Ok I want to buy some subs and amp, i want it to hit real good, so i came to the conclusion that i might get the audiobahn ALUM12Q, and the audiobahn A8000T amp, now what cables, ohms, and anything else do i need to make it sound properly. I dont understand the ohms and crap like that..

Also i really like the JL audio subs, but dont konw which one is good, and with what jl audio amp would i put it with the subs???

PLEASE HELP

I'mm not a big audiobahn fan. if you have a budget for amp and subs in mind I could suggest some alternatives to consider if you like

het 2-type r 12's dual 2ohm subs and run them parellel/parellel at 2ohms! should sound really good. here is the new model # SWR-1222D you wont be able to buy those on ebay for a little while but here are this years model # which you can get for really good deals on ebay. swr-1221D make sure you get that model # and not the dual 4ohm versions.

look at MTX
they have a mono amp rated for about 800 watts RMS x 1 @ 2 ohms
I forgot the model though. It's pretty affordable on-line if ya shop around or check eBay though.
