Battle of the Shitty Amps

[NJTStang11 10+ year member]

Ok, well I've run across a lack of funds lately and don't feel like downgrading the system. Im going to use one of these amps as a temp until a couple months down the line when I can sell it and buy something I actually want. Please avoid all "they both **** buy one of these replies". These are my only route and it is only temporary. Pick which one of the two you'd take if you had to.

#1

Crunch

GP1600.1

1600x1@1ohm (Claims)

1ohm Stable

Class A/B (wtf? class A/B monoblock?)

Used for $125 (Off boards here, link below is for new one on ebay)

Crunch is made by Hifonics, but low end of their shit

#2

Lanzar

Why is the crunch A/B? What's the difference (dont just say efficiency, as I dont quite understand what that means in relation to car audio). Does that just mean it uses less voltage to power it or what?
