New Audiobahn Subs?

[Anonymous 10+ year member]

I was looking at the new High Excursion Series 15's i am wondering if they are any better than the older High Excursion Subs. Because i had two 1500Q's on a 1200 watt Viper sealed and fried the voice coils, so i was just wondering if they have improved the quality of the woofers. Because i can get them pretty cheap and i saw a video on ROE of 4 12's on a JBL 1200 and they were flexing the hell out of the roof and the back hatch window.

I would stay away from the Audiobahn, going from one Audiobahn to another is no upgrade whatsoever.

audiobahn is crap. Get something else.

Those 4 12"s off that amp might have been flexing the sh it out of the roof but probably only lasted a few mins. Then the shut the video off before it went "KABOOM".

thats all they do is rattle shit...they sound terrible a cupple of them may get decently loud but nothing worth buying....i'd look into somethin like REs, DDs, Soundspinter, hell i would never suggest this to anyone considering im not on the bandwagon but i'd choose type r over them

yes, and when you buy the new subs you can grab one of those spikes and impale yourself with it

Another name for this could be Audiojunk.

Gotta love the idiots runnin their mouths....

Audiobahn is a decent company, there lowerend stuff is junk but some of the higher end ones are fairly decent and are able to put up decent numbers SPL wise. Their SQ is still questionable but you realy shouldnt be lookin at Abahn when your lookin for SQ...SPL they can excell at, as can any sub (ex: type R) but its all in the install.

So is Thump and Pyle but all in all they are still junk unless you are getting them for free. They do look good though.

It's to each his own. If you like the sound of the AW1500's then go ahead and get them. They just aren't worth paying retail for IMO. They are not necessarily junk, they can get loud (my aw1206t did) but they do sound like *** yes.

I'm proud to be an idiot in this case. Audiobahn sucks in more than just their SPL or SQ output. You obviously don't know.

Meaning what you put IN the install matters..

HAHAH!! I've even seen people compare the Audiobahn flame series to the JL W7s. You'd be surprised at what you see out there.
