bah... I have 3 of the Audiobahn 2300HCT's which are huge mothers.. nothing like adding the weight equaliviant of 6-8 people in the back of your car when all is said and done

underpowering the Audiobahn subs is bad as well.. are you sure that you didnt have a new rep who was confused and had it all backwards? Those subs need a specific power flyin at them or you might as well just buy something else that you can power or afford.

i've found they work best when they have about 30' of marine grade rope attached to them, while tied to the bow cleat of a boat.
