I know comparison topics should not be posted, but I felt this was more than just that. Which one of these is better?

Obviosly you can see the difference. But they have the same power ratings. The eternal I guess is supposed to be more from comp use. Which one is better for sound quality and spl? Mainly sound quality.

I choose the third one, Nothing

My opinion of Audiobahn is I would rather use just my factory speakers.

skip both of them. Read this board more and you'll figure out pretty quick what some of the kick *** subs are.

step away from the bahns now! i saw one of those at a car show and it sounded just loud and not musical at all and when the guy tryed to show off how loud it could get, it cracked the sub. but that was a alum type bahn which looks like the first one on there. and just to let you know if you dont already, audiobahn is over rated so those subs may or maynot handle 900wrms

Then what do you suggest that is "better" than these Audiobahn subs for close to the same price?

Order both then beat the shit out of them. Take vids too.

Which one? The $130 one or the $299 one? For starters you can get an Alpine Type S for around $130 that whoops the Bahns. Then there's the 187's from IA, and so on.

And for $299 you can get some KICK-*** subs that make Bahns look like... Dual.

I doubt the type S would touch those things in loudness... and 130 is very expensive for just one

For 300 bucks you can pick up two Premier 30004SPL's... much better quality woofers and can handle an honest 1000 watts a piece.

Get a pair of Type R's, or even the 30004SPL's like suggested. Just dont get those Audiobahns man, I made the mistake of buying a pair for my first subs, and they are now useless and worthless...

Have you looked into memphis?

two PR 12's can blow away the bahns, and only need 1/4 the wattage to do it.

save money on the amp.

lol, yeah, everyone in montgomery is like "oh shit, the bahns are da best"

My 2 little dinky memphis woofers, metered louder and registered higher sq than one guy's 2 15" bahns..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

That is sad.

I expected to get a higher sq, but I never thaught I would whip his *** in spl.

First of all, I KNOW the Type S can't touch the Eternal in SPL, or maybe even the other one for that matter, but it will come close and sound tons better, therefore Type S > Bahn.

Secondly, please point me in the direction of an authorized Alpine dealer where I can get a Type S for much less than $130. I've seen them for around $100 on Onlinecarstereo, but are they authorized?
