the audiobahn are better subs but would need more power. the cvrs are a better match for that amp.
IMHO.

yes, the 8000's are single vc 4 ohm. Put them in paralell for a 2 ohm load.

Or, the cvr's are dual vc 2. series the coils on each woofer, then paralel to the amp for a 2 ohm final load.

I give up, thats the 801st time i've explained 4 / 2 = 2. my head hurts from all this complicated math.......

and i think 800 isn't enough for them.

"the audiobahn are better subs but would need more power" Cough, cough, puke!

Well they'd be better as a midrange, or if your driveway's on a slant ('specially if your car has a tendancy to slip out of park and roll into traffic).
Buy 2 Kicker Dual 2 Ohm subs and hope your amp can keep up.

Hands down the CVR's are a far better sub.
