After 5years my hifonics Bxi1606D blew in a smokey haze. Finally! I have 1 15" L7. Whats a nice decent budget amp to push this thing. I was looking into...

US Amp - Car Audio wholesale distributor Alpine Pioneer HID Lights Clarion Hifonics Kenwood Boss - Ikesound.com - Us Amps XT-2000DEV2

Audioque - Audioque: Amps: AQ1200D

Sundown - SAE-1200Dv2 New [sAE-1200Dv2] - $275.00 : dB-r Electronics, Online Store

Is there anything else you guys reccomend here or should I steer away from any of the line ups I posted. Thnaks in advance.

what coil config?

I'd go with the aq or sundown. Just cause i've had experience with them. Whichever you can get cheapest would be a good choice

I'm sorry, 1 ohm.

The AQ or Sundown are both solid choices. I'd go with the AQ so in case you wanted to pick up a matching 4-channel amp, you can get the AQ4x90, but that's purely for aesthetic reasons.

Ha I had a Brutus 1606D that blew out too, I think it's something with the 1st gen ones not liking low voltage at all. The 1608D and 1610D seems to be more reliable.

It blew because it had an issue internally with the amp. I was having issues with a ground loop feedback issue with it last year and I lived with it. I didn't make it in time and I found the RCA's pinched in the seat causing the issue. I swapped out another (donor) class D amp and the gound loop noise went away. I think it just finally crapped out over the 5yr span. To be honest, I am really suprised it lasted for as long as it did.

I agree with this. Only problem is the AQ1200 is out of stock for 4 weeks right now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif.. If you need it now go for the Sundown or try to find a used aq. For the matching 4 channel part you could do the same thing with Sundown as they have the 50.4 and the 100.4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. But since you didn't even mention anything about a 4 channel that probably doesn't matter to you right now..
