They are American Pro. I hooked them up to a crappy amp that I borrowed and they were pretty loud so I am thinking when I get my 300s, they will be LOUD!

Install them upside down. It will look super cool, or use the plexi box. Show those bad boys off!

Sub's with 'specs' like that scream Jenson, Boss, Pyramid, Audiobahn and other flea market brands. While they aren't crap, they aren't all that great. But maybe yours will be good.

Hey if it does what you want it to, what more is there to ask for.

hmm i never knew audiobahn was a flea market brand. i guess you learn something new everyday. Maybe it's just you and that you have had bad experience with audiobahn subs, but from what i have heard(literally) and seen they are some mighty fine subs.

Yes, they are flea market, entry level, may get what you pay for, equipment.

I had the ABC series components, 2 tweeters and 1 mid later I got fed up with their crap. I have an AW1200 and it gets decently loud and sounds like crap getting there (extremely sloppy). My friend also has/had the ABC comp. set, he also went through a mid and a couple tweets. Their amps are alright, they get the job done. He also had the dreaded '99 series Alum subs, got them replaced and the new ones haven't broke, but still are anything but impressive.

If you get them wholesale, you get decent equip for the money, you pay retail for them....


But hey, just my opinion and experiances with them.....
