I have two 12" Audiobahn ALUM12N subwoofers. I now know that Audiobahn's flashy looks do not reflect the performance. But I do not have the money to blow on JLs or MTXs so I need to make due with the subs I have. I currently have them wired at 6 ohms to a two channel 800 watt max amp which delivers 200 watts RMS x2. I want an amp that will max these subs out at their 1000 RMS. I need the cheapest amp that will do this because I am an unemployed teenager. I am not worried about SQ, I am looking purely for SPL. Here are the specs on my subs.

3" 6 ohm Dual Voice Coils
1000 Watts RMS
2000 Watts Max
Frequency Response: 18Hz-500Hz

Thats about all I know.

Any help would be great thanks.

if those r 6ohms dvc subs then it makes it very difficult 2 find u amp especially on cheap & i must tell u now it will not be cheap

Phoenix gold xenon 1200.1 - u need 2 of these

If u can't afford i'd suggests u sell em both & buy 2 other subs instead that will require a cheaper amp...

If I was to sell my subs, what sub and amp combination would you reccomend for the maximum SPL? Relativley cheap but acceptable quality.

Thanks for the help.

or a Viper 2500.1, it is rated for 2500w @2ohms...but 1.5ohm isnt all that far from 2ohm is reality. (w/ the reactive load of the subs, the amp will hardly ever see anywhere near 1.5ohm anyways.)

or a pair of sx www.reaudio.com or cheaper 2 SE

Do note that such powerfull subs will require u to also upgrade ur electrical system in order 2 supply needed current demand......

I'm looking for more of an SPL daily driver setup. I dont have the money for competition equipment. Im kind of fond of the Treo SSIs. Do you think they are a good value or not. And if not what kind of subs are a better choice.
