Default Need some advise on choosing an amp

I have a 12" phoenix gold TITANIUM ELITE dual 4 ohm subwoofer, 1200/2000W (RMS/PEAK). Any suggestion on a decent amp that can push this sub?

Phoenix GoldOCTANE-R 15.0:1 1500w MONO CAR AMP AMPLIFIER - ebay price $290
----------------------------
• High efficiency Class "D" monoblock amplifier
• 18dB variable LP crossover
• 18dB variable subsonic filter
• Low Pass Level port (LPL)
• Dimensions: 14.5L x 10.875W x 2.25H

1500W x 1 (2 ohm mono)
max power

Phoenix Gold XENON 1200.1 X1200.1 CLASS D Amp - ebay price $435
----------------------------
• High efficiency (greater than 80%) Class D Operation
• Buffered RCA full range thru output
• Remote Monitoring Display (RMD) port
• Low Pass Level control ready (LPL-44)

1200W x 1 (4-1 ohm)


JBL GTO1201.1 1200 WATT MONOBLOCK AMPLIFIER - ebay price $289
~ Efficient High-frequency switching Class D power supply
~ 12dB per octave electronic crossover
~ RCA low-level inputs
~ Full-range preamp outputs

JBL BP1200.1 was reviewed/benched to make about $1280w @ 2ohms. I've owned it 3x I personally hate having a final load of 2ohms; it's such a pain to get max power from amps. Prefer D2's for either the 1ohm class D load, or 4ohm for bridged AB operation.

I don't know anything about the sub or the GTO amp you pasted, but going off the RMS of the sub .. the BP1200.1 makes the power it wants.

I don't think the Xenon 600.1 (600w?) would be enough .. but can't be sure b/c like I said, I dunno anything about your sub.
