I think that fosgate still makes good products but here in the last couple of weeks I have been hearing some not very good things about them. Is it a old school amp or is it fairly new? Now I personally have not used any of fosgates amps but my partner (in business) used to use them back in the late 80's and early 90's and he says they were the only brand that could even come close to hanging with any of hifonis's stuff so I would say that if it is a class d amp or an old school amp then go for it but if it is new and mosfet then dont waste your time. That is my opinion

Kenwood's amps are really alot better pushing mids and highs they arent really all that great for subs. What kind of budget are you on for an amp? If it's not to low then I would say to go with a hifonics amp. They are awesome and way underated! Another good amp to look at would be jbl, they are making a great amp nowadayz also.
