which subs will hit harder?

Dude, you just asked the same question.  Was this post a mistake?

Again.  Don't even mention max wattage for amps or speakers, it means nothing.  Dual voice coils doesn't necessarily mean a sub will play any louder or cleaner.  I share xtreamcc's distaste for Audiobahn, but, like I said in the other thread, replace your amplifier and your box before you buy new subs. 

Also, the heat dissipating vents on the 'usual audiobahn quality' subs are gimmicks.  They might reduce some heat, but are more for looks.

The only difference between SVC and DVC subs is the load presented to the amplifier. There is no difference in sound or performance between the two.

Xtreamcc:

You just said that Jensen can outperform Audiobahn.  I feel sick.  First of all, Can you list for me all of the Jensen and Audiobahn setups that you have ahd in your car.  I have specific, (unfortunaley) experience with both of these brands, and I can personally tell you that $200 spent on Audiobahn will give you a better product in every way than $200 will with Jensen. Dont get me wrong, I'm not an audiobahn fan, but I have owned it and I know the difference between garbage (Jensen) and cool garbage (Audiobahn)

"I can personally tell you that $200 spent on Audiobahn will give you a better product in every way than $200 will with Jensen. "

Um...  Is that a challenge?  You can keep your $200 a piece Audiobahn subs.  I would take my $200 and buy 4 18in Legacy or Pyramid subs.  Even though they are cheap, and not relatively good compared to other subs of the same size, 4 18in subs will hit much harder than an AudioBahn sub of the same price.

The way that sub manufacturers can produce such "high" SPL from relatively small subs is by allowing them to have an insane peak-to-peak excursion.  I've seen a 12in sub that had a claimed peak-to-peak excursion of ~8in.  With that much excursion, it is almost impossible to keep the driver linear.

ROFL! LMAO!

 "I guess you do "get what you pay for." In Audiobahn's case this happens to be chrome flames and advertising, not quality. "

...and it works!! I think ive seen more audiobahn setups in my area then anything else, I also see alot of sony and MA audio.  The rich kids/older guys "in the know" have MMATS (the best, and most expensive, shop around sells them)
