I currently own 2 15 inch strokers and need a top quality amp to push them. What amp do you think is better to use xtant or precison power? and why?

Personally I wouldn't use either. Try a RF or a big class D.

And that's the bottom line, cuz:

"a big class D" ?? I guess the Xtant 1001dx (a 'big class D' IMNSHO) ins't considered big anymore, since it *only* does just shy of 1200W. Sheeeeesh!
Plus, anyone in it for more than just SPL would recognize that the Xtant is a much more flexible amp that is more rich in features and would most likely outlast a MMATS due to its top-notch build quality. I've run my 1001dx at 0.75 ohm mono for over a year now and it barely reaches temperatures over the in-car air temps after long periods of play. I've never run MMATS, but I think that's a pretty good advertisement for the Xtant, when it's only rated down to 1 ohm. Plus the Xtant is more practical for people who don't have monster electrical systems to keep battery voltage at 14.4V all the time, since it has a regulated power supply. Just a few thoughts...not that the MMATS amps aren't totally awesome, just gotta give some respect to Xtant here!

Precision Power or Xtant. I like, and have used both. Dont waste either ones power on subs. They are both too clean to toss in an spl vehicle. It does sound like your looking for balls to the wall power, get you a crossfire class d and be done with it. If your doing a sq vehicle, then use the biggest xtant you can. If your not competing with it, I'd use a PPI piece.
