Amp quality and recommendation

[03_Black_SE-R]

I just bought (3) JL 10w6's off E-bay for $210 Shipped (almost shat myself)...now i'm looking for another amp because my 500/1 isn't going to be enough for this setup...I am considering MA audio, but I am wondering how reliable they are? I want to stay below $350...I know the Nine.1 but I am just looking at all my options...I was also looking at the Hifonics amps but again I'm not very familiar with them...PG is a bit too $$$...I just want a good clean amp

The JL's can run at either 1 or 4 ohm load...is the SQ at 4 ohm any different than when running at 1 ohm??? Is my equipment going to last longer if I run at 4 ohm instead of 1 ohm???

These are the amps i was looking at:

HIFONICS BX1000D : 1000w @ 1 ohm

HIFONICS ZEUS ZX7500 :750w @ 4 ohm

DEI 1100d : 1100x1 @ 1ohm

MA Audio MA4082HX : 1 x 900W Rms @ 4 Ohm
1 x 2500W Rms @ 1 Ohm (future exp.)

Audiobahn A1300HCX : 1 x 1200 @ 1ohm

Audiobahn A12001DQ : 1 x 1200 @ 1ohm (class D)

or should I just stick with my JL 500/1 500w @ 1.5 - 4 ohm and run 2 10w6's

Are they original W6s or the V2s, theres a huge difference.

MA is a decent brand but not A-list like JL. Same with Hifonics and Audiobahn.

By the JL can only go to a 1.5 ohm load, no lower. the SQ is better at 4 ohms but the power is better at 2 ohms even though not advertised.

Check out the review of the 500/1 on www.carsound.com
It cranked out over 700 watts rms at 2 ohms.

they are only original version not v2's but for $210, they were well worth it

Then they are dual 6 ohm coils so you need an amp that is at its best at a 4 ohm total load.
