k i know they're not the same type of amp so let me explain.
this is to power a TC Sounds OEM 10" sub. Sub is rated at 800 RMS, but can probably take up to 1200 RMS. It is available in a single-4 ohm or a DVC good for 2-ohms. which one i get depends on the amp that i buy.
my options are either the MD.23 or the Nine.1
the MD.23 is rated at 1000 rms bridged @ 4ohms. It would be new, price is $250. no warranty, but has been tested it works. its essentially BNIB though.
the nine.1 only has about 2 months left on its 3 year warranty i believe. so essentially im counting that as no warranty. price is $230. its rated for 900x1@2ohms but at 12.5v. Its probably good for about a 1000rms @14.4v. So really not too audible of a change.
I'm leaning towards the US Amps cause of the higher quality and the fact that a 4 ohm load is easier on the amp than a 2 ohm load. Regardless, the eD is a proven powerhorse.
other stuff to consider....
the nine.1 is 5.5 inches shorter than the US Amps, and space is of a premium.
price difference doesn't matter. consider them the same price. im willing to pay the 250 just as much as im willing to pay the 230.
so overall what would you choose? if i may ask, why?
