I can't ever seem to decide on my amp, but now its crunch time. Heres what i have as a list so far, i would like opinions on the amps you have tested if you don't mind. And if you know prices for the ones i don't have prices listed for that would help lots!.

PG Octane R30.0:1

Crossfire VR2000D $700

Hifonics XX-Colossus $600

Soundstream EGA 1000.2x ( I would need 2 of these)

Soundstream XXX-5000D

Basically what i need is an amp for the 2 Brahma's im getting, so im looking for 2000wrms or more at 2 ohm. And my GF needs an amp for her 3 X-10's , so something in the 2000-3000wrms at 2 ohm range.

Im open to sugestions still, but i cant really spend more than $700, e-bay prices are my friend.

Thanks

Im really leaning towards the Hifonics by the way because of the power to price ratio, but if it will hinder the performance of the subs then i may change my mind. Its 40" long tho, , so it would have to mount on the hatch of my suv haha.

The Hifonics or the Crossfire are the better amps from this list, IMO.

I definately know the crossfire is the best on that list. Any idea of sq difference between the hifonics and crossfire?

And does anyone know the current draw of these 2 amps? (fuse rating)

HiFonics Brutus amps can usually be found pretty cheap. Ikesound.com is running a deal on the Orion 2500D, its like $430 I think, check into that.
