i need yalls opinion on these amps. what they are good at, bad at, do they produce the rated power, are they reliable, everything.

i am deciding on my sub at the moment but i know that it will be one dual 4ohm 12". one of these, im not sure yet:

Rockford Fosgate Power Stage 2

Adire Brahma

MTX Thunder 9500

Kicker L7 (i will get 2 of these since they are so cheap now)

brahma isn't dual 4 ohm. i say kicker to go with those subs if they are all dual 2 ohms.

no one like the hifonics? i can get it for $150 cheaper than the kicker and it gives me 300 more watts...

actually i will bet you the kicker will produce more power then the hifonics. i've seen birth sheets on kx1200.1's at over 1500 watts rms. hifonics on the other tend to struggle to make their rated power and really don't like running at 1 ohm.

I've heard of more problems with the Hifonics blowing and being over rated, than the Kicker, which I believe is a bit underrated as iceteebone said.

really. ok. well thanks for that info. so yall think its worth the extra $150 for the kicker over the hifonics then.

yup. i ran a brutus 1000D and it would get hotter then 2 mice having sex in a wool sock. plus i never got it tested but it didn't seem to be producing a 1000 watts. my subs enjoyed much better then the hifonics. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif
