Upgrade Recommendations Needed

[dru 10+ year member]

Well I have the amps listed in my sig; planet audio 400.2 and a hifonics bx1205d powering their respetable drivers. I have plenty of cash and was wanting to upgrade both of these to higher quality amps.

I'm willing to let go around 600 total for two amps.

Arc audio? Zapco? US Amps? maybe. I duno. Someone school me.

yeah i'd say at 600 bucks you'll have to get used stuff by any of those companies. maybe look at older zap ref series stuff on ebay. say a 350.2 and a 750.2. they're long but good amps.

i mentioned the zapco reference dc amps, then i read again and saw the 600 and was like whoa, maybe not. you can find good deals on older ref stuff. i sold a 360.4 ref to astari1 for 265 shipped, and let go of a 500.1 for like 280 or something.

dealer cost on a DC 1000.4, 650.6, or 1100.1 is more than 600.

zapco is a great amp but new they will be over your budget for sure so will all the rest you mentioned, except maybe the xterminator line by us amps but i wouldnt say they are even in the same class as the others you mentioned.. a good amp but not a arc or zapco..
