New Subwoofers
I have decided that I am going to get some cheap new subs. Currently I have 2 12' 1000w max Volfenhags which one has a bad voice coil and barely moves. I still think they sound okay and they still hit hard! Mirrors can still be rattled! I have heard that you cant beat Volfenhag subs performance for the price and am wondering if thats true? Ive seen some cheap Pioneers.
My current setup is a 1 farad Mobile Authority cap and a Audiobahn A8002T amp w/ the following specs
Sound Effects
Bass Boost
Controls
Gain
Response Bandwidth
10 - 40000 Hz
Signal-To-Noise Ratio
100 dB
Continuous Power / Channel Qty
200 Watts x 2
Input Channel Qty
2 channel(s)
Amplifier Output
2-channel
Output Channel Qty
2 channel(s)
High Level Inputs
Yes
Low Pass Frequencies
50 - 120 Hz
High Pass Frequencies
50 - 750 Hz
Bass Boost Gain
0 to +18dB
Output Power / Total
800 Watt
Distortion Factor
0.02%
Amplifier Output Details
200 Watt - 4 Ohm - 2 channel(s)
400 Watt - 2 Ohm - 2 channel(s)
800 Watt - 4 Ohm - 1 channel(s)
Additional Features
Thermal protection, overload protection, subsonic filter, cooling fan, short circuit protection, nickel plated connector
So what would you guys recommend? I dont really want to spend more than $150 for 2 subs. Or should I just buy one more Volfenhag to replace the old one? I dont remember if they are 2 or 4 ohms. Thanks!

i had that same amp hooked up to 2 infinty 12's i had gotten at circuit city on sale for under 200, and it pounded, i too have also heard volfenhag is great for the price, so you might wanna just get a new one of those, i bet best buy has two punch 12's you could get for around 150ish

sorry for the short response, i had severe shoulder surgery two weeks ago. if you want to save money get 1 quality sub. i would run a kicker CVX off that amp, you wont be disappointed. one CVX running off the same power will be louder. when you take a certain amount of power and split it between two drivers you lose output, instead of powering one higher powered sub. two subs are never as loud, as one sub on the same power. if your going to double the subs you need to double the power, and that still isn't even twice as loud. i really love my sub, the only sub i would replace it with is a W6 or W7. And i have heard my fair share subs.

I have a Audiobahn ABP122T that i purchased a year or two ago. They're decent for the price and hit pretty hard for a bandpass setup. Recently, my amp blew out (May) so I decided to upgrade my sub/amp to a JL 13W7 with a 1000/1 V2 amp.
The Audiobahn ABP122T are 2-12" subs. If you're interested, i'll sell it to you lol
