brand opinions

My buddy recently purchased 2 12" Audiobahn AW1206T subs.  They're dual coil 4ohm 1100w RMS.  I told him if he wants to run both subs off of one amp he needs one major powerful 1-ohm stable amp.  He did some googling, and he found a 3000W RMS 1-ohm stable amp by "Diesel Audio", anyone have any opinion on this?  What do you guys recommend he use to power them?

One more question,  I'm looking to upgrade my deck and I found this pretty neat looking deck by Power Acoustik, model: PTID-5300 ( http://www.beachaudio.com/Power-Acoustik/Ptid-5300-p-106871.html ).  Any opinions on power acoustik and their decks?  Any similar deck that is a better buy that you know of?

Appreciate your opinions and help, thanks a lot.

diesel & PA are  probably not the way to go either with amplification and  source. Ive had noyhing but problems with that brand.  It comes down to aquality thing.   thatt amp doesn't have the fuses to push that much power.(2x30 and 8-4ga terminals?)

good stuff isnt always cheap, cheap stuff isnt always good.

save a couple  paychecks for some reputible products. you'll have more satisfying and longer lasting system.

<<<<<<<enters the devils advocate!!!!!

hold up for just a minute.... if that is the correct model number... that makes those the audiobahn flame Q's... i just google em and the ones that came up i remember to actually be a pretty serious sub.  I had a customer who was running two of them in an impala on two jl 1000/1's and they took every bit of it and pounded the whole time.... audiobahn was never really known as a solid name brand... but if those are what u have to work with.... just use em to the best potential u can.

always.... always remember...... most of this gear is only as good as the way it's being used.  some people will make a big deal outta name brands, but the fact is not everyone can afford brands like focal, jl audio, etc...

a really good amp u could use without breaking the bank open would probably be two of the alpine mrpm1000 that just came out... decent amount of power.. u don't have to mortgage the house to own em.... and yes they are a reputable name brand from a line of amps that have been the best selling in the world for the last two years!!!!

don't get wrapped up in the hype... buy what u like... afterall, it's your money... just make sure u get something that will bring a smile to your face one way or the other... hope this helps....
