Joe-uk Unregistered guest | im thinking about buying a audiobahn alum12q 12" 2000W / 1000w RMS. i hardly know anything about this stuff, i know what rms and peek means and thats it lol. it says the sub is dual 6 ohm, and 3 or 12 ohm operation. what would be a good amp to get without me having to sell everything i own yet have the power im looking for. please help, thanks. |

Joe-uk Unregistered guest | i dont get it, if watts dosent determine the power or quality then how do u tell a good sub from a bad one??? |

Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 348 Registered: May-04 | Yeah a little better if you want some cheap Hifonics amp that will last you a month. Joe here is a link to good products. This was made by a MECP Gold Master installer. http://p079.ezboard.com/fcaraudiotalkfrm27.showMessage?topicID=48.topic Also you can read some old post here that will tell you why audiobahn isn't good. Anyway look at that list and look at the products and go from there. |

Joe-uk Unregistered guest | well i dont know what spl or sq means. but im looking for a new sub, i currently have a 1800w peek /225 rms 12" JBL sub and a JBL amp (not sure of the watts they dont make them anymore, grey with a small jbl light in the middle) i can use my old sub box and i right? im after a new sub and maybe a new amp. looking to spend no more than £200 on each |

Silver Member Username: JayjLouisiana USA Post Number: 349 Registered: May-04 | Joe Spl is Sound Pressure Level and Sq is Sound Quality. I'm in the US so I'm not really sure what your price range would be in US dollars. You should look at products you like and post them here and we will give you our opinions on them. Just an idea take a look at a Cerwin Vega V-max and a Xtant A3001 amp the push it. Cerwins are very nice subs I have 2 of them running on a Kicker KX600.1. If you do decide on that set up be sure to get the DVC 4ohm model. Good Luck |
