    What is the purpose of teh 2 subs? Sound Quality, SPL, mostly SPL with a little music thrown in? What sort of vehicle? What sort of box are you thinking? Willing to give up ALL the trunk space? Some? Very little?

    How much power will you be putting to these woofers? What Amp, or does that depend on the brand of woofers?

    What is the budget for the whole project?


    I know thats a LOT of questions, but they are things you should know the answer to before you buy anything. Depending on your answeres, some might suggest different woofers...

    Personally, I would choose "Other brand" from the ones you have listed, but thats just me...

    Same here, if you don't mind distortion and leads not even big enough to support the power then go ahead and get the Audiobahn. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many Audiobahn subs I've seen that get fried because the leads they use are almost no bigger around than floss and usually not long enough to handle much woofer excursion.

    Alpine and Rockford are both ridiculously overrated, Rockford more than Alpine IMO.

    Honestly I'd make the jump up to JL, it'll be more than worth it in the end. JL might be pretty costly but at least they deliver on and exceed their claims.
