Thats not even a close comparison. The MTX will make the Kenwood look like a chump. The Thunder801D is a much better amp and will produce more legit power.

double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer

That 801D is a nice amp. That sub a DVC? If it is, that's a nice match to that amp.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

yeah its the DVC model of the 9500, i was leaning towards the 801d and from what i have heard form talking to the guys at mtx (who were cool enough to design a ported box for me specifically, they get an A for customer service) they said it should actaully put out almost 900 watts thanks Chad

Personally I would take the kenwood excelon, I just like them. There is nothing wrong with the mtx at all, and there customer service is great(I know a bunch of people that did customer service for them).

Tough choice, i would take the MTX just cause it is cheaper and produces the power you need. Unlike the regular kenwood line, the excelon line is a good cost/performance line. So you could justify the excelon IMO.
