Audiobahn, Kicker, or Profile?

Which would you go with?

Profile AP 400, Kicker KX 150, or Audiobahn A2002T? I'll be using it to push a single 8" RF sub, so they'll be putting out about 140-150 RMS.

Also for one more question, if I stepped up and bought the Audiobahn A4002T, couldn't I just turn the gain down so it doesn't push the sub too hard?

Thanks for all input. I just need some opinions or recommendations.

keep in mind the audiobahn dosent put out any where near its rated power.

i personally like profile because they are so **** cheap, and still put out their rated power. you get more bang for your buck with them...

Kicker, they will do rated power and they are very good amps

Audiobahn sucks

Profile as said above best bang for the buck

I would go with the Kicker for sure.

I'd you got the money go with the kicker, if not go for the profile I've had a couple and loved them.

Thanks guys. I'll probably go with Kicker, but the Profile's price is pretty inviting so I may sway that way. Just glad I didn't choose the Audiobahn.

So, if I get an amp rated at more than 150 RMS, I can turn the gain down so it won't push the amp so hard right?

If anyone is interested in getting Audiobahn Amps for cheap ($100 off cheap) along with subs and what not, http://www.millionbuy.com is having a closeout.

what Sub are you powering? most subs can take a bit above their RMS.

i would think that anything under 250 RMS would be fine, but dont quote me,thats just what i would do. and yes, keep those gains down no matter what. distortion could blow your sub, and sounds downright crappy.

Kicker if you have the money if not then get profile... no audiobahn

i dont know whats with all this hating, we all know how bad audioblings subs are but their amps aren't half bad and some are even underrated a bit. i would put it on par with all of the choices that you have up there.

It will be powering a Fosgate Punch Stage 1, 8". I had to go with something that would work well with a small sealed box and that fit my requirements, but eventually I'm going to go with two 10's or two 12's in the bed of the truck.
