Ok I'm pretty set on the Audiobahn A8000T amp. But I was thinking of getting the ALUIM1ON found here http://www.cardomain.com/item/ABNALUM10N What I am wondering if it will work with the amp. If I wire it up this way http://www.cardomain.com/shop/wooferwizard.pl?num_of_subs=1&impedance_of_subs=6o hm_dvc&x=157&y=6 it will be wired to run at 3 ohms but I don't know if it will work with the amp as it is 2 ohm stable. I have around $380 to buy the amp, sub, and a box. Basically I want the loudest system I can get for the money. If anyone has any better suggestions for a sub (or amp) I'd like to hear it. Also I've previously had 2 Audiobahn 15" subs and liked them so that's why I am leaning towards all Audiobahn stuff.

The amp is 2ohm stable, so you can run it above 2ohm. I wouldnt get Audiobahn subs, they're not very good, but their i like the amps, especially the A8000T. Check ebay, you can get an A8000T shipped for about 130. Look into some better subs, you'll be amazed if you thought the audiobahns sounded good.

Also I'm looking for basically one sub and don't really want 15"'s again because the ones I had took up almost all of my trunk space.

I also read on here that the amp only puts out around 750 watts instead of the 800. Is this true? If so I was now looking at getting 1 L7 here: http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-S12L7-CAR-AUDIO-L7-SOLOBARIC-12-SUBWOOFER-04_W0QQitem Z9711102393QQcategoryZ39777QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Ok, so if I wired them in series then would they be able to handle the 800 watts rms the amp is putting out?

Alright but what about 1 L7? I like the way it looks. Plus I'm trying to save trunk space.

the L7 is budget spl sub. if you want clean loud bass, then you want the ascendant audio arsenal. close to as loud, matches your amp perfect, and comes with 3 year warranty for approx $175 shipped. aint no better deal than that.

Also the 12" Arsenal is only recommended to be running at 500 watts isn't it?

SW9152, You said that the L7 is an SPL sub. I read that SPL is basically going for loudness. Im pretty sure that is what I am looking for. But as I said before, would one L7 be able to handle the amp? The L7 is rated at 750 watts RMS and the amp is putting out 800 watts RMS. Also, I'm pretty sure it won't be louder, but will the one L7 be as loud as the two Comp VR's?
