I know a kicker kx800.2 amp would be better than MA Audio M683i 800W 2-Ch Amp, but would it that big of a difference. Im gonna need to push (2) 12" kicker comp vr's. please help.

MA Audio actually makes some excellent amps. MA is the same as Audiobahn and I would rather have an Audiobahn amp then a Kicker any day.

Really, so which system would you rather have, 2 12 kicker comp vr's with a 800w MA audio amp, or the 2 comp vr's with an 800w audiobahn amp?

Why because they look cooler?

Besides the fact that they do look cooler, I have owned both Audiobahn and Kicker Amps and the I believe that Audiobahn makes a superior amp. If you compare specs most Audiobahn amps come out on top. I’m not an Audiobahn fan by any means, I had an all Audiobahn system and hated it the speakers and subs sucked but those amps put out some powerful clean sound and I have never had a problem or complaint. I’m not saying that kicker amps are bad I’m just saying that I would use an Audiobahn over a Kicker.

The audiobahn. I own one and can say that they do kick ass. But i also like kicker amps. They are nice too. That ends being on ur personal preference
