looking for a amp to power 2 12" audiobahn 1000 watt subs.....so according to the subs im looking for around 1000 wrms .....audiobahn rating (do they over rate, underrate, or pretty well on the money? )

i been looking through a few on ebay and id like your opinion of them and there name in general. (And just because im posting ebay links does not mean i will be buying off ebay!)

Do you have these subs already or are they in the crosshairs as a prospective purchase? They are drastically overrated for their power handling as well (and responsible for the global shortage of chrome).

If you have not purchased them yet, please pm some of the vendors on here before you do buy.

Then buy the better quality amp now.....if you are planning that far ahead, get the amp that matches the quality of the next round of subs. Any amp will power the ones you have now.......

If nothing else it saves you buying another one next year.
