No, get something else...most people will say not to get Audiobahns, and those are bottom of the line Audiobahns...if you want cheap bass that slams...Kicker Comp VRs

4Saris is an unknown quantity at this point
I agree 100% with fonto, those are pretty low end.

Kicker Comp VRs do hit hard for their price.

i've installed a few of these for my friends who just want subs and dont care about quality... they sound alright... but thats for guys who never had subs before. Once you've listened to the good stuff, it'll sound like crap. Kicker CompVRs are pretty good. Also look into Infinity Perfects or the higher kicker subs like the solobarics.

audiobahns are good subs. i've owned their subs/amps/caps and even used their amp wiring only. my expierence with them were real good and i'd definately buy their products again

as for that sub, thats the low model sub which is crap to me. but if your just looking for that little thump in your trunk, then that'd do. but i suggest looking into a better sub than those. those are like 1999 buddy lol.

brands... kicker, audiobahn, jl, mtx? rockford fosgate? (rockford has one of the best brand amps i know of)

Sonic Electronix is awesome. I got my head unit off of eBay from them. Good prices and fast shipping.

Oh yeah, don't get Audiobahn. At least, that's what I've heard. They're adding chrome and flames (chrome flames, eek! ) to their products to try and attract people. Booo.

Hmm... cheap, yet decent sounding bass. The Adire Shiva comes to mind here. You might also want to look into the Resonant Engineering stuff, the Elemental Designs stuff, and the Image Dynamics stuff.
