Are Audiobahn amps as bad of quality as their subwoofers? I am considering one. I have 2 10inch rockford fosgate p3's 400rms @ 20hms. I need an amp thats puttin out 400rms x2 @ 2ohms that is less than $300. |

yes, and morgan you can run 30 speakers off of a mono amp if the impedence stays within limits of the amp, and there is enough power. Just because it says mono doesnt mean you can only run one sub |

i really feel like a retard now... lol, i just ordered my second punch level 3, already had one, before i buy a new amp im going to wire both of them to my alpine amp that puts out 350rms @ 2ohms, would it sound really bad with each sub only getting 175rms? they handle 400rms each. |

it would sound better if you ran just one, provided you can get a 2ohm load with just one sub. |

so one sub off 350rms would hit better than 2 subs off 175rms each? these are the subs :

nobody ever told me if audiobahn amps suck as much as their subs do? do they or not? if not, im probaly getting this one:

800rms @ 2ohms, perfect for 2 400rms @ 2ohms subs right? would i need a capacitator for this amp,and could i wire it with 8 guage, or would i have to use 4? |
