving the subs enough power with the amp but im limited to space and $'s. Oh btw the 8000T fits very well under the seat of my 2001 Dodge Dakota.

the jbl will thump them quite well. my friend has 2 type r's in a sealed box with that amp and it pounds. i have that amp on my ti's and they pound.
