JL Audio 1200/1 HD or Rockford Fosgate T1500?

So I just purchased 2 brand new JL audio 12W6 subs, and I am having a hard time deciding what amplifier to get. Im stuck deciding between the JL Audio 1200/1 HD or the Rockford T1500. The JL is really expensive but would it be worth it? Money is not a big issue but there is a decent price difference between the two.

Personally, I would go with the JL. There's a good amount more technology put into it to ensure you're always getting the 1200 watts vs the rockford.

the HD will be better suited if your running a air of w6's.
I have personally run a 1200/1 hd on 2 12" W6's and been very happy with the results.

You should be incredibly pleased from the overall output, small chasis, efficiency and of course sound quality from the HD amplifiers.

nice...i just ripped out my old jl setup little while ago to do a walled off custom job and upgrade front stage...old stuff:
13w7
1000/1v2
300/4v2
jl c2 comps + coax

and putting in:
kenwood ddx719
hd600/4
c5 front
c3 rear
hd1200/1 or (2) hd750/1 or sundown saz1200
4 8w7 or 2 sa-8v2 or 4 e8v3
im very indecisive so until all my custom panels/deadening/electrical in upgraded i wont decide on my sub stage....too many options..wish i had 2 cars and do two different setups lol
