I don't think anyone has had experience with all 4. You're just going to get people telling you what they used and liked. Sorry man it's a good question I wish I could answer honestly.

of those i would guess the fosgate followed by the vfl. the other two, i've heard are current hogs, but any amp that large is going to need significant electrical support.

what does your charging system consist of?

MA amp should be avoided. The ONLY reason people use them is they do a ton of power at 18-20V in and count as "50W" amps in some orgs.

Can vouch that the RF amps are reliable. Really the way to get really efficient is to buy an amp that does say 8KW at 1 ohm and run it at 2 ohm. Most of these big boys are not terribly efficient when you drop them down to super low impecence.

i kinda figured the ma was bad n the rockford was my first choice but wanted to see if anyone had experience with cadence or the soundstream before i spend my money

you know how i feel

amp 3 & 4 are serious current hogs

any amp you choose you will need 2-3 batts

and 2-3 runs of 1/0

ya the reason being im gettin the amp for dirt cheap

i have used the zrs9000d its a beast, will def be the most powerful out of all of them, also will require a lot of juice

i know the memphis 4k isnt efficient by any means, but i've got a 34 series optima yellow top up front, with 3 134ah c&d batteries (100 lb monsters) in the back, double 1/0 big 3, triple 1/0 connecting front to rear, and at 1.2 ohms nominal i still get voltage drops if i'm pushing it.

get batts, son.
