Ive heard both good and bad from audiobahn so i would stay away persoanlly.

As for buying an amp to power your subs, generally look for something that will hit RMS or even a little higher than the subwoofer suggests.

Going over the RMS i really gonna depend on the brand. Audiobahn...maybe 50 over, kicker at the most 40 over. Now some companies like Adire, if their subs are any over the RMS the can **** up.

i give my audiobahn 450w more than the suggested RMS on a daily basis, and it has yet to hurt it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Audiobahn is a decent brand, I used to manage a shop where they were a main line, they have a massive product line while makeing almost everything that you would need for your system, but in many cases I feel that their performance is medicore, (not bad, just not impressive) they seem to spend to much time on flash and flare instead of getting the internals of the unit perfect, the quality is decent and you can usually get a lot out of their subs for the money, but I am still a little weary of the build quality
