12" Subs: Pioneer or Audiobahn?
I'm going to get a pair of 12" subs, and I would like some opinions on wich to get: This Pioneer TS-W304C
Or this Audiobahn natural sound AW-1251Q
I have used the pioneer model and it is a great sub, but I can get that audiobahn sub cheaper than the pioneer. The fact that has dual voice coil got my atention, and that it handles more power than the pioneer.
I have no experience with audiobahn stuff, but if it is a better sub, I don't mind switching brands.
Is anybody using them or has listened to them?

I have a similar model of that Pioneer sub (TS-W33C) except mine doesn't have the metal cover to help disipate heat.
I loved the way it sounded in the store, and I love the way it sounds in my car. I replaced an MTX Thunder 3000 with it, and it made a HUGE difference.
The Thunder 3000 was the entry level MTX sub, but it cost the same as the Pioneer did, and it had nothing on the Pioneer. After installing the Pioneer, I had an entire new sounding system.
I don't have Audiobahn, and I never have, so I can't say that they're good or bad. But I can tell you that I don't think you'll be upset with the Pioneer.

I went to get the Audiobahn subs yesterday, and gess what, they were sold out 
. So I got a pair of the TS-W304C pioneer ones, and a Rockford Fosgate 400s Punch amp. I just finished the installation and those things really make my car shake.
I had never used RF amps before, and I'm very impressed of the quality of this stuff. The specs says that is rated 400w RMS, but the actual measurements that their test technicians do, sais that this particular amp delivered 417 watts RMS of total power.
The amp even comes with the ellen wrenches to use for the wire hook ups.
Is'nt it great to get more that what you expect instead of less?
IMO Great amp. :hail: RF
