I was just wondering if anyone has the Audiobahn AWT12's? I am looking for some opinions on them because they seem to be nice speakers, but i want to know the real truth, not what the dealers tell you to sell you a couple. Also, what amp are you using? I was plannin on usin a Boss Overdrive 4000Watt amp at 1/2 ohm. They match up well, but any opinions on the subs or the amp will be greatly appreciated.

Yea, i figured Boss Amps were overrated by around 500 or so watts. I was tryin to go with one amp, but i will go with two. The RMS on one sub is 2000, and a 4000 peak, so i want to at least get 2000 going to each. Any suggestions on an amp or two amps that can get 2000 to each? No this isnt my first system, just didnt know much about Boss. I have had some JL 15's, Pioneer 10's, Punch 12's, and know a shitload of people with some Kicker Comp VR's. the JL's would probably rule all other speakers i listed.

yea, thanks for the info about the amps. I do like the DD's, but one of my friends has them already, and i was looking for something different. I can get the Audiobahns for 355 each anyway, which is actually cheaper, but the amps to power them will be quite expensive. You are right, i have looked into the JBL amps, but it was also questionable, since it is soo cheap. If its only 300, the factory is doing something right, because with all of the bad comments about the boss, it is 800. I will look into the JBL amps though. Any comments about that would be appreciated. I was planning on buying a 5-farad Audiobahn Capacitor and a new yellow top battery, just for the system (excluding car operations). Do you think i would need a higher amp alternator still after i get the cap, and the battery? The cap should store up enough power to keep the stock alternator. Just let me know what you think about the JBL amps, and the subs also if anyone has any comments about them.

Car Audio is a big thing around here, and all of the stuff most people mention, i know at least three people who have it. I dont know anybody with the AWT's, and they have them at my friends car audio store, and they SLAM in there!!. I want to have something different, but if you can name a great speaker for under 300, and i dont know anybody that has one, i will consider it. By the way, i looked around for the JBL amps, and i found them to be really good amps. I will probably buy a couple of them at the end of this week, and later on, ill buy a couple more. They have a 4.82/5.00 rating on Carreview.com, and that is really really good for some audio. There is usually always at least one negative comment about them, but i seen none. Thanks for the info on them though.

Well, please take in mind that this isnt my complete decision yet. I am just thinking of what would be good to have. I know what you mean by the JL's and the ID MAX's, because they are great. I wouldnt mind about 4 JL W6 15's! Anyway, thanks for the help. I think i am gonna just shop around and see what speakers i can get for under 600 for both. Ill think about those DD's. i would want the 9012's if i got some of them. I may consider the Power HX-2's too. They seem to be good speakers.

I know what you mean. Thats why i came here first to ask because i knew it had to be too good to be true that some Audio company is selling high-quality car audio stuff for that cheap. Im gonna go with 4 JBL 1200 Watt amps, and 2 DD 9012's, maybe even get the 9512's. I am lookin for some serious beat, so this should do it. One of my friends at school has two audiobahn amps powering 2 macdaddy 12's and hes hitting 157 dB, so i am gonna have to beat that. He wont have the best at school for long Thanks for all of your opinions, because i think you just saved me a big mistake. Any thought on my power hook up for the amps? I will probably have to go with a bigger alternator, because i am sure a 1998 accord Alternator isnt strong enough to power 4800 Watts of power. Ill buy a Optimus yellow top battery, some 2-gage wire to go from the amps to the distribution blocks, then 1/0 gage from there, with a BIG fuse, and a fuse on each of the 2 gage lines. Ill get all technical with that later, but do you think this will work? Ill probably need to go ahead and get a cap for each amp if i have to. Thanks for all your help.
