I am looking to purchase a new amp for my girlfriends Toyota Corolla. It will be used to power an SVC 4ohm MTX dual bandpass sub. I've narrowed my search down to 8 amplifiers. Of the eight amps which three would be the best choice, ranked 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. All of these amps are in the same price range with the Hifonics Zeus ZX4000 costing the most.

Hifonics Zeus ZX4000 amp 2ch 400 watt

MTX Thunder 311D 310 watt Subwoofer amp class D

Rockford Fosgate 351M amp 350 watt

Hifonics Brutus BX500D mono class D amp

Rockford Fosgate Punch series 500S 2 channel

Kenwood KAC-7201 800 watt 2 channel

Xtant A3001T amp

JL Audio e2150 2 channel amp

Xtant JL and Hifonics are my top picks from the selections.

I'm not sure what the model of the sub is. I bought them used. I looked at the magnets of one of subs and they don't seem very high powered. I would guess that they could handle 150 watt rms each. I had them hooked up to an amp that put out 125 watt x 2 and they sounded good. I will try to find the model. I am looking for somewhere in between spl an sq.

OK, I found the model of the sub inside the box by shining a flashlight through one of the vent tubes. It's a Q-Logic QB 210.2. I would assume that the subs are either 210 watts x 4 ohms or 105 watts x 4 ohms since I measured each speaker at 4 ohms each.

It looks like everyone so far like the Xtant. I too liked the Hifonics and the Xtant the best. I don't agree with the JL Audio because that model only puts out 45watt per channel at 4ohms. The Xtant on the other hand generates 300watt at 2ohms with one channel. I was also interested in the Autotek SS390.2, but I have heard so little about them???
