Default Opinions needed!! Which amp would you pick?

Experiences good/bad, opinions, and or which one you'd pick out of the following:


JL Audio 300/2
Kicker KX400.2
RF Punch 500S
HiFonics Apollo Son of Boltar
Phoenix Gold Tantrum T500.2

If you don't like any and have something else to add please do :)

Thanks in advance :cheers:

If it was a PG Titanium amp instead of PG Tantrum, I would pick PG first as well. I still would take the JL 300/2 over the Tantrum amp

Yea... I really liked the Titanium, but even on ebay it's over my price range :(
