Default Best amp for $200 or under.

I'm going to run a true 2 ohm stable amp in my car powering 2 Kenwood KFC 3013ps each handling 400 watts rms. The idea is to get an amp in the 800-1000 watts range. I got a few I am looking at.




Pioneer GM-D9601 GM Digital Series Class D Mono Amplifier
Kenwood Kac-9105D 1800-Watt Class D Mono Amplifier
Hifonics BRX1600.1D Brutus Vehicle Mono Subwoofer Amplifier


Would I go wrong with either amp? Anyone suggest a better bang for buck amp?

If or not hung up on name brands, look in to sound ordinance. I've had great luck with them. Good prices. Solid service.

The Hifonics BRX1600.1D Brutus is getting fantastic reviews and should be able to feed plenty of power to my subs. A good clean 600 watts a piece rms.

I picked up the Hifonics BRX1600.1D. Come found out I had a dual 8 ohm Rockford P3 not 4 ohm. I'll snug the Rockford amp back in the truck. The Brutus should run plenty of power.

Let me know how it goes, I've been considering the big brother of that amp for my subs when I can get some cash together (just replaced my fuel pump, steering rack and tie rod ends).

A reputable dealer gives it very high ratings. The whole line of amps.

I have had bad experiences with pawn shops. I try to buy new. With prices much lower these days it's well worth it to get new.
