Out of all the subs listed above the Audiobahn will move the most air. I have the AW1208Q’s and I can tell you that they hit and they sound clean too. Are you looking for spl or sq?

SPL is strictly the louder the better. SQ is sound quality which is not nearly as loud as SPL but will sound alot better to the ear. The Audiobahn AW1206Q will thump alot harder than the other subs you listed. It is not the best sub for SQ but it can compete with some of the best out there. I would suggest the 08s over the 06s. They may cost alittle more but it is well worth the extra money. I am running 3 AW1208Qs pushed by 2 A18001DQ and they hit hard and you can hear me coming a mile down the road.

What you looking for is SQ/SPL system, have to agree with AW1208Q I would go with the 08 over the 06 worth the extra money and it will hit very hard. But they are power hungry so be sure to get a amp that will put out enough juice, such as the Audiobahn A18001DQ

It’s a good choice. I would suggest hooking up one A18001DQ for each one of your subs that’s a total of 2 amps. If you run that set up you will be amazed at what you have.

the 08s need to be run in odd numbers. like 1 1208 or 3 or 5. this is due to they r dual 2ohm voice coals. if you just want 2 1208s get 2 A18001DQ and it will knock hard as hell.

Hey i just bought 2 A18001DQs and two Audiobahn 1208s. i should get them in a few days. I was wondering what is the best box for these subs. sealed, ported or bandpass, and what measurments should i go with. thanks alot you guys.

Personally I have tried both ported and sealed and I like the way that they sound sealed. They are designed to run ported but it will not harm them to run them in a sealed enclosure. If you go ported they need 3cu/ft per chamber and sealed 1 cu/ft per chamber here is a link to the box specs page for the subs. Off this page you can also get the port specs https://www.audiobahninc.com/tech/Audiobahn2002boxspecs.pdf You made a good choice and will be very happy once you get everything going. If you need any more help let me know and I will be glad to assist you.
