Man I had to look at it and think about it for over a year. I had something in my head telling me I was not getting the power I should. 1800watt RMS mono block amp to 700watt audiobahns and it just didnt sound like it was hittin hard. Finally I checked it today after being lazy for so long and the damn shop wired the subs to a 4ohm stable connection. They were suppose to be run at a 1ohm stable mono load. Did that today and god damn i almost threw up from the damn bass. here is the diagram on how they are wired. Its the top right one. Two speakers 4OHM a peace.

I bet you this thread goes 5 pages long. There hasnt been an audio thread in a awhile hehe. Figured I would start one. And NASA you can go with JL if you want they do knock hard as fuck. The friend the rewired my shit today pulled his car next to mine when he was done and he is runnin 2 JL W6 V2 in his shit and I have 2 audiobahn 1200Qs. He is about even with me now if not a little bit better. Both his and mine are wired down to 1ohm mono.

Well They knock dogg I wouldnt say super knock..that would just be conceeded of me. I know there is people out there better. I have heard it. But unless you got the JLs you aint outdoing me. Lets put it that way.
C'mon man...when are you going to get rid of those damn Audiobahn's? J/P...I know you like 'em.....

I don't have no over-priced JL Audio's...but I still say I'm louder than you. One day we're gonna have to meet up...see what all this hype is about.

Right now Im workin with a JL 500/1 amp with 2 factory sealed JL 12 W3. Dont get me wrong its cool, but I desire more knock. This thread I think has inspired me to fiddle around with my system, and possibly upgrade. I got a nice clarion deck 50x4. I spent 1.5 hours perfecting my frequencys and shit on my amp. I need more!

EDIT>> got off my ass just now and used my 4MP olympus cam. Shit did hella good and it was night time.
Here is the 700watt subs running at 1OHM

This is the Boss R2200D D class amp pushing around 750 to each sub 1 Ohm Stable.


This is my fuse block where I seperate the power to use between two amps. These are 2 80W fuses in there.


This is my second of 3 fuse stations I guess you could call em in my car. This is a 80W fuse to protect the cap.



Here is what the deck looks like in the day and at night.




Here is what the audiobahn amp hooked to the highs looks like in the day and at night.



Here is my capacitor



And last but not least the dynamat to stop the raddleing....well most of it lol
