better for me is it has to be durable after my horrible pioneer 12's blew, and i have to still hear the music, but have some deep bass when wanted.....i've heard audiobahn is overpriced, they just make their stuff look all pretty

I got 3 10" audiobahns in a bandpass box. They definately bump when needed, but it's not clear enough for me. I will be switching these subs out, when i have some money to spare. If you care a lot about the sound quality, go for the alpine's; if you just want something to bump in a parking lot, go for audiobahn

usually, audiobahns have a deeper and harder sound, where the alpines have a better overall sq sound. but 90% is still all in the install

i would look into getting a better amp. Sony's explode line does exactly that explode(not really but you get the point)

The sony amp would be fine for his use, he would most likely notice no difference between a sony amp, a jl amp, an alpine amp, or any other brand with those models of subs.

why not get two kicker comp vr 12's off ebay for around 170 shipped and throw them in a ported box tuned to 32hz... that will get loud as hell and still sound good doing it.
