audiobahn amps?

[babsuhl81 10+ year member]

Are audiobahn amps any good? Some people around my area swore by them back in the day? I wasn't really impressed but knew nothing back then. Do they do rated power or not? If any models are good let me know which ones. Thanks

From what I hear now audiobahn amps aren't what they used to be. They are more or less overpriced for how they sound/perform. I heard the newer stack-able amps and they really don't sound that good at all. But to each is own I guess.

I have no clue which ones are older or newer. Can you tell me?

About 12 years ago this guy had a 3200 watt amp ans pair of 12s and I had 500 watt mtx amp and 3 type r 10s. Mine was louder outside the car. Another experience with audiobahn was a 12 frying during a comp. Just curious as to what they are really about

I couldn't really tell you the difference either man. Their designs are very similar to the older models. I heard they don't do rated but do close to it but I don't think that they are good at their current price point. Needless to say if you want to spend 500 on a sub amp get something like aq, sundown, crescendo, etc. Mainstream isn't the way to go anymore. I have Soundstream amps and I'm satisfied for now because they have performance and are affordable.

I'm not gonna buy 1 unless 1 comes up for sale for real cheap. I was just curious about them. I'm gonna save up for the ab vfl4480

Good choice on that one! Can't go wrong with AB I know audiobahn amps look cool as hell and put close to rated so if u can get one real cheap id say it would be a steal. Happy amp hunting buddy!

I got a speeding ticket so it slowed me down. I was already supposed to send my sub in to get rebuilt but that's delayed now too

i have a audiobahn a2300hct and two soundstream rubicon 2500.1 and i can tell you that my 10yr old audiobahn sounds better and gets louder than one of my brand new soundstreams. but the bahn is power hungry

I have an audiobahn A18001DJ 2500 watt amp. It is fused for 180 amps. so it looks a little over rated but you wont notice much difference between 2000 and 2500 watts. The amp stated by the poster above and this mono amp are the best audiobahn amps out there. you can but one like mine for around 400 bucks, I paid 260.00 new in box for mine. I don't have much expierence with the cheaper series of amps. but i can tell you that most speakers as long as it is in a proper box will work and last Audiobahn included. Same for the amps. I had one of these same amps back in 2001 wanging hard on an audiobahn 15" linear sub. man that thing pounded hard! I'll include a gut shot of my 2500watter in case you are intrested.

They have a cheap decent spec'd 5ch i've been looking at. But I swore to myself 12 years a go that i'd never run Audiobahn. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/ponder.gif.ec2527b23f1d287b60dcbba54f95edba.gif

Some of the older audiobahn amps were actually fairly decent if you could get past the chrome and lights. The newer stuff does seem way overpriced for what it is .

Stay away from it all. Subs and amps. Even the old stuff in no good.

And your reasoning behind this is what?
