Ok ive gotten down to 5, Its all close, what do you think for a mono amp that will output around 600@2ohms I think the JL is kinda high for the output im lookin for. And correct me if i am wrong but is that PG only drawing 40 amps???

JL Audio 500/1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 300 used

Alpine MRD-M501>>>>>>>>>>>>> 260 new

Phoenix Gold Octane-R R8.0:1>>>> 230 new

JBL GTO601.1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 200 new

Kicker KX600.1>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 240 new

JL would get my vote, Alpine would also get my vote. But those are only the amps I have personal experience with...I've never used any of the others. They're all good, though...pick whatever your budget dictates.

Edit: and I'd doubt that PG is only drawing 40 amps...my 500.2 (500x1) has 60 amps of onboard fusing.

well look on ebay, they have 2 yellow fuses, Which i assume are 2 20 ampers

Fuses can handle up to twice their rating before they blow. And during typical music at a normal "street bass" level, I bet current draw is right around 40-50A. My class a/b Eclipse 34230 (800w) pulled around 60A when close to full tilt with regular music.

well the Kicker puts out more than all the others listed- my 600.1 birthed @ 731rms

and its as reliable as it gets, runs super cool/quiet and I noticed no loss of speaker control @ 2ohms....very impressed w/ it

I see that you narrowed it down to those 5 but have you even considered a memphis 500d? They'll push out a minimum of 500 wrms @ 2ohms, are small, affordable, and sound great. I ran a phoenix gold outlaw (which is sitting in my room waiting to get repaired) and I still prefer my memphis products to it. Sorry if you didn't want to think of any other options, just my referral.
