Sup guys, I just stumbled upon this forum and wondered if anyone can help me out. I am considering getting an audiobahn abp12t system.(2 12" audiobahns in bandpass box built by audiobahn) Any one know anything about these? Are they any good? Audiobahn says the subs are 4 ohm stereo, if I wire them together for a 2 ohm load and push them with a mono amp,(jbl 600.1) will it hurt the subs since they are stereo?

that'd be fine.
the JBL even has two sets of speaker terminals for wiring up two subs in parallel.. makes life easy.

hint: with the JBL amps, use a pair of Y splitters for the RCA connectors.
you'll have four RCAs (front and rear L+R) which are so that fader won't attect output.. but with the JBLs for some reason, putting full signal to all 4 inputs makes the amp really perform at it's peak. try with and without using all 4 inputs and you'll see what I mean.

PS: www.etronics.com for the JBL at a good price

My cars wired and ready to go, I previously had one audiobahn sub powered by a sony amp (I know), so the hard stuff is already done.
Thanks for the help.

just keep in mind that a band pass enclosure set up will perform only within a very limited and specific range but if its where you want then it should be a good choice.
