Which amp! rockford vs alphasonic

rockford fosgate x7 1500watts rms at 2 ohms
OR
Alphasonik PMA800HCA 2900rms at 1 ohm

i just wanna know what amp you think is a better buy for power,reliability,performance etc. i always thought alphasonic was low end **** but it says 2900rms.
what would you choose if sub wiring wasnt an issue?

ok rockford is stupidly expensive for what you get, go for the alpha or grab the same RMS model audiobahn

Go for the rockford, will have a better damping factor, much more solid bass. If youre looking for an amp for higher frequencies, I wouldnt choose either for that. My .02

i would say around 700 bucks at least. if you ebay it about 600 to 700. thats only because JL only advertises RMS watts. so if you get that 1000/1 then its 1000 RMS watts not max like everyone else advertises. it will blow whatever sub you have. you better hook up like 4 subs to that thing

i like both the jl and rockford..i like how the jl hooks up. and how it can take anyload and give it 1000watts. thats cool... i own the rockford x6 right now and its really powerful for 1100watts rms. never even gets warm.
