Does the Hifonics BEX line come close to rated?

I've seen dyno vids of the BRX, BRZ, and BE lines, but nothing on the BEX line. I'm in the market for a new amp, but the holidays and bills have the budget strapped, so I'm doing a lot of comparing to get the best that I can with what I have to spend ($250 max). Would like to be around 2-2.5k @1ohm. Sub is an RE HC18 D2, 2/0 cable, one deep cycle under the hood, and will be powered by 2 ad244 alts. Not 100% whether they are the 145a, or 160a alts, so I'll just assume 290a total to be safe.

Thanks. Not sure how I missed those. Saw the ph2500, but not the 4000. My list just narrowed down to 2 amp that weren't on the list.lol

I'll do some reading, and decide which one to get. I'll say that I'm initially leaning towards the Skar, only because a friend of mine runs a lot of their equipment for daily, and comp, and has never had issues, but I definitely won't overlook the American Bass.

Both amps look good, and I've seen only good reviews and tests for each of them. My friend is a Skar rep, and can get my equipment better cost than what can I find online, but unfortunately the rp2000.1 is unavailable at the warehouse. Still found a few places online that have them for $230 though. I was told that the AB's were power hungry, is that true, or is it only the older ones? I mean I know it takes power to make power, but any ideas as to which of these two need more current?

I could save more, but with kids, and a mortgage I can't justify spending more on audio like I would before. From everything I've heard and seen though, the Skar amps seem to be reliable, and they do more than rated.
