how many watts tonyD? My audiobahn amp is rated at 1600watts, but rated at 12.5 volts. I am very pleased with my audiobahn gear, and got great deals on all of it:
2200hc amp (1600watts) $350 (normally $1000)
2 12" 1200eus $189 (normally $199 each)
4 5x7 plates $95 (off ubid)
For a total of $650 I decked my car out with a great sounding system, when I was shopping around for different brands prior to buying anything, I couldn't find anything even remotely close in quality for these prices.
Sure there are much better brands out there, and they cost a lot more. Just like there are much better cars out there than my SVT, I just don't have the $$$.
