thanks for the compliments guys. and i would say 75lbs is pretty close i struggle with just the motor more than my premier tsw5102spl so it may be heavyer

its kinda funny this things 20.25 in wide with 12" of cone area lol its basically a huge 5" coil 13.5 lol. so hopefully ill get all tones out of it!

This audiobahn sub was designed and had a full production built in 1998 IIRC. Audiobahn was sure ahead of their time. It's too bad they never did any more R&D and upgrades after that. I love all of my AWT's. Still have a brand new ten.
