they willboth do rated power and more but it's up to you. do you like RF? i happen to like hifonics over RF because od their stupid prices

Both will do rated power... but the rf power amp are highly underrated. So i would go with rf.

Do any of you know what "Exponential Vari-Power Supply" means on Hifonics or other amplifiers?

I LOVE the RF BD's...only RF amp I would buy. Un-fused...those things wang, with some clean power.

Never heard of this but my amp broke and none of the fuses went. As long as your inline fuse is a good choice size wise I'd think you'd be okay. Even though I'm saying this it worries me if they don't have fuses.

That doesn't help. Are you sarcastically saying it's a marketing gimick?

Nope......hes saying it because he has no idea what it is. But it sounds fancy, so he assumes it must be good.

usually bigger amps come with no fuse due to wat size fuse it would have to be,u externally fuse it,but the rockford is fused on the amp,both good amps
