Hmm. Im not quite sure why you had so much of a problem with audiobahn... maybe I just got lucky. I have an audiobahn flame-q 12" sub that can handle 1100 watts RMS. I picked it up for around $100 and I have had it almost 2 years and it is still kicking just the same as the day I bought it. I have been through like 3 head units though (all different brands) and am in need of another.

If you want something that will hit other than audiobahn I suggest checking out Memphis Audio. I havent heard anything bad come from them yet. That or you could go with some good Rockford Fosgates. (I am trying to get the "power series" speakers.)

It is the path of least resistance that makes rivers and men crooked
