amp question
ok.. i want to get another audiobahn 10" sub.. basically it would run on a 2 ohm load. its 900 watts RMS. so it would be 1800 watts RMS alltogether. now my question is, what audiobahn amp could i buy that could power both of them? i have no idea what to look for.. heres the link for the amps,

and then scroll down to the high current amplifiers. thats the model i want if i can use it to power both of them.or would i still need to use my sony amp to power one then get an audiobahn to power the other one? id just rather get one audiobahn amp to power both. and just in case you want more specs on my subs, heres the link for them..

Remember, you want that much of peak power. A 1800w continues amp will mess up or even blow your subs if their rated at 900w peak each since they would be getting double that at peak output from the amp.
I second the two amp idea. If you wire em up right, you can get stereo bass.

I'd recomend 2 amps. Audiobahn doesn't have the greatest track record so if one blows you'll at least still have half of your bass. A monoblock is just one channel amplifier as opposed to a 2 channel, or 4 channel, etc. They usually come with class d circuity which is more power efficient for subwoofers.
It is very rare to have a song where you can differentiate left from right when it comes the low notes subs will play. The lengths of the waves are so long that human can't really tell exactly where it's coming from. Normally, people pack their subwoofers in the their trunks all right next to each other and usually in the same box so the 'stereo bass' would just cancel itself out anyway.
Your noise issue while you are driving is most likely related to a bad ground (loose connection, poor choice of location, or not properly sanded down) or possibly an rca issue. Try disconnecting amps to see if it is indeed from the amps or the head unit.

it's better to have to much power than not enough , if you are gonna stick with audiobahn as a brand i would use 2 amps, if you are open to other types of amps ya could look at Orions, Kicker, MATTS, or Rockford who make reliable, very strong amps capable of running 2 high powered speakers with no problem. Like previously stated Audiobahns amplifiers aren't known for mad reliability, but they sound pretty nice while their working lol.
