JL 500/1
ALPINE MRD-M500
Phoenix Gold Octane-r 5.0:1
Im guessing JL
but im getting tight on money lately so im considering something else. I know for sure in comparison the JL is better than Rockford Fosgate, how about the others? any help would be very nice
oh by the way this will be for a JL 12w6v2

If you want a cheaper amp that in my opinion is better than the JL 500/1 then get the Memphis 16-MCD500. That is the amp I have now along with a Memphis M3 DVC. If I am not mistaken the JL 500/1 runs about $410 or so. I got my Memphis 500 x1 amp for $300.

Thanks for the post guys, about 2 1/2 hours after i started this post i found a used JL 500/1 (ebay just listed) for $260 shipped!!! If i were to spend $340-360 i might have gone with the memphis after some extensive research.
