Bronze Member Username: VipersbymsPost Number: 69 Registered: Apr-04 | you need new subs and amp, dont go near audiobahn |

Bronze Member Username: IllfadedPost Number: 35 Registered: Apr-04 | if you have the money then sure why not buy audio bahn.. but if u have a tight budget get something else.. the only way i get audio bahn is if i know someone that works there and get em for cheap |

New member Username: Blingg23Post Number: 4 Registered: Apr-04 | but are they good... i just want somthing that looks good, some chrome, and is reliable.. i was also thinking some (2)sony XSL121P5'S and a amp that matches like PYLE :X |
|
Bronze Member Username: VipersbymsPost Number: 70 Registered: Apr-04 | no audiobahn is NOT good. wow, "i just want somthing that looks good, some chrome"...thats why they're chrome!!!! people will say, "hey they look nice" then spend the money and buy them. they require too much power, so you have to spend a lot more than a usual sub, just so they can sound like crap. they sound terrible and they dont hold up. Sony is even worse. pyle is somethin you would buy at a neighborhood yard sale from someone who bought it from a flea market. 12" Kicker Comp VR's can be picked up for $150 shipped on ebay, or about $200 or a little more at the right online store. a nice kicker kx800.1 would compliment them nicely. but thats a little expensive so an mtx 801D wouldnt be bad either. some amp companies to look at: JL (more expensive though) Kicker JBL MTX |

Bronze Member Username: Pat_lTucson, AZ USA Post Number: 30 Registered: Apr-04 | Stay away from Audiobahn. It sucks. Thats there selling point for looks and nothing else. Stay away stay away! |

esuji Unregistered guest | I don't even really like the looks, but I bought an Audiobahn amp anyhow. It had the highest power rating (wattRMS/$), and the lowest distortion (THD%) out of all the main brands on the market?? Is there something I am missing?? |
|
Silver Member Username: Its_bacon12Post Number: 516 Registered: Dec-03 | it could be clipped power - if it says it puts out 1000w rms and has a 40 amp fuse, you will only get about 400 clean watts of power (with a class D amp) and about 250 watts clean with A/B amp - the rest of the 'power' is really just higher DC voltage levels and that can completely ruin your sub btw, RMS and THD are only 2 of many many things you look at.. look at brand, fuses, THD, RMS power at different loads, etc... |
|
Unregistered guest | i have 2 audiobahn 12s rated @ 550 rms with an audiobahn 8000t mono amp. they hit pretty hard, but are not sq subs. i am happy with them but am upgrading to 2 kicker sx 12s, with four kicker kx1250.1 amps. now that i have the money to get this system, so much for hawaii lol. but for the low buck audiobahn is pretty good, nothing bad to say about them from me. |
|
Gold Member Username: GlasswolfNorthWest, Michigan USA Post Number: 2599 Registered: Dec-03 | a lot of specs like THD are measured in different ways, and are misleading specs to go by. Honestly anything with a THD less than 10% is going to sound the same in a car anyway, as far as the distortion itself is concerned. |

Kenny Unregistered guest | I have a Pioneer DEH-P6500 head unit and Pioneer TS-A6980R 6x9s. I also just bought a pair of 10 inch Audiobahn AW102T subs despite bad reviews.

They are rated at 450 watss RMS. |

Anonymous | I've seen Audiobahn put up against other systems, and saw their faces after they've been disgraced. Also, a couple of guys from my town kept blowing subs after a while, their stuff is overrated. They'll do if you're on a TIGHT budget, but they can't hold their weight in gold against respectable companies (i.e. JL Audio, Adire Audio, ID, Elemental Designs, etc.) |

Anonymous | audiobahn makes a mono amp the 1300hct which is pretty good ebay has it for around 350- 400 and it pushes 1200 watts rockford makes a good amp too if you don't want to spend a whole lot of money |

New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 1 Registered: May-04 | well i have a question I just let a freind talk me into buying a amp made by audiobahn Im trying to find a good set of subs to put on it what would yall suggest? the amp is a A2150HCT audiobahn |
|
Anonymous | it depends on what you want to spend there are lots of good subs out there just stay away from walmart when your buying them that amp will push just about any pair of subs you want to put on it |
|
New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 2 Registered: May-04 | well in between the last few mins a freind stoped by and we hooked it to his subs he had 2 10 audiobahn aw1051t in his truck in a downfire box and we hooked it up and his speakers claimed to be 300 wats RMS and it blew one of them up and it didn`t realy hit like i thought it would . we hooked it up just like the audiobahn instructions that came with the amp . |
|
New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 3 Registered: May-04 | we wired it for @2 ohm`s .som it would push 300 RMS WATTS X 2. What do you think |
|
Anonymous | it's one ohm stable so you ca bridge it and drop it down to get 1200 watts i've got the same subs 3 and i havent had any trouble i've got about 1200 watts hooked to them . the only thing i can think of is if the box had too much air space my speakers are in a box that is 0.5 cubes just enough space for the speaker. to much air space can cause the subs to beat themselves wich could cause them to blow or you might want to check your x- over hz it should be set between 80-100 hz how long did it take to blow them |
|
New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 4 Registered: May-04 | well it took about to mins for them to blow we took the screws out of the speaker that held the speaker in the box and smoke just bolied out of the box. |
|
New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 5 Registered: May-04 | so if i bridge this amp it will drop to 1200 watts 2 ohm or will it be 1200 watts @ 1ohm will 300 rms watts 2 ohms woofers hold that much watts cause it think the speaker that blow. it melted the coil and made the speaker stick cause the cone and everything is intact |
|
Anonymous | 1200 watts at 1 ohm but you have to wire your speakers to mak the amp drop down that low but if you were going with those tens you don't have to bridge itjust make sure you have a good box use the instructions that came with the speakers not the amp cause the amp is very underrated it pushes more power then it says |
|
New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 6 Registered: May-04 | thats very helpful ther is still alot of space just like you said behind the speaker like you. my box is air tight. Some of my freinds have took cotton and like foam and packed their box would help. |
|
Anonymous | yes stuffing your box will help but its better if you just have a smaller box either way you will tell a differnce i would try a half a bag of poly fill and go from there if it sounds like it could use more add it |

New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 7 Registered: May-04 | when you wired your subs up how did you wire them down cause my freind doesn`t have his manual anymore i know you said you had three of the same woofers as my freind how would you wire up duals . for this amp if it was yours |

Anonymous | jussme it should be a good system but you might want alittle more power then the 8002t might have just in case of upgrade but it should do well on those 12's any of the 12's will be okay they have the same power rating it's just preference |

New member Username: SkullreloadDoddsville, Ms Post Number: 8 Registered: May-04 | hey man its me again i hooked everything up just like you said to 2 of the same speakers and wired the speakers to 2 ohm operation i put some poly stuffing and tryed them and the just aren`t hitting . i took out the stuffing and it sounded better without the poly. do I need better speakers . or do i need to get a different amp and also if my amp is a A2159hctaudiobahn amp which it is. shouldn`t it hit harder than 300 watt 2ohm mono amp . even if my amp is 1200 watts stereo and i bridge it down to mono 2ohm it should be beating it asz off. and i mean beating three times as hard as a 300 watt 2 ohm |

Anonymous | there must be something wrong with one of the if you know someone who has some different speakers to test you amp on that way you'll know if it's your amp or the speakers also just try hooking your speakers up just the normal way pos,neg on one side and see what that does |

new system Unregistered guest | I got a good deal on Audiobahn 121t subs, I prefer to use an MTX amp. How many watts do I need |
|
Unregistered guest | Everybody will have their choice of brands but I have had 2 complete Audiobahn systems now and I love them. The one I have in my car now is 1 AWT15Q, 1 A18001DT amp with the gain turned 1/4 of the way up (this amp had a lot of power), 1 Audiobahn 5 farid capacitor. Also I have the bass on my head unit turned all the way down. Three weeks ago I went to a SPL comp. and hit 144.9db. This amp could easily power another 1 or 2 of these subs. That is my next step if I decide to lose my back seat and build a wall. I have never had any problems with any of my Audiobahn products. |

Anonymous | you could have any were between 500-1200 watt amp it's better to have a little more power than not enough |

jack rabbit Unregistered guest | you fellas dont know jack!!!!! |

Bronze Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 34 Registered: May-04 | Gain isn't a volume knob, Brandon. It sets the amp's sensitivity to the head unit's preamp output. It has nothing to do w/ the amp's power. |

Bronze Member Username: SouthernrebelLouisiana USA Post Number: 76 Registered: Mar-04 | Brandon....i have a question for you... what kind of systems did you compete against??? sony, dhd, volfenhag, and other audiobahn??? lol put your system up against a quality one and then you will see the difference....not just something like an L715 in some guys tahoe, but a system that is well installed! good installs make a huge difference! ...all i have to say is that all of us that "hate" audiobahn on this board have heard more than just simple everyday systems...(everyday stuff like a pair of compvr 12's) we have worked with may different brands and just find that audiobahn is little more CROME!!! if you like audiobahn ...thats ok, but for the same price or cheaper you could build a system that would have more SPL and a lot better SQ. i just find that audiobahn is a waste of time and money.....if your buyint, buy something that will last and sound good! |
|
Anonymous | i do custom installs and i can tell you audiobahn is as good as any other stuff out there it jus depends which type of brand you get everyone has there cheap stuff and then they have their high end stuff so unless your buying from walmart or a flea market you can have a damn good system no matter what you got even with audiobahn. by the way i installed 3 10 inch audiobahn alum. in a blazerand it blew away another install i did that had 4 alpine subs |

whatever Unregistered guest | whatever. ANy audiobahn I have seen just plain sucked. |

RLR Unregistered guest | Hey guys are you forgetting that the subs and the amps are not the only thing into a system. My cousin is a professional car audio expert and he built me a box and hooked up all the equipment. My old system just had plain old house speaker wires connected to it. when he hooked it up he put the coorect gauge wire and made the box really cool to get that deap thumping you like. So before we go judging other people systems just rember the wiring the box and power and alot more stuff goes into a good system than just a name. |

In this case, the original post, which is what this thread is about, is in regards to audiobahn subs and an amp, neither of which is a very good product. I don't care how good the install of the stuff is. I'm happy your brother was able to properly install whatever you have. I'm sorry it was such a ghetto install to begin with that he had to fix the "old house speaker wire" job in the first place. Yeah the install is a vital part of any system, as is the design, but the equipment you choose is just as vital, too. |

|
Bronze Member Username: RswanPost Number: 81 Registered: Apr-04 | you can put them in any enclouse you want. since you have a z car your best bet is a small sealed enclouse to minimize box space. sealed will give you tight clean bass. ported will be loud boomy bass. i would go with tight clean bass. like other people also said jl's arent cheap speakers so if you find some that are really cheap they probably have defects. |
|
wellsg2001 Unregistered guest | Thanks for the help. It makes sense now that someone has explained it somewhat. One last question, should I look for something with sealed plexiglass or just a seeled box? |

That's why we've offered you tons upon tons of subjective data proving why Audiobahn is crap compared to all the hype it gets. I mean, it's better than Sony, but you guys try to push it WAY above it's league, my shop used to carry them, TRUST me, it's not even close to the league of JL, Adire Audio, Kicker, Dynaudio, Diamond Audio, etc. If you ever upgrade or get some money I'll recommend a system for you, then after you install it you can post all over this forum and tell people how much better it sounds than Audiobahn. |

Boy, James, you sure are smart, I'm glad you were smart enough to pick that up. I mean, what do I know about Car Audio? I just own a shop that made the mistake of carrying Audiobahn for a couple months, it's no match for the expertise you've gotten from listening to them in your car. Why get MECP status, I can just value your expert opinion and just buy all Audioblah from now on. Tell me, just how many different systems have you had? I mean, can you give us a comparison, like what your Audiobahns sound better than, or why they're so good? I think you're just pissed because we rag on your stuff so much. If you're happy with it, be happy with it, but keep in mind you're one of the very few fortunate people who has an Audiobahn sub and Boss amp that actually lasted, we recommend against them because most people aren't so fortunate.

I have a friend who has another neon the same as mine with identical systems, head decks, ( sony 52x4 cd players), both of us have 2 mono 900 rms(at 2 ohm), class d amps (same brand), two rockford 1 farad caps, both have 16ft of 4 gauge power, and have our grounds run the same. The only dif is the subs we have in our boxes. I have the audiobahns, he has 2 jl audio. not sure which ones W?. But mine hit quite a bit harder. To find out how much we had them metered. His hit 140.2db, and mine hit 145.7db, on our best runs. But the one thing we noticed was the dif in SQ. His sounds a quite a bit better than mine does. Nice clear sound. but my subs are made for spl, not SQ. So say what you want about audiobahn, The stats don't lie they must be pretty good to out pound jl, as we all know jl makes some of the best stuff on the market. |

They aren't at all designed for SPL. SPL alone is meaningless in my opinion. If all I want is loud, I can just sit in the car and scream for a few minutes. I thank you for proving a point we've been making though. When audiobahn subs get loud, they sound like p00p. hey I just heard the Neon is the least stolen car in America right now. You should feel lucky! You could park it with the keys in it and probably never get it stolen.. haha Be glad it's not a 90's Camry. those ranked first place for theft. |

New member Username: Kings8723Post Number: 1 Registered: Jul-04 | I just bought a 12" Audiobahn Alum12Q sub rated at 1000watts rms and 2000 watts peak power. Could this be the actual rating of the sub or were all the websites lying to me? Also can someone recomend a amp i could use for this 1 12" sub? |

Anonymous | to all you haters i had had JL/rockford/alpine/kenwood/kicker and my audiobahn gear sounds great im talking exp here JL audio isnt that great i blew 2 12s in 1 week. |

big pimpin Unregistered guest | Audiobahn Amps are great. Their subs are questionable. |
|
a.j. Unregistered guest | so audiobahn is not a good thing to buy? I have a little system... some low-end infinity 12s(1230watt, yeah right) and had a crappy sony 760 watt garbage amp that blew up...and i want to buy a decent some-what powerful amp for around $230 (i'm not made of money) if not that inexpensive audiobahn...what would be the best thing i could get for the $? |

Bronze Member Username: CaraudiofngHouston, TX Post Number: 21 Registered: Aug-04 | You could go with the MTX 421D for $209 http://www.acaraudio.com/product_info.php?cPath=22_36&products_id=648 Or A Kicker KX400.1 (400wX1 @ 2ohm) for $219 shipping included http://www.discountave.net/kxki1chcaram.html Or PHOENIX GOLD OCTANE-R (500w x1 @ 2ohm) for $235.95 http://www.phoenixgold.com/2004/octane-ramps.html Any of these could work for you. Don't know much about your previous amp, but these are all mono sub amps. so you need to make sure your set up is wired like the top picture in the link below. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wi ring.html?subs=2&impedance=SVC4 The left side of the picture being the positive and negative leads of the amp. There are just some I came up with in your price range. Good luck. FNG |
