Am in the market to purchase a amp to power 2 12s (600 watts rms each) which will be in a sealed enclosure. Any suggestions on the amps listed above? The IA10.1 is on sale right now for $289.00 shipped and the CT-Sounds is $309.00 shipped. The CT is pretty sweet with the volt meter in the remote and is rated at 1400 watts at 12.8 volts whereas the Incriminator is rated at 1200 watts at 14.4 volts. But knowing the IA amps, it will be underrated. I like that the IA is black instead of white like the ct for a more stealthy look. Also, I will only be running one XS power D2700 Battery under the hood due to space limitations so am looking for the most efficient amp of the two.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I would personally go with the 10.1 just due to its competitive pricing. They're relatively efficient, have a nice form factor, and don't try to push forward with gimmicks. Worry less about whether the amp is "overrated" or not when you're talking about a difference of 200 Watts (not even an audible difference). Focus on the architectures and components used. I would venture to say once you crack open the hood of each amp, you'll see a dramatic difference in component selection leaning in favor of the Incriminator.

 
Thank you all for your input guys. I was also leaning toward the IA. I have spoken to Nick before and he is a straight forward guy that will stand behind his products. I think the decision is made.

Thanks again.

 
Not to mention the 10.1s and 20.1s are proven .25 ohm stable daily, where the ct sounds amps, which are still good amps, are not as proven

IA makes low voltage monsters that are essentially bulletproof. Can't really go wrong

 
Went with the IA.10.1. Its looks like a nice lil amp. I wouldn't be able to test it until next month since am still in classes and am still deciding on whether am gonna go with the new Lethal Injections or not. Here is a few pics.

 
I know right :)

Now am trying to decide whether i should wait on the Obsidian v3, grab a pair of the IA LI while their on sale or try out a pair of those ampere audio aa 12s.

Any suggestions?
