Default Kicker Amp Anyone????

Has anyone every installed and/or heard the Kicker 12PX100.2 Amp? I am leaning towards the RF 300PBRx2, and for about the same price, will probably go that way. I do like the size of this little one though, and wanted to get some thoughts and opinions. Here is a link from Crutchfield:

I have the PBR300x2 and it rocks. I paired it up with the mm651s from Polk Audio. I have the gain set at 5 and I'm going to have to turn it down more. My suggestion would be the PBR300x2... You can't go wrong and you'll get more RMS. Good luck

I have the same set up along with a PBR300x4 for my inner fairing and lowers, I don't know about the Kicker, but the Rockford has been getting a lot of good reviews and you can find the amp for $161 on e-bay, BTW I had a Hawgwired before, 1/2 the power 3x the $$$.

Thanks guys, will probably go with the RF/Polk set up based on reviews found here. I just saw the Kicker amp and couldn't find anything here on it - good or bad.

I just did this upgrade last weekend. Not real happy with the amp, but still going to try playing with it a bit before I make any real negative comments about it. I did the amp with the kicker speakers.

Seems like it can sound great for one song and then the very next one is distorted. Seems like CD's sound better than using Ipod and lots of playing with the bass/treble.
