Im not gonna lie dude, i haven't had any experience with either of thoise last 2 amps, but, from what i looked up and researched, they both seem to be a decent choice in that price range.

Think about it this way, why is a Mercedes more expensive than a Hyundai? you pay for quality.

After looking up some reviews, and asking around i would go with the Cadence over the Audiopipe, but again, that is just my preference.

Personally, id go with a Kicker or MB quart DSC series amp. But, thats just my choice..

oh wait i think i understand...dont go by peak power on my subs....how can i really find out how many watts peak they can handle?

If they are 150rms that's really all u should give those subs...

Only go by rms never ever care about peak power for now....

go to this link to study aout sub wiring JL Audio - Car Audio Systems

Also remember if u are using only 1 channel ur subs will split the power coming out from the amp IE: 500RMS AT 4 OHMS amp. U have 2 subs which are hooked up to it at 4 ohms each sub will split the 500 and take 250 each (granted the does its rated power)

well they are Kicker comps...12's will they do rated power?

What is phase shift...im reading the specs on the amp that i want to buy.....and what is damping factor. Also im only gonna use the amp for 600 Watts x 1 @ 4 ohms for my 2 8 ohm 12's....just until I get better subs (I want 4 ohm 12's)....it requires 2 guage power wire...do you think ill really need the 2 guage wire if there 8 ohm subs and im only gonna be using 600 watts?.......I'm looking at the Hifonics Brutus brz 1700.1d class d mono block!!
