Which amp is better? I know the BP 1200.1 is older, but i can get it for like $50-75 less than the GTO1201.1 II

I'm am pretty much sold on the Orion H2, but...


With either of these amps, what would sound louder...
1 12" Orion H2 12.2 (Ported box)
1 Alpine Type X (Ported box)
2 12" Infinity kappa Perfects in a sealed box


My bet is the infinitys would have the best SQ, but worse SPL even though there are 2 of them. idk why i think that but i do. maybe becuz they are only 350 RMS each.

The alpine Type X would be the most well rounded SQ, SPL sub of the bunch.

The H2 would have the BEST SPL, but worst SQ... but i don't think the SQ is that bad...

Opinions???? thanks

the GTO is the better amplifier and if I recall, has a subsonic filter unlike the BP model.

the H2 is ok I guess but for the money, it's built weakly. I've heard of quite a few failures with those subs, and for $300-400 each you could get better subs for sure.

the type X would be the best choice, but sealed not ported. it's got too low of a Qts for ported enclosures. best SQ and decent SPL.
The Infinity subs aren't that great.. very low SPL output.. SQ is average.

Will the SPL with the type x and the GTO be better than my Current set-up? 2 12" power acoustik FUBR's sealed and a 880 RMS Power acoustik amp...?
