Would this power 2 Audioque HD3 15's?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

Since i have dual 2 ohm subs i need power at 2 or .5 ohm. Since it is a daily driver i feel more comfortable not dropping the load under manufacturers specs, so that leaves looking mainly for a 2 ohm load. I am on a pretty tight budget so i can only spend $900 at the most. Which i do not really want to spend that much. I was looking and it seems that i could get 2 of any of the following:

2 PA A3000db

2 Hifonics BXI2006

2 Soundstream PCA2000D

2 Hifonics Hercules, if i can find them

2 Planet Audio VX2200 or TT2250, if i can find them

I am going to strap whatever amps i get and run the subs series for a 2 ohm load. Out of those choices which will give me the most power for the money, which will push the subs, which will get the most out of the subs, and which amps are the most reliable and durable and have been proven to do what they claim?

And do not ask me about my electrical i have that covered just opinions on the amp choices i have posted.

Thanks

I need the amps to be 1 ohm stable this way when i strap them i get a 2 ohm load. That Kicker is only stable to 2 ohm according to Kicker and i do not want to try to run them below what they are supposed to be ran at, I want the amps to last me a while so i am not going to run them at a lower load than suggested by the manufacturer. But thanks for the input. I either need 2 amps that are 1 ohm stable and strappable or 1 amp that is 2 ohm stable and puts out 4-5kws.

the kickers will run 1ohm all day and not get hot //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif but if you want you could get 2 good ol 20.1 and with good clean power would kill strapped

a few months ago someone was selling a pair of 20.1's for that. you might be able to pick the 20's on here for sale if you hurry. 3600 @ 2 ohms strapped and they WILL go lower.

can anyone comment on the amp choices i have posted because those are the only amps i can afford and they will be bnib with warranty. So out of the choices i have listed above in the first post which amps will give me the most power and will be the most reliable?

I would choose the pa's or either hifonics amps. I have 2 PA 3000's running strapped at 1 ohm daily and they dont even get hot. I couldnt be happier with a purchase under $600.

don't forget i am going to strap the amps also, so i do not know if one of those amps puts out more strapped than the others, no experience with them just word of mouth.

I was really looking at the A3000DB or the Planet Audio amps. They are about the same price but the Planet Audio are refurbs, but don't they use the same board?

Does the A3000DB come with birthsheet because i have seen Planet Audio birthsheets showing that they do the power they claim. That is the main thing if i pay for 2000RMS i want to get at least 2000RMS. Out of my choices which would put out rated, or close to rated power?

the Concept CD-2410 is also an option. Come on people i know that you have had experience with the amps mentioned give me your opinions on them.

I had 2 pa 3000s on 2 15 HD3s myself.Works fine,But I have recently decided to do 1 HD3 on 2 pa's or 1 Atomic 5000.1.but anyway the Plant audio,Pa and the soundstream 2000s all use the same board and pretty much all put out the same power.But I paid 608 buck for 2 Pa 3000s shipped to my door.4-4.5k for 608 bucks sound like a great buy to me.
