AUDIOBAHN or ROCKFORD SUBS

[MR_LOWRIDER 10+ year member]

I have a 1000rms sony d class amp i'm gonna be running so my box will be playing a big factor.I'm not sure if 3.75-5.5 cu ft is gonna cut it...I'm sure 140+ will come easy but thats all i'm thinking.If anyone has tips on how large of a ported box i need let me know please.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Ok here is why i dont think he can hit 150. I have seen a guy with two orion hccas hit 158.9 on a good day. Seen a guy hit 155.6 with 3 fosgate HE2 15s and 2 rockford bd1000s. Now i am agian not doggin audiobauhn think they are good subs it just that there is no way you can hit 150 with it in my opinion its hard to hit that with a very good subwoofer let alone an audiobauhn even though good brand sub still not a 150 unless its thier alums which are pretty good so i might belive it with the right amp and encloser. But i didnt mean to affend anyone or piss any one off so dont come back with little baby remarks like (JLGIRL) which is about stupid (really original give you props man) but anyway dude i dont want to fight never have on here its an caraudio forum not some place where people *****. I will tell you that you know nothing at all if about car audio if your asking which is better audiobauhn or rockford rockford wins by a longshot they are not a major award winning company for nothing and i am just stateing facts not opinions I have heard both and think that the fosgates wins in most departments so if you can respect my opinion then screw you dude i have more knowledge in my pinky about car audio then you do in your entire worthless body so just let it go dude not worth the argument I am here to help people and get help not to affend them and i dont see why you replyed back deffending the guy who you dont even know so grow up and get over it and as for Rangerman I have 1 crystal cmp 15 inch subwoofer in a 2.5 sealed box ran by an JLaudio 500/1 soon upgrading to a 1000/1 and as for componets fosgate fanatic q front and rear ran by an fosgate 200@4 all fosgate wires and caps sony cdx l650 head unit with with audio control eq and x overs optima battery all in 1995 ford mustang gt 5 speed. Now i hit 142.6 with 2 JLaudio 12 w3s with same setup as stated above and the new system hit 151.2 with the cyrstal sub an d hopfully gain a few dbs with new amp now the i meant the audiobauhn 150 can be easily done with one sub but mine was a 500 dollar sub and i hit 151 not much more and i now i will kill any audiobauhn sub. SO WHAT DO YOU HAVE RANGERMAN and what do you drive and what do you hit?????? Dude i am sorry if i affend anyone just wanted to get back at you lowrider so dont post back with stupid shit its over and were even dude PEACE.

I'm looking to hit anywhere from 140db up to 150db's with one power hx2-12" sub powered by 1000rms sony d-class amp with a 3.75-5.5 cu ft box by the way.I think around 142 db's is what i might get.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

To answer your question I have 2 Audiobahn Alum10x subs each pushed by an individual JBL 1200.1. The last time I was measured, I hit 139.7 open doored. Now you think of this. I have a very, VERY small cab, and 2 10s. If I could build a bigger enclosure and if I had a car or SUV, I could blow your system clean out of the water with my audiobahns and they are just 10s!!! Oh yeah, what do you think I drive genius?

ok so just because audiobahn cost $150 they can't hit a 150+ spl?? since you do it with a $500 sub woofer . does that mean a $500 sub can't hit a 170 since it only cost $500 and a $500 sub is hitting a 150 ? is this what your saying ?

Exactly, you look at the Adire Audio Shivas and they hit hard and don't cost much!

Yea pretty much i am not impressed by audiobauhn all that much ok but overrated i mean they do have some bump but not near the bump of other subs and i was basically saying that my sub is a very good subwoofer and will outlast and outperform the audiobauhns i think that they are a cheap sub and i think that the reason for the more high priced subwoofers is the quaility and performance of the subwoofer and rangerman i know i would smoke you anyday of the week i am pushing it half way right now wait till i get the 1000/1 i am hoping to gain 10dbs easily i will let you take a look at its a very nice sub http://www.crystalmobilesound.com now dont be mouthin that you can blow me out of the water just because you think your systems the greatest thing on the earth when it isnt shit dude i could easily smoke your *** i have seen and heard your subs sound ok but not near any comp purpose. Let me ask you a question how many titles have audiobauhn won compared to rockford JL ect...... yea ectzactly question answered if they were so great then why wouldnt people be using them all the time. Dude i dont want to piss you off rangerman casue i know your cool and a vip member and know you know your shit as well as me just trying to say that car audio is mostly about opinion and i just have some differnt than yours just dont get pissed off if i tell you somthing thats true I am done this is just a waste of time rather help people then piss them off. Oh yea you have 1 more sub than me and more cone area and bet you i would still kill you just my opinion. If you do not belive me ask someone who actully knows thier shit jtmoney, zane ect.. they will answer your question and dude i am serious no hard feelings man.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

a DD9515 cost $499 can you hit harder then that? and gain 10db from doubling your power isn't it est. doubling your power gains you 3db i know thats when your really up there but gaining 10db from adding 500watts . good luck . and your right fosgate has more awards but then again best buy claims to have a bunch of awards you gonna hand your system over to them to do just because you don't have the awards ?

I have won comps around here so Audiobahn has won many local comps around the country. Audiobahn is still a fairly new company, you give them a couple of years to get their stuff together and I bet you will be supprised. One more sub only adds a average of three dbs. Mine gained about 5 when I put the second one in. Right now I am in the process of getting two Eclipse TI subs. Lets see who could beat who then. My point is, with your extra 500 watts, you will gain about 5 dbs. If I could have a bigger enclosure (mine is under specs) and an SUV or car or for that matter, an extended cab truck, I know I could win. Now if you had 2 15s each hooked up to a 1000/1 you would be taking me to the woodshed. Audiobahns are also not over rated though.

listen hear you ******,It doesn't matter where i'm from you know (shit from shine).And just because i dont have a sub at this moment doesn't meen I am less of a person and last i never came to your thread running my mouth so back the **** up and keep your pie hole shut ok.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/nono.gif.eca61d170185779e0921b0faa9704973.gif
