what are your goals? Do you want good sound quality, or are you just looking for loud obnoxious crap that can rattle the gold fillings out of your teeth and impress all of your friends with the chrome bling in your trunk?

If you're looking for the latter, then the Audiobahn will probably get you there. If you want sound quality, look into one of the other 10 million choices out there.

Giving us more information about the type of install, the music you listen to, what amp you actually have (forgetting about what it's "rated" for) and what other speakers you've got will help us narrow things down much further.

if you want loud and good sounding and are willing to drop a wad on subs.... id look into www.adireaudio.com the brahma subs or Resonant Engineering XXX 12".
