well, from experience I could reccomend these, anything else around, I havent used yet.

but these sounded good and was very loud when I had one running, I couldnt imagine If i had both hooked up, and I didnt have this much power.

the subs I had were the AW1200X which is earlier models, the current ones are the AW1200Q audiobahn high excursions, they sell for 85 each on ebay and perform as good as the 225 dollar punch HX2 my friend bought.

but I had the audiobahn amp that says 1200 watts, but was really less. Id go with the JBL BP1200.1 tho, tested at 1411 watts RMS at 2 ohms. same power at 1 ohm tho. and sells for 275

but with 2 of the high excursions it is one amp, which will be harder on the amp. but would sound good and LOUD!

or if you got room, the ALUM12Q's are only 130 each, and dua;l 6 ohm coils so you could get 2 of thoise and have 1.5 ohms from 2, a lighter load on the amp and they are probably better than the AW1200Q's, a higher end model. 3 would be 1 ohm if you had the room.

so it would end up being 500 shipped for 1200 thefirst choice, or 545 or 675 for the aluminum choice, depending on wether you get 2 or 3.

I had one AW1200X running off of probably like only 450 watts or so, in a ~3 ft cubed ported box and my rear view mirror fell off all the time, bounced nickels 3 inches off my trunk and people couldnt even sit in the back seat or their ears hurt. and that wasnt even turned all the way up.

get what you want, but i guarantee you wont be dissapointed wiht Audiobahn subs.
