Audiobahn is cheap crap. Get an eD off GCA instead (http://www.genuinecanadianaudio.com/)

People say audiobahn is cheap crap, but I only had problems with their amps. I have had my audiobahns for the last 3 years and lots of my friends too and subs wise, they are powerfull as hell. They blow out the competition power/$$ wise. I personally love them. They shake the hair on your head if you run them down to 1 ohm on a D class.

I say that people just trust big names cause they eat a bunch of marketing !$%!@#$ the big manufacturers feed them! Might as well join a cult if they are gulable! :barf:

Edit: I have the 700 watt RMS ones. Back then, those were the cheapest ones they had. I am surprised to see only 450 watts RMS on the new ones! I still regret not getting the 2000 watt RMS ones!!!! :banghead:

Audiobahn is cheap crap. The only reason you defend them is because you own them. Perhaps try listening to something like Elemental designs, even ones that are similarly priced and in similar class to your audiobahns, and watch them outperform your subwoofers in any scenario imagineable.

man gimme some kicker solos l7's and we will see whcih sounds better. lol audiobahn looks PIMP but performs crappier than a 5 cent hooker. haha

[BumpinTalon]

Kicker L7s suck too, esp. if you have to pay retail price and get them from Visions. But not as much as Audiobahns.

Even if you get your L7s off of eBay, they are elemental Design's price range and a elemental "K" is louder an cleaner then a L5 and an elemental "O" is louder and cleaner then a L7, both cost the same and elemental comes with a warranty.

I have been an Audiobahn retailer for a year now and i have nothing but positve things to say. Great bang for the buck in there Intake series and entry level subs. And amazing performance in there high end product. Everyone here saying it is cheap crap, how many of you have owned Audiobahn in the past?
I have sold and installed every major brand and some lesser known brands on the market, and as far as i am concerned tey stack up with the best.

I have to agree I just got 2 audiobahn awc10t's they only do 400 rms and i got em hooked up to a jl 500/1 and they pound hard, crisp, and clean, some of the best sounding subs ive owned, i'd say audiobahn has some of the best sound quality around, and the flame gaskets are sick too:thumbsup:

I agree
I got an ED E12O. Hits damn low and sounds awesome. I should've went for the A series but O is good enough for me I guess. I would compare the O to a JL W6V2 or better.

[porker39]

ok thx guys for all the support but im thinking on getting bigger ones b/c i just got my check:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[Harryc8786]

I have their aw 1200Q's and they pound, handle 700W rms and i got 2 for 200 bucks it was a steal. My alpine amp punds them, sure as hell better than my old rockfords...If you need the site mail me cause they 88$ US but i duno how long, 2 after shipping like 204$
