well get 2 matching subs first of all mate.... they pump out diffferent frequencies and play against esach other. the audiobahn will pump lower and probably better than the JBL. so either fork out on another audiobahn or buy another jbl.

then once u've done that get either a 400w rms or 800w rms 2 channel amp, then it'll sound sweet as ( if u got a good enclosure and also if u don't wack the subs up to full chatt wiv out breaking them in first)

these are all good:

www.incarexpress.co.uk

Prices tend to vary a bit between them for different things, its not just a case of one being the cheapest for everything.

Running 2 subs of different size and brand/model is definately not recommended. They will both have different characteristics, freq responses, requirements etc.....

You are likely to get a clash of frequencies, cancelling out/doubling of waves and it will sound pretty bad. Your best off just running one of the two, or getting another one to match. The Audiobahn will be the better choice imo as it had a much higher RMS rating, although they arnt all that for sound quality or reliability
