Default Hifonics or Autotek

Anyone have any experience with HiFonics or Autotek amps?? I know they're made by the same company, but
trying to get an idea of which is the better of the two.

I'm putting two Kicker Comp CVX 10's in my car and i'm trying to find an amp to push them nicely. I'm not planning
on being in any stereo comps or anything like that. I've just always been a car audio fan. The amp I have now is a
Kicker ZX 800.2. Im wondering if it will be enough to push these.

Thanks,
Heath

auto and high both use the same exact board and are produced in the same factory using the same componets so in other words same amp with diff badging. neither is better then the other ive seen a few highs used and are nice for the price but dont do there rated power but what do u expect from a 200$ amp.

keep the kicker since u already own it no reason to buy more inferior products.

Yeah. Pre-fab boxes. Used dual 4ohm subs with the amp bridged down to 2ohms.
I'm not really sure what the bass boost is set on the amp. I didnt mess with any of the
settings on it. My amp is mounted on an amp rack just under my rear deck speakers. So,
the last thing I wanna do is to drop that thing down and mess with it. I took the existing
wires (10ga) and connected 2 (12ga) wires to each and ran them to the terminals on the back of each box. I'll post a pic when I get home from work.
I have a Clarion pro audio in-dash dvd player (pop up). I have the bass setting on 3 and the non-fading output at 3
