Contemplating amps

As per other thread, My amp died.

Current sub: 1x Kicker CVR 10'', 400W RMS, DVC 4ohm (effective 2ohm) Sealed enclosure.

I'm looking around on Ebay, and I see a Hifonics BXI1206D rated at 900W RMS @ 2ohms. I've also been eye-balling the Kicker 400.1 amp. But for $20 more I can get this Hifonics one.

The question is, Will either put out their rated power? I'm thinking about this hifonics amp, but I know nothing about the company (ie. is it a good brand? Really, I know nothing about kicker either)
Even if the hifonics amp doesn't putout 900W, It should still be greater then 400w.

Another main concern is what happened to my last amp. Randomly dying. I'm hopping with either amp, it will last longer then 2months.
Anyone have experience with these amps/brands and can comment on quality?

Main goal: Most for my money. Which is no more then $250 (I hope)

Thanks for the help.

You'd get way more for $$ buying used is my bet...
