How about some model numbers specifically? Each company listed makes good and bad subs, just an over all list seems too broad.

Without the A-bahn and sony...not even worth the time.

It depends on the ohm load you're looking for and how low of an impedence your amp can handle as to which voice coil configuration to get. If you get dual 2-ohms, you can have a 4-ohm (series) or 1-ohm(parellel) load on the amp. The 1-ohm will allow the amp to feed more power, but you will sacrifice some clarity. The 4-ohm will allow the amp to feed less power into it, but will be more tight and accurate.

What I'm asking is are you wanting hardcore SPL, or SQ?

There are 3 kinds of people in the world, those who can count and those who can't

I would bridge the woofer to a 600 watt (peak power) amp. That particular woofer has a peak load of 800 watts. I'm pretty new to this stuff so would that be my best option? And what do you mean by parellel and series load? My amp has 2 channels.

Also, voice coils have nothing to do with bass right? PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

like i said before in your last post. never go by peak rating. what is the RMS of your amp? peak is worthless it just used to bring in sales with huge numbers. same goes with subs and speakers follow the RMS rating.
