Pffft, thumbs down to Audiobahn... Do yourself a favor, get rid of them subs. Give it someone who wants cheap subs for a cheap price. Get something brand name. That has reputation! MTX, Eclipse, JL, Orion, Kicker, etc. Something of the likes, you will be happier. ------------- Vehicle: Mazda B2200 1989 X-Cab

Was wondering if this Hifonics BX2200D amp would be any good to push 2 12" Audiobahn AW1206T subs and im not sure on the ohms, if the subs are dual 4 ohm impedance, would the amp run at 2 ohms? and also does the amp have a heatsink or cooling fans, sorry im a novice at car stereos =(

Looking at the Hifonics specs....I'm guessing you'll DESTROY those Audiobahn subs...make sure you have a spare set of subs! 2000watts @ 1ohm. NO fan. https://www.maxxsonics.com/hifonics/ampsnew_brutus.html# -------------

why would it be at 1 ohm though?

and you will also have this option 
Unforunately audiobahn is one of those companies that doesn't list the most honest specs and so forth. But that amp is a fairly powerful amp for the price. So maybe different subs and the same amp -------------

those subs claim to take 1100 watts RMS. for the price range you looking for in an amp i would go for a hi fonics bx1605d 1ch x 1600w for about $275 or a hifonics bx2005d 1ch x 2000w for about $350. For the money they are damn good amplifiers that will move those speakers, i think youd be happy with the result

why would you be willing to spend so much for the amp, but you bought audiobahn subs? i would suggest getting an audiobahn , cause audiobahn ratings arent CEA certified, and if you get a REAL amp to what the fake audiobahns are over rated at you might blow them.
