Audiobahn A8002T amp
400rms x 2 @ 2 ohms

2 Audiobahn AW1251T 12" subs
400rms
dual 4 ohm (2 or 8 ohm operation)


a friend of mine told me that pushing 400rms to each channel is just too much for those subs and that they will blow.


is that right? or would this be a good setup?

It will be fine because those Audiobahn amps are overrated and so are their subs.

what would go better with that amp?

2 of those 12's or this 15?

Audiobahn DUB500
2" Dual 4 ohm voice coil
120 oz. strontium magnet
RMS power handling: 800 watts


and if i get a single 15" woofer, can that amp be hooked upto it? because it is a dual 4 ohm which operated and 2 or 8 ohms, and that is a 2 channel amp and runs at 4 ohms when bridged.

Are you getting a great deal on Audiobahn equipment or do you just like the chrome?

Nah... you'll be fine.

Think about it. The amp is rated for 400w RMS per channel.

You'll be putting a sub rated at 400 RMS on each one of those channels. So you should be fine.

But... as with any equipment, don't do anything stupid or you'll regret it. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
