I had the previous model Audiobahn amp like yours (A18001HC)and sold it for $400 in order to buy my DEI1100d.. Like rcurley55 said, you have enough power for 2 MAX's!!!
wooo nascar!

if i run at 4 ohms thats only 600 watts :wiggle: the best thing would be for me to switch to a d4 and run at 1200.. maybe i should call em and ask to send me a d4.. hmm..
and ye SiClone, you're right, i could power 2 maxes.. that would be sweet
wanna buy me one?! :exnbp:

h:no one seems to be answering my question.. how about a brahma 12? they are dual 2 ohm and handle 1600rms.. someone on sound domain recommended a Beyond audio inhuman..

I'm with rcurley again on this one... Just get another MAX. You're already happy with one, so you should be even happier with 2!!!
Changing subs a lot can get expensive because you never get anything close to what you paid...
