Choosing 1 of 4 amps... Want some help and opinions

[infamshxr]

So I'm looking to buy one of these and need some opinions on them. I'm looking to get the best for the cheapest. I know that the audiobahn is probably the best, but it is the most expensive. That's the only downside... My GF is looking to spend as less as possible while getting the best she can. The amp will be powering 1, maybe 2, 10" Soundstream America DVC sub in a sealed box. The system is in a minivan (lol). That's really all the info I have on the sub. I did compare it to my RF P2's and it sounds better than one of those. Almost as good as both of them together. If anyone knows of any other really good ones in this price range, feel free to post a link to it. Here's the final 4 that i found along with some specs on it. Also, the smaller the dimensions, the better...

Well imho, I would go for the powerbass. That could be just me though.

Thanks for the input. She currently has a small powerbass amp hooked up to one of the subs now. Sounds so so. Not powerful enough. I looked at this list someone gave me, called the infamous good,bad, ugly list. In there it rates brands of car audio and such. Found that planet audio is prob the best bet, but powerbass wasn't listed in it. So I think it will come down to those two now.

Agreed I would pick up a better quality used amp before i bought any of those. Spending an extra $50-$75 more would be more worthwhile imo than doing what your doing
