New member Username: BigwavedavePost Number: 2 Registered: Sep-04 | Right now I have a real old system. 2 MTX 5000 12" subs in a sealed box (maybe 1.0 cubic ft each)powered by a MTX 2150X amp (not sure how many watts/ channel). I want to replace them with a single AW1206T (Audiobahn Flame Q 12") in a small sealed box powered by a A8002T or A8000T amp (Audiobahn amp 800x1 @ 1 ohm). Just wondering, with that information could anyone tell me whether the new single sub will hit harder than my 2 old ones? |

Subs are about the same, the MTX's are slightly better, though. The Audiobahn subs sound like crap, and gobble power with little output in return. I could name a ton of of 300W-400W RMS subs that'll outdo that sub in output, and sound better doing it. What's your budget? |

New member Username: BigwavedavePost Number: 3 Registered: Sep-04 | Im looking to spend up to $300 per sub (not sure if I'm going to get 1 or 2) and maybe around $400 for an amp. I like sealed enclosures and hard hitting bass. I Actually like the setup I have now, it isnt half bad and sounds pretty good, howerver. My amp is kind of on the fritz. Was looking for something with a little more spl maybe. Just curious, I have read some good stuff about audiobahn, and some bad stuff, whats the real story? |

Bronze Member Username: A3formePost Number: 80 Registered: Sep-04 | Some of the biggest fans of Audiobahn, should I say, most of them are young kids that haven't heard a real system. They think they look "cool". Audiobahn does get loud, but requires a huge amount of power doing it. The SQ quality is not even mediocre. Jonathan had an unbelievable 70% return rate in his shop of Audibahn products. Not to mention a rep came to my bro-in-laws shop, Within 2 minutes of their demo he asked the dude to leave and told him his stuff was crap (wish I could have been there). LOL. Ask just about anyone on here, they will tell you the same thing |
