I had some bahns and i thought i was cool having subs and all. I cranked them all the time and they sounded good to me. Then I heard some alpine kicker jl and others and they made my bahns sounds like noise Not music.

Bahns r good for noobs but you cant experience truely good sound with them.

Everybody hates on audiobahn but how many have actually owned them?. I had 2 12" AWT12X subs and they were some of the loudest subs I have ever heard and sounded alright. They were built well, could handle a shitload of power and performed quite well. I am not saying they are top of the line at all but depending on the model you buy they can be decent subs. I wouldn't use them in a SQ install if my life depended on it though.

ya, who here's actually used the audiobahns?

i've never heard the audiobahns, and i've heard (and owned) shitty and not-loud kicker setups..........

But the audiobahn's have the chrome basket which supercharges the output and is good for 50 db's. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i can talk about audiobling! ive had 2 separate audiobling sub setups, and also blew up my buddy's audiotrash subs. The first audiobling setup i had blew out after 3 months... off of a single bazooka amp. nuff said there. My 2nd i got rid of cuz i got a good deal on some memphis m-class 12s, which i still have after 2.5 years of totally abusing with more than 2x their max power rating... and i sold the amp that used to pwoer them before i got my alpine MRV-1507... The MRV-T757. I sold it to my friend david for 100 bucks cuz it was taking up valuable space in my room, and his boss "1000 watt" amp crapped out.. i should have known better when he told me about his amp, he said it was made my bose... and i thought "wtf bose makes amps for the general market? not just their specific systems? :eyebrow:" So i got in the back of his explorer and backhanded him.. its was BOSS not BOSE... dumbass, so i hooked up the amp, and upgraded the speaker leads, which were puny 14 or 16 awg wires, with some of my spare 10awg i had leftover from my install. It was instantly different. When we cranked it up, his bandpass box's plexiglass flexed, an he was like "wow, that hasnt happened before!" and played some lil john... his subs started bottoming out and i laughed. He was like wtf is that noise? He was amazed that the subs he bought that were supposed to be 750 watt subs were getting owned by an amp which is rated from alpine for 75w per channel at 4 ohms, 150w rms bridged, which is how we had it.

So in short, 2 750w subs, 1500w max total power handling... owned by 150w rms rated power.

Alpine > Audiobling

ive handled a few differant lower level one's rated 900w rms and 1100w rms.....each one got loud at rated power but the cone was insanely hot....low quality......thier class d older amps such as this over price shit http://cgi.ebay.com/Audiobahn-1200-watt-amp-and-2-1500-watt-subs-w-box_W0QQitemZ130011538158QQihZ003QQcategoryZ64571QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem was the worst.....horribly ove rrated and could cook food off of it......

my lanzar 1200d did circles around that audiobahn amp....i wanna say it was a aw1500hct or something.....dont remember.... it sucked though....

2 12'' KICKER CVX VS 2 12 Audiobahn AW1208T WHICH ONE WOULD WIN

I think the bahn would win a beauty contest. Unless the person appreciated high quality steel and not excessive chrome
