They aren't good anymore. Some, like the sub amp I just sold, used to be pretty good. The one I just sold is early 2000s, made in the USA, and pretty beefy. But I wouldn't generally buy a new Planet Audio amp, no. They got bought out, a quick Google search shows they are now equivalent to Boss Audio, which has always been terrible.

if you were chosing out of all the brands you listed rockford by far is the best one

Could I use the Planet Audio AC1500.1M to power a single Rockford P3D410 and not blow it? I know it may not put out the rated power, but if it does can a rockford sub handle extra power? Also, what is a good comparably priced sub that can handle more than its rated power or match with that amp?
