i got 2 12's. its not the best sub but it gets the job done..... mine is rated at 400 rms and i have it at about 500 watts per speaker for about 2 years now and its still going.. overall not the greatest sub out there, but it gives u bass..

man everything you've been posted about is really just not a quality product.

remember: good stuff isn't cheap and cheap stuff isn't good

Pick up some of the EHQS 12s from edesignaudio.com (elemental designs) Just installed a pair this weekend hooked to one channel of a eD Nine.2 amp in a vented box and they sound great in a pontiac grand prix. Soon to be building a box for 4 of them to go in the tC powered by two Alpine MRP-M650s.

To answer your questions I've never heard Audiobahns, but they look really nice. Reverse mount them if you decide to go with them. Power Acoustik just doesn't impress me. Very sloppy bass hits imo. You can get better subs for the money. If you're trying to get something locally check out circuit city, they'll impress you with their selection of Kicker and MTX.

if you want a cheap sub get the PG RSd12d. They hit pretty good and can take a beating...mine worked excellent till i accidently hit the "mx" button and now the voice coil is unraveling slowly so i can hear it rub on certain notes

They are called audiobling for a reason. All show, no go.

I guess everyone here has had a bad experience with audiobahn... I had 2 10" Flame Q AW1006T with a A8002V 800 watt amp in a ported box and they POUNDED. I think they are pretty good subs for the price.
