i'm going to beat others to the punch on this and say almost anything is better than audiobahns (i used to sell them) even my $70 pioneer would most likely kill both of them.. thats was just to soften u up.. #1 thing u need to do is tell us what amp u have and then go to a website called sundown audio look at just the E AND SA and FU AUDIO look at the 750 subs and come back after u have seen nice subs.. 1 guy on here has 8 fu 12's another guy has 2 sundown 15's 2500rms each these guys are for real about bass., i'm the nice old guy with the crappy system.. seriously look at those subs..

He won't need a deck with the bit 10. It has de-EQ and should be able to pull a signal before the amp. That's where boss does it's processing.

Which audiobahns and amp do you have? Work with what you have for now. Is your plan just to add subs or are you wanting to upgrade the entire system. I had an 06 4.2 with base stereo?
