2 12s or a 15?

1 cheap "3000 max" power amp that might give you 1000 RMS, and is gonna be able to cook an egg at any given time and prob gonna pop itself in a year for $150? Or a 1200 RMS quality made amp for $250 that will not get hot and will most likely not break unless abused. Just saying

I don't disagree with that at all. Efficiency ( or the lack of which generally creates heat) is a whole different topic, as are durability, and sound quality (which with subs is arguably less important than front stage unless you are an audiophile with a discerning ear lol)
