i am strapping together 2 rockford 1001 bd amps that would power the 2 diamond audio m6's. i have a sealed enclosure because i have limited trunk space for a larger ported enclosure. it's about 1.4ft^3 per sub before sub displacement. would this sound pretty good? i want good spl and some good sq. with 2000watts rms it should still get loud even though it's in a sealed box shouldn't it?

I had a friend who used audiobahn, it was low quality crap and he got rid of it all.

Yeah that's it...........because we all know nothing about the term "power handling", right?

Im just saying that if you spend $50 or $100 on an audiobahn sub then your buying the low grade audiobahn stuff like the 1000q's. Everything above that level has the ability to sound good... it's just the setups that people put them in that sound like crap. Everytime somebody says something bad about audiobahn I WILL BE HERE !!! HA HA HA!!!. They don't make the best subs in the world but they are definately worth buying.
