fosgate t500-1bd or orion 8002 amp?

[budgetkiller 10+ year member]

Okay, I can't get either of these amps. The difference in price is significant, but not horrible. The fosgate is cheaper from the source I found. The Orion is more powerful, but honestly either of these amps are plenty to run my sa12 in my little hatchback. I am not looking for spl. I'm simply wondering which will sound better for sq. How much better and why? I'm leaning towards the fosgate for 150 but the Orion for 185 (might be able to talk him down) might be better for me. Just want your opinions. (Btw I may end up trading the amp I purchase later on for something better sq later on). Thanks guys! P.s. I can't remember if the Orion is the 8002 or 8004. Thanks!

Get the RF, its made with better parts and will be more reliable in the long run.

I was leaning towards the RF. Do you think 150 is a good price? Honest opinion because I'm not really biased here

As long as ill be able to get my money back in a year that's fine.

Btw I know this amp isn't a zapco, or even a JL for that matter, but how good or bad is this model for sq in your opinion? What about 1 ohm vs 4 (I have dual 2s) and thank you so much!
