Right now i am trying to decide between 3 Infinity Kappa Perfect 12s and 3 Audiobahn Alum12Qs. Im trying to get kinda a show system going so thats why im attracted to the Alums and have heard a few good things about them but i have heard more good things about the Perfects but they arent as good looking as the Alums. So im asking is there a big difference between the two subs audio wise. And in the past i have owned a brahma 12 and a Solobaric 15 and while the brahma had incredible SQ it wasnt enough SPL and cost too much to get another and the Solobaric had crazy SPL but no SQ so im looking to go somewhere in the middle. And the subs are priced about the same on ebay which is about 300-350 for all of them.

thanks

audiobahn isn't event in the same league as Infinity. Those 12Q's will get louder, but as they do those aluminum cones will distort the crap out of your music. The kappas will hit hard, low, and clean. I'm all for the kappas over the alum's

Let me see how should I put this... GO with the Kappa's. They have great SQ but should still get plenty loud.

The Audibahns will get louder, but you wil lose a lot of SQ. Plus, it seems like EVERYONE has audiobahn in their cars these days, they might impress the casual onlookers at shows, but those into car audio will have greater respect for the Kappas. What amp(s) are you planing on using?

Pimpcavy: im planning on staying with the JBL 1200.1 amp and i figure i will get all 1200 running to them so about 400 watts to each sub would be about how much they would get and i dont see them blowing off 400 watts...well hopefully!
