I'm personally not a fan of audiobahn subs... they will be loud if you put a lot of power to them, but they sound like ass.

my friend has the lower model 10 inch subs that he got from his cousin and he has them in a buick and they sound alright....nothing mind blowing but it does give the music and nice thump....i think he has like a earthquake amp that is rated at 2.400 so 800 watts tops.

you can make anything sound decent, i have 2 Wal-mart subs that I got for free that hit decent with a 200W MTX... but personally, I would splurge a tad and get some Alpines, I have never been so impressed with quality, response and sound before, yes you need some cash to back it, but it is well worth it

get a sub that operates at 2-Ohm and and has a normal of 300W or around that region, the reason being that you wont need a sub that can hit 1800Watts and by spending the money to get an amp that can keep up with it, is pointless cause you are not going to compete in any audio/sound event (or whatever they call that thing as).

i have a JL 10W3v2-D6 which hits 300W RMS normal and i have a 500W RMS Amp. even at a low setting, its pretty lound when i had the bandpass with two of those subs. and with a single of the same sub now, i dont hit that hard cuz the amp sees a 3Ohm at the sub as opposed to 1.5Ohm as before.

I got a chance to listen to one of those triangle shaped subs. In that enclosure they had for it, that thing hit like a sledgehammer and was loud as hell. If I were going for a subwoofer to throw a little over 1,000 watts at, it'd be that one sub.

For now I find a pair of 8's driven with a bit of power in a bandpass to give me the best mix of bass and trunk space. I still have loads of room with the box in there plus the rear bar. No it doesn't wake the dead, but the sound is decent.
