i have 2 12" 4 ohm alpine type R's, but i might upgrade them too. I was thinking of going with JL audio or Hifonics for the amp. I want something that is going to bang. If you have any better suggestions let me know. Thanks |

Get the JL over the Hifonics. But they are generally in different price categories. Im guessing you would be running the Hifonics down to 1 ohm? I would get a bigger Hifonics and run it at 4 ohms if you can get it still a lot cheaper than a JL.
Here are some other good options:
Hifonics ZX 6000 - two channel, 300wx2@2ohms
Kicker 04KX550.2 - two channel, 275x2@2ohms
Those are both AB amps, but its only 600w, so any alternator should run those really nicely.
If you want are in dire need of a mono amp:
Orion 600D 600@1ohm
Hifonics BX 1500D 500@4ohms *(for the same price as the Orion!)
Hifonics BX 500D 500@1ohm
JBL BP600.1 600@1ohm
I would go with the Hifonics 1500D at 4 ohms. It'll still be cheaper by quite a bit over then JL, unless you a)buy the Hifonics from a bricks&mortar or b)know someone who sells JL for cheap.
