The MTX is a good amp. Reliable. And underrated so you will get a little more than the 500w at 2ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif there are several comparable amps around the same price range. My advice would be to listen to as many as possible. And trust your ears.

Thanks for your input I think i might go with the 6500d but i am still looking around.

The MTX is probably the higher quality amp as distortion is a little lower and S/N is quite a bit higher. While the Rockford is about 10% more efficient and puts out about 200 more watts.

For your application where the extra power isn't really called for, at $80 price difference I'd have to say the MTX would be the one to go with.

The MTX is $300 compared to $380 for the Rockford.

If you have the HE and not HE2, you may even consider going with an MTX 4250D at $200.

It puts out a little over 400W RMS into 2 ohms. While the HE 12s can only handle a little over 200W apiece.

Looks like a nice match to me. Although it can can never hurt to have too much power if used wisely. And you get additional expansion capabilities, say if you wanted to add 2 more subs or step up to more powerful ones.

Just a few things to consider.
