well i have narrawed my amps down to 2 of them, the SAZ 1500D and the Kicker 06ZX2500.1, i have looked into a few others but i dont think they will deliver as much power as those 2 amps. but if im wrong please let me know.
these r the other amps
Rockford Fosgate Power T1500-1bd
Kicker SX1250.1
MTX Audio TE1501D
Memphis 16-MCD1500
JL Audio 1000/1

What are you powering and at what load... that will tell you what amps the best for your set up.

Wow, putting the JL slash in that group is weird for me. If you like JL and can afford it, don't even consider the other amps.

well i plan on purchasing the amp first then get the sub or subs to match up with the amp ,, and i just thought that the kicker 2500 and the saz1500D would put out more power than the rest becuz im not really lookin for SQ just the power.

You might want to figure out what sub(s) you want first so you know your ohm load. Then buy the amp that will put out the most power at that ohm load.

^That's the ticket right there... just buying an amp in the dark without knowing what you want it to power is just silly... I mean what happens if you buy the amp and it's 1 ohm stable and then you find an outstanding deal on a single sub that is Dual 4 ohm... then you're passing up the deal on the sub, cause you're not getting the full potential of the amp, so you wasted money on the amp... best bet is to always figure out everything together... including the box, cause if you don't have the room for the proper enclosure for the sub(s) then again it's a waste
