Need help deciding against MB Quart and Rockford Fosgate amps

[ButteryNipples]

Hi there! This is my first time posting here.. but judging from this forum.. this is one of many! Love it here!

I am hoping that someone can help me out here. Let me first explain my issue, I am looking to purchase an amp to power my subs. My subs are 2 10" RE Audio D4's in a sealed enclosure. I plan on wiring them down to 1 ohm. I want either Rockford, or MB Quart. Annnnnd.. that is where I am confused.

I KNOW that Rockford is better. With that said, how MUCH better than MB Quart? I also know that MB Quart isn't what it once was either.

At first I was dead set on Rockford.. and was set on the P1000-1BD or R1200-1D. Between those, I know the P1000 is better. But being I am only driving 2 10"'s - is it THAT much better than the R1200? Yea, I will be blasting some bass heavy songs - but I am also not going to be entering competitions anytime soon either. Thoughts?

Then I was toying with the idea of MB Quart. I am seeing different MB Quart Amps on Amazon.. and some don't have reviews, which is why I am here..

- MBQUART RA1000.1 Reference Series

(Weird thing about that is that Amazon doesn't say it's 1 ohm stable, but other sites say it is. Which is right?)

- MBQUART FX1.1000 Formula Mono Amplifier

- MBQUART RM1000.1 Reference Series Car Audio MYKRO

Between those three, which is better? Are they truly 1 ohm stable? Are there other MB Quart amps that I am missing? Like I said, I originally was going to get Rockford Amps, but I've had luck with MB Quart stuff in the past, and plus they are much cheaper too. MUCH cheaper.

Can someone give me some advice? I could really use some insight and direction here.

Thanks in advance!

and just to add to this.. I have read pretty favorable reviews on the Hifonics Brutus - worth considering over Rockford or MB Quart for the price?

Never had any problems out of any quart amp by maxxonics, I have had 3. Premium 1200, discus 1500, and now running a onyx 1500. They all do rated and 1 ohm stable

I appreciate both your responses.

I really think I am going to stick with MB Quart.

I think I will get the Onyx OA1000.1 for my subs wired down to 1 ohm, and the Onyx OA800.4 for front and rears.

There aren't many reviews on them being they are so new. Has anyone had experience with them? Based on the past Onyx series, they seem pretty favorable for the price.

Running the onyx 1500 right now. Good amp. I'm running it at 2 ohm so doing 1k to my sub. Good on my electrical with stock Nissan battery, 110 amp alt, and just the big 3 done
