hey everyone. i have a Polk MOMO sub (500 watts rms, single voice coil 4 ohm) in my 93 accord. i am trying to decide between the Kicker KX500.2 amp and the Rockford Fosgate 501s amp.

Kicker Specs:

RMS Power Output (Watts x Channels) 125 x 2
Frequency Response 20-20k Hz
THD at Rated RMS Power 0.085%
Signal to Noise Ratio 95 dB
Input Voltage 13.8v
Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) 250 x 2
Power at 2 Ohms (Watts x Channels) 250 x 2
Bridged Power (Watts x Channels) 500 x 1
Minimum Impedance Bridged 4
Minimum Impedance Unbridged 2

RF Specs:

Performance
RMS Power Output (Watts x Channels) 125 x 2
Frequency Response 20-20k Hz
THD at Rated RMS Power 0.05%
Signal to Noise Ratio 100 dB
Input Voltage 14.4v
Peak Power Output (Watts x Channels) N/A
Power at 2 Ohms (Watts x Channels) 250 x 2
Bridged Power (Watts x Channels) 500 x 1
Minimum Impedance Bridged 4
Minimum Impedance Unbridged 2

any oppinions between these amps would be greatly appreciated. where can i get these amps w. some type of warranty and a good price? ive had bad lucks w. blowing amps and want a warranty, thats important.

sorry for the long post but thanks,
Raj

 

if it were me, id go with the kicker. you can get it at cbrstereo for $269 right now, on special.

 

of those two, I'd get the kicker.

I've lost respect for RF over the years....

whats the price range you're looking at spending?

 

I would say Kicker.

 

I sell both of these amps and head to head the RF is the better amp. The measured efficency of the Rf is much higher than the Kicker. Also Kicker amps are much bigger for the same amount of power. I also have a MOMO sub and I have the RF BD 500. Rockford is not as good as it used to be but it they still are better than 90% of the amps out there.
