my first amp was an audiobahn amp it put out 840 watts rms at 4ohms. And I never had trouble with it just my .02 cents

Brushed aluminum > chrome. Need I say more?

I've got all audiobahn amps and 1 of the audiobahn 1500hct took a crap on me after, being installed, then taken out bc of everything being done to my car. Then put it back in, and then the protection light went on. Sent it to audiobahn, and they gave me a brand new one. Great communication and all....must off been pure luck compared to what everyone else has to say about them. Then my 4601q(been in 5 different vehicles of mine) is 2.5 yrs old and has never given me any trouble. To me,IMO, the amps are very sturdy. I have no idea about the older models.

Compare my amps to, say my brothers 1-mtx6500d, which has taken a crap 3 times after each time being repaired by mtx. I would take my audiobahns anyday...Again all IMO...i know noone said anything about mtx,but it is a respected company compared to audiobahn

i hate cheap people moaning about losing $70-$80...you should be smart enough to know in car audio you'll lose $300-$400 ayr to theft/repairs/accidents......

thats a low number...if you arent man enough to take a lose get out.....

and i'd never buy anything from kid on a internet that thinks hes the greatest in car audio. theres 9-15 good brands of audio equipment.so close to the same level you cant tell which brand you hear in a car driving by.

you on here and sd think 1 or 2 brands are the best.wrong...

audiobahn has more profesionals developing thier gear than half the regular people on this board. jensen/jvc/kenwood/boss/sony/pioneer/lanzar/jl/rf/LA gear also.

just to name afew .

But quality > quantity //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Plus Audiobahn likes to steal other companies designs and then build them to a lower quality.....I wouldn't really call that developing gear, more stealing and then cheaply redesigning gear.

jeez mudd, thats a little on the harsh side dontcha think? Hifonics might not be top of the line by any means, but in no way could you justifiably consider them boat-anchor metaphor worthy. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Dont get me wrong. I don't hate either one, for all intents and purposes (I actually ran a Hifonics Zeus back when they were better). But as a person that makes a living installing stereos, I tend to gravitate to brands that don't fry and come back, therefor costing me time and money on an issue that isn't my fault.

I wasn't kidding about the boat anchor thing though. I'll have to dig up a pic, where an old Targa (remember those?) amp was being used as a literal boat anchor.

In word against Audiobahn, Pyramids strong point is amplifiers, too. My cousin (my rival and his Bronco) runs all pyramid from 180hz down, then Roadmaster 180hz up. 10% equipment, 90% install, it sounds pretty nice.

He already told me he'd never touch Audiobahn.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/sick.gif.b1847c8dabbfeeddbcf1a78052249e10.gif I've never seen a pyramid that wasn't more overrated than Abahn

 

[Raven 10+ year member]

I never said Abahn was more overrated than Pyramid, it was just the statement of someone else.

****, your cousin's a straight up idiot....I mean its one thing to say pyramid has any strong points whatsoever (retarded), but to actually know the concept of sound frequencies and whatnot, yet continue to use pyramid and roadmaster (wwwtfff, thats worse than pyramid), thats just lunacy.
