i thought i had my amp choice figured out but now i need help again. i cant decide between the earthquake phd5000, or the new power acoustik SL5500. the PA is rated at 4200rms at 1 ohm. i keep reading about peoples earthquakes catching on fire. are they 1ohm stable daily? which is the better choice for a true 4000-5000 daily? thanks

well i dont have quite enough money for those. i would love to have the rockford, but im working with what i got. im looking to spend about 500-600 and the new PA looked decent. i know they're about mid-line but what about the earthquake? i searched and people say they do rated power.
