Which of these amps would you get and why?

[jda 10+ year member]

Wanting 1500-2000RMS at 2 ohms.

I am considering:

Hifonics BXI2607D

Kicker 1500.1

Fosgate T20001BD

Memphis MCD-1500D

...or other

Please state why you might suggest what you suggest. The money difference in these isn't a big issue.

I have a pair of T2 fosgates, so I am leaning towards the T20001bd.

Either the Memphis or the Kicker, both solid amps.

Great quality.

And considering the OP is looking for 1,5kW+ @ 2 Ohms this is an appropriate recommendation how??

Yes, needs to be at 2 ohm.

Any other comments or suggestions?

kicker or memphis since i think they're the only two that'll do the power ur looking for

Thanks. Are you saying that the T20001bd or BXI2607D are not capable of putting out 1500 to 2000W RMS at 2 ohms and are overrated? I have always experienced that fosgate amps are underrated by at least 10%. Is the power series the exception to the rule?

x2 on the DD Z1. Much, much better than the other amps mentioned and since you said money wasn't an issue...

Not considering cost --

I'd say

RF

Memphis

Kicker

HF

HF last just because I don't think it has the initial quality of the other 3.

RF 1st because it's 1 ohm stable. At 2 ohms it shouldn't even break a sweat.

Memphis/Kicker basically tied quality-wise IMO, but I think those MCD's are just sweet looking amps.

The Rockford might do 1500+ wrms at 2 Ohms, depending on the birthsheet.

But, all things considered, I'd probably go with the Kicker ZX.

Z1, Gti6000

dont you think the z1 will put out a little more than he actually needs? i mean yeah you can set the gain but im pretty sure he doesnt want to spend a thousand dollars on a amp that he doesnt need all of its power or even a third of its power

Pretty sure that z1 and 6000gti are a bit out of my power range.

I have eliminated the hifonics. Seems like there is no chance of the t20001bd not being at 1500W since they are average of 40% underrated. There is a 1500.1 here locally on CL. If I cannot get that at 250-300, then I think that I might go with the fosgate since it can go 1 ohm and has more power to spare. It is about $100 more that the others, but I don't care.
