What are your thoughts on them? Which ones are better than others? I'm thinking about one for DBdrag street class.

Generally, class D amps are awsome for running multiple subs. From what I've seen, most of the class D's out are pretty capable though I've seen a good deal of MMATS going down lately. Orion is supposed to be coming out with a 2500w class D monoblock that retails for around a grand...

IF you're doing a SERIOUS SQ system, I may not use a Mmats or Earthquake. The Crossfires and Memphis D's have had NO complaints about their SQ.
I love them, super efficient, small...

I realize some people got burned by early editions from mmats, but trust me, you are missing out now.....By far the most powerful d class amp I have ever used/tested....and trust me, when I was on hiatus these past few months I did a lot of testing.......still by far the ballsiest amp I have ever used.....

Class D Amps are the best amps ever made.
I have a class d Memphis & love it.
This past weekend some cry baby Simeon or whatever his name is was trying to get our whole shockwave team kicked out for using them. Althogh his stupid ass was using one too. That guy is a complete moron and should not be competting.
MEMPHIS CLASS D amps are the best ever made and CHEAP $$$$$$!!!

MMats are great amps, IMO. THor, thumpin, stay away from this, i know i just used the M word. I dont think the SQ of mmats is any less than that of x-fire or memphis. Never heard an earthquake amp though.
