USX800D vs. BA 1600M1 vs GMD-500M

[junocdx 10+ year member]

I know I've been posting an aweful lot lately, but I'm just in a crazy rush to get all of this stuff figured out for my new system, and the only thing I have keeping me from being complete is choosing the amps. So sorry about all the posts.

I'm trying to decide between 3 amps. I'm going for the lowest cost, with the highest quality. I'm hooking up 4 12" Ks.

Pioneer GMD-500M

600x1 @ 2ohm -- $194.99 x 2

US Acoustics USX800D

600x1 @ 2ohm -- $237.99 x 2

BEtter Audio 1600M1

1000x1 @ 2 ohms -- $375

1500x1 @ 1ohm

If I get the Pioneer or USX amp, I'll get two of them and run 2 subs per amp. If I get the BA amp, I'd run all four DVC4s to the amp. Once again, I'm going for the lowest/best price at the highest quality. If anyone could tell me something about the Pioneer over the USX, that'd probably be the best thing. I'm liking the low price on the Pioneer. :-D

4 single 4s could be wired to 1 ohm........

that will do good on the better audio amp, will give each 400 watts a piece or so

So I guess everyone thinks I should go with the BEtter Audio? I just think it'd be a lot of hard work to wire all 4 subs to ONE amp. Oh well. So I should get the SVC 4ohms and wire them to a 1 ohm load? Sounds good. Thanks for all the replies guys. :-D Any other advice would be appreciated.

4 dual 2 ohm could be wired to 1 ohm, i think... it would be a pain in the ass tho.
