i used audiobahn for years, and always sounded good, but it took enormous amps to push. then i got a good deal on some JL 12w0's in a PW and tried them.....more sound outta them with a 300 watt amp than outta a 1000 watt amp with the subs you are talking about.

now, running different JLs
i'd say get JLs if you can. they are reliable and strong!
