To skip the details just read the last line of the post... for an interesting story read the whole thing

Alright I really know VERY little about car audio systems. VERY LITTLE. I know enough to when I see big numbers and a lot of chrome I immideatly assume its a good product (lol). Thats why I bought a pair of Audiobahn AWP312T subs. I probably should have researched them a little before because I now know that I could have a better sub for a lot less cash. Oh well... live and learn I guess. I plan on keeping the subs.

Now, to make a long story even more painful I have no idea on what I should do about an amplifier and the rest of my system. At the moment I want to just hook up my Subs and get myself a custom box built. Before I get the box built though I would like to find out what amplifier I should get. I would also like to know how to wire it because even after reading a lot of info about it I am still lost.

Quesiton: What amp works with the Audiobahn AWP312T subwoofer? Here is a link to Audiobahn's website for the specs. http://audiobahninc.com/frame2004.html
How Should the subs be wired in order to produce the best SQ and SPL?

I would recomend two JBL bp1200.1's and run them both at 1ohm. You are also going to need a new alternator as well with that amount of power.
