no dont get them audiobahn sounds liek complete sh!t they get loud but sound horrible doing so typwe r's would be fine but they dont compare to audiobahn and i think the type r's are cheaper also which there better so this should be a easy buy lol

yea i tried not laughing when he compared the r's to audiobauns..and with the 2 12" type r's he pointed out a west coast custom 800 watt amp and i asked about a box to go in my trunk ( nothing special just a carpeted box ) and he quoted me at 300 dollars. going in a 95 lumina..vented box 1 port

ive worked with em before ... they dont sound bad ...by any means .. but no kicker sub has more then subpar sq ... but in the right enclosure .. powered correctly they can be decent sounding woofers ...

but for the price i would invest in some AA assassins ... much better all around sub for the money ... also for 380 dollars u can 1 driver that with a good box that will dominate those subs

pretty much, unless you get some sh1tty audioburn or L5/L7 sub anything will sound better.

ya i'd stick with the type r's, or look into some assassins, cvr's, CV v-max, something along those lines.
