I would pick the fosgate over the Kicker unless you were running a huge SPL system or something. Listen to both of them if you can then decide for sure.

It sounds like you want something loud. they are both decent amps. I would consider them very comparable, but i would go with kicker. I have own both and I personally had a better experience with my kicker. Nothing against rockford

Kicker amps are LARGER length wise then fosegate kickers I think require a specific chip for the frequency you want (at least the older models use to) and tend to have higher power outputs. I went with fosgate because of the mounting space and was tired of my MTX amps, MTX are good amps I had no problems with them, just wanted to test drive a different brand.

 The age old question- why only these two brands? There's a lot of excellent other stuff out there also.
