    What subs are you using? We need to know the impedance of the subs as well as if they are DVC or SVC.

    Mixing subs is not going to be the best idea. I don't know exactly what subs you are using but I would say either get rid of the one 600w RMS sub and use only the 500w RMS subs (assumming they are the same model) or use the 600w RMS sub and get rid of the 500w RMS subs.

    The links you posted didn't work (if it is from ebay they won't work). Power Acoustik is not going to be a very good brand. I don't think anyone here will recommend anything Power Acoustik. I would recommend a different brand, with the further info maybe I could recommend somehthing specific.

    the 2 500w subs are audiobahn dub200's and the 600w sub is a performance teknique. they are all 3 dual voice coil.

    and i know i cant get the links to work, but if you go to .....com they have the most pictures and info on the amps im interested in getting. as for the subs you'll probably have to google them.

    thanks

    From what I found the Audiobahn subs are 400w RMS not 500w.

    Do you have a price range that you are looking at for the amp?

    i know, when i bought them it said 400w rms in the description, but when i got them in the mail, on the factory box it says 500w rms... so i dunno im just going by what the factory box says. anyways, yeah around $200 would be nice

    I am looking for some amp help also as I have not been able to get in touch with Audiobahn. I want to purchase an Audiobahn AW1005N which has Dual 2 ohm voice coils and runs an RMS wattage of 900. I jus neep help with knowing how many watts x how many channels @ how many ohms my amp needs to be to run this wattage.
