Default Amp for JL subs HELP

JL amps are great.

500/1 (500 x 1 @ 1.8-4 ohms)
100/1 (1,000 x 1 @ 1.8-4 ohms)

I am looking at setting up a new system (last system just got stolen). I

am
using Infinity Kappa tweeters, Kicker mids and midbasses, Rockford Fosgate
400a4 and 800a2 amps with 3 JL Audio 10W6s and a Lightning Audio 1 Farad

Cap.
They left my speakers and stole my subs and amps, so I have to start over.

Here is the question I am going to run 2 JL 12W6v2s so they can be wired

at
either 1 or 4 ohms. So I am looking at purchasing an amp to push these.

So
far it seems the options are A/B class amp that is around 200-250 x2 or a

D
class amp that is around 1000x1.
Brands I am considering include Kicker, Phoenix Gold Tantrum and Octane,
Soundstream and Hifonics.
To be more specific:
Kicker KX800.2 200x2 or 800x1 (4 ohms)
Kicker KX1200.1 1200x1 (1 ohms)
Phoenix Gold T1200.1 1200x1 (1 ohms)
Phoenix Gold R15.0:1 1000x1 (4 ohms)
Soundstream Tarantula TR880/2 220x2 or 880x1 (4 ohms)
Soundstream RUB1000-2 200x2 or 1000x1 (4 ohms)

The amp for my mids and highs I am plannin on runnin between 50x4 and 80x4

(4
ohms) and am considering Phoenix Gold, Precision Power, Kicker, and
Soundstream.

Any opinions or experience with any of these or anything related would be
greatly appreciated. I havent kept up with all the stereo stuff in a few
years, so not sure if all of the same old brands are still good or if any

new
ones are better.
