hey one of my friends asked me about an amp and i just wanted to know what you guys thought about it its an audiobahn A18001DT it looks preety good to me but what do you guys think about this amp he is looking for something around 2000rms at 1 ohm and he found one of theses new for i think $440 so what dou yall think?

If he doesn't mind the huge electrical upgrade that is needed to run this beast, it'll work. Does he really need that large an amp? (SPL Comps and such)
What does he want to use for subs?
FYI: Bahn's are not the most reliable amps/subs on the planet. One ohm loads are pretty tough on most non-HC designs. (HC = High Current)

That's their Class D amp, and 1ohm isn't a major factor. However, they are slightly overrated, but the chrome makes up for that.
For the price, you could probably ge tthe same in a more reliable model, but it would do decent.

he is going to use two of there eternal subs 12 they claim for 1300rms i believe would he be better off with one of therir high current amps?

hey would you need a 2 gauge wire kit for this or would a 4 gauge of good quality work for this amp

Looks like a #2 gage kit is about right for just this amp alone. As I ran some numbers, at 1 ohm loads, this amp will draw close to 150 amperes of current at full power.
As for subs, a pair of subs (4+4 DVC's) that can handle 1000 watts RMS per sub, would be sufficient. This sub (a pair) would be a very good choice for this amp:

Finally, this will be a pretty strong bass engine. Hope your friend has plans for major electrical upgrades under the hood and a stout full range amp and speakers to keep up with the subs.

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15442 i think that these are the subs that he is going to use. now the 2 gauge sounds rite but he had asked me to find him a kit well the only 2 gauge wire kit that ive found is a power acoustics kit but it looks pretty cheap do you guys know of a good 2 gauge kit
