I am designing my new system going for my Honda Civic and need to decide on which amps to use to power a pair of Orion 2NT 12" DVC 4 ohm per voice coil subs that are in a sealed box. I'm looking for a mix of SQ and SPL.

1) For these subs, which amp would produce more clean power at 14.4 volts the Zapco Studio 500 or PG ZPA 0.5. ?

I'm also looking to power some Focal KP2 6.5" components through an active crossover.

2) Which of these 2 amps would produce the cleanest signal at high volumes to run my components?

Note: I have access to 2 pairs of each amp to run these 2 way components.

I would say there evenly matched, from my experience. However I lean more toward Zapco for cleaner signal at higher output.

..and it is that highest output signal I am preparing for. Thanks! Can any others chime in?

I'd go with the Zapco....but I am biased.
