You pick Memphis or Viper

You guys pick.

Memphis amp or Viper amp.

Viper claims to put out more power, the memphis is rated at 1100 but birth sheets that I have seen prove that it can put out 1200-1300 watts.

I kinda thought it would look cool to have matching memphis amps.

Just want to get more thoughts.

Viper http://www.drdetailshop.com/vd1200.1.htm

Dynamic Power Rating: 1500 watts

S/N: > 80 dB

Freq. Range: 20-250Hz

Damping Factor: > 50

Input Sens.: 150mV to 8V

Rated Power @ 4 ohm: 450 x 1

Rated Power @ 2 ohm: 800 x 1

Rated Power @ 1 ohm: 1200 x 1

Crossover: var. 18dB low-pass

Bass EQ: Yes 8 dB

RCA Output: Yes, mono

Protection: T,S,D,R,O,L

T=thermal, S=short circuit, D=DC offset, R=reverse polarity, O=over/under voltage, L=status LED

Nobody does class D like Directed, and the 2002 Viper amplifier lineup makes that clear. The tiny d300.1 delivers more bass power than conventional amps twice its size, the d600.1 and d1200.1 can be strapped together to double their individual power, and the d2500.1 has enough power to run most major appliances, coming in at a true 2.5KW. And if that’s not enough, you can double, triple, and quadruple that power by adding more d2500.1 using our built-in synced gain feature.

• Super-efficient Class D PWM designs run much cooler than conventional amps
  
  ​
  
  
  
• High speed MOSFET switching power supply
  
  ​
  
  
  
• High current complimentary MOSFET outputs stable into 1 ohm loads (models d2500.1 and d300.1 stable into 2 ohm)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Thermal, DC offset, over/under voltage, reverse polarity and short circuit protection with status LED (all models except d300.1)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Master/slave RCA jack functions support two amps bridged to one load (600d, 1100d), or multiple amps driving separate loads with synced gain (all models except d300.1)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Top-mounted controls easily accessed for system tuning (exc. model d300.1)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Continuously variable 24 dB/octave low-pass crossover (d300.1 12 dB/octave)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Variable 20-50 Hz, 24 dB/octave subsonic filter (exc. model d300.1)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Variable 0-12 dB bass EQ function
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Variable 0-180 degree phase adjustment (model d300.1 0/180, switchable)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Remote subwoofer level control optional on 250d)
  
  ​
  
  
  
• Gold-plated power and speaker terminals and plugs and RCA connectors ensure maximum signal transfer
  
  ​

I like the memphis based on small footprint and attractive looks, I think they are both well suited for the application.

 

[Meh! 10+ year member]

You can't go wrong with either. But if you've already got another Memphis this one is going to be setting by id get the Memphis. Either way youd be fine though.
