I beleive those are the correct model numbers. Well anyway the JBLs were 100w rms and if I'm correct on the right on the correct model here are the specs of the Audiobahns

Pawnshop Retail (brand new orders)

AW1000Q
Magnet 120 oz.
RMS 600w
Peak 1200w
Frequency Responce 23-500
Effciency 91.1db
Voice Coil 2.5" Dual 4 ohms
Operation 2 or 8 Ohms
Mounting depth 5"

I'll let ya know if they are any louder after I install them.

Anyone think these are better then the Alpine Type Rs ?

i'd take a type-r over any audiobahn product anyday....

Why?

Sounddomain rated mine pretty well O.o

What about the Audiobahn Immortals? Quad 2 Ohm or Dual 2 Ohm voice coil, 2000w RMS not any better then a type r ?

audiobahn sucks, it is just that simple. i would put money that NO audiobahn product will hold 1500wrms, even if it is rated to 2000Wrms.

audiobahn **** is STUPID, if you like shiny ****, then get a decent sub chromed.

lol... mmmk


I was at the corner store the other day and I hear this bass as I walk up to the coke section. lol it was so loud the coke racks started to shake. I grabed my coke then went to the front as the driver to the car beat me to the cash register. I asked the dude what kind of speakers he had in his car and lol he said Audiobahn lol told him he shook up my coke.

So if that bass is loud enough to shake the coke racks from outside at a good 60+ feet away then they are good enough for me, I dont even think I'll ever have them up that loud.


People who dont like audiobahn speakers, dont be shy with your coments, I wont be flamed. I'm an open minded person who is pretty hard to tick off so I just want to know why they have a bad rep? I mean... have you had some bad experiences with them? if so I would love to hear about that. If you just herd from another person that they arnt so great and you decided to agree without hearing the speakers for yourself then ....... more power to ya bud, have fun with that.

if you are going to get audiobahn get the immortals and then get sum huge power to throw at them..they can take a beating!!

get some JBL 1200's for amps and you'll be loud! real loud!....and thats what matters, right

i wrote a long *** post, and then it didnt go through.

this is the concise version.

you can have two of these three.
1.good price
2.good quality
3.fancy appearance

good luck on getting all three.

audiobahn is crap, both their speakers and their amps are very overrated, and they SOUND (yes, sound) like crap.

i have heard good systems that used many many different products, some of them i wouldnt recommend no matter what the budget.

basically, if you take one system as an example of a brand, speaker's, or amp's quality, then you are very naive.


adam

I was asking the dude at Ikesound about those subs and he told me not to get them. He said that they were garbage.

Just some food for thought

I disagree guys. Audiobahn's Subs, they're Flame Q's anyway are very high quality bass sound subs. They sound very good when used with the exact dimensions for enclosures. If they are used with excessive power, or incorrect dimensions on the enclosure, they don't sound good. You need to have Audiobahns in the correct environment, and when they are, they are superb subs.

you are wrong.

I agree, I like my audiobahns.

I just cut two 3" port holes in my box's top and set one sub to the downfire position then reversed the polarity on it. At a low volume level the subs were cranking out allot of bass, I bought some pcv tubes for like 2 bucks each and put a rubber seal on the end to see what it would sound like, foot long tube, umm... bad Idea, it cheapened the bass so I just now have two holes in the top of my box. The problem is my amp keeps popping its fuse. lol yea its that cheap legacy amp. Both the subs and amp say 2ohm stable but.... maybe I'm doing something wrong here, this is how I have everything wired...

<font color=red>and Please! no Child like comments like "its because your amp sucks!" I mean.. most of you who really know what you are talking about I would assume that you are not a child. The people who do have negative flamer comments, those I will assume are comments from children who really don’t know their technical side of audio equipment anyway, so those will be reported and ignored.</font>

On each DVC sub I have a + and - wired together, the remaining +&+, -&- are bridged at the amp wired accordingly, this causes very low and loud bass, then at a higher volume will cause the fuse to blow. I removed the bridge setup and hooked each sub to its own channel, this way it sounds quiet and does not blow the fuse. The fuse is 15A. Sure I know the amp may not be handling the speaker or bridge setup very well but I want to know the technical reason why, maybe I already do know, maybe it just says it can handle 2ohms but cannot perform. Maybe these subs are just to much for the legacy amp. 600w RMS might be trying to pull to much.

Certain amps are not stable at ?? ohm when they hit certain frequencys. Alot of JBL amps that say they are 1ohm stable are not 1 ohm stable when they really start pushing. Yes, you do have a crappy amp. I am guessing that it has the same problem. Try hooking them up at 2 or 4 ohm(which ever you can) and see if it does the same thing. A 15amp fuse is not what a "600 watt" amp should have. But again, it is a legacy. I am not trying to sound like a child, but that amp is your problem. Do you have a buddy that you can borrow an amp from? a good amp? Or even take it to a shop and get them to hook up an amp that you are concidering.....

Brian

Well if my Mom's boyfriend still has this amp at his shop I can trade him out or just get the amp for web site design favors that I do for him. Not sure the power ratting for that amp, I think either 300rms or peak, not sure. Its a good brand though, Rockford Fosgate.

Yea I would agree the amp is the problem. Its probably only 2 ohm stable on lower wattage speakers, such as the JBLs that I had in there before. 100W rms to 600w rms looks like it could be the problem, speakers are just trying to pull more then the amp has huh?

speakers dont PULL power, they hold power, they cant hold it if it isnt there. as long as there isnt something physically wrong with the subwoofers,(oh, heaven forbid), then the amp or your installation is the problem.

BTW, your actual wattage coming out of that amp is probably somewhere in the area of <125w rms.


adam

i hear alot of bad talking about audiobahn... but ive had one bandpass box that was pretty kick *** for 170 bucks and it looked very sharp and one custon sealed box with two 10 inche flame q's all on the A2301Q ... i mean how can they suck if u have the correct set up.. u no wut your buying.. why buy it then knock it?... look at the numbers.... if your numbers match on your amp output to your speaker you WILL get the best sound u can get for what u have bought... for the best results with audiobahn .. you HAVE to use a audiobahn amp and subs... i mean sumone may say that they work better with others.. i havent tried n e thing else just because my bass is soo great in my car... most people that bad talk audiobahn are just band wagoners .... im not knocking any one on this forum.. im knocking sum of my friends that i no ... and sum other tuff guys... which arent on this forum.... i hate when people say things with out knowledge to back it up.... to get a truthful answer.... u have to play with different equiptment and make a descion for yourself.. u cant knock something u your never owned or tried... http://63.74.15.55/Audiobahn/a2301q.htm

mistake above..... i have the A3201Q....http://63.74.15.55/Audiobahn/a3201q.htm

Oh, then I guess because I have the 1000Q's in my car, and they happen to put out the most accurate and realistic-sounding bass I've ever heard in a car stereo, I must be an idiot.............just like you.
(some people just don't know)

Some people just get all pissed and take it personal because you prefer a diff brand then they do.

thanx for callin me an idiot?

to some people certain brands will sound good and to others not. its just a matter of preference. no need to fight over it. me personally i like kicker. never heard anythign from audiobahn so i cant really comment but all the kicker stuff i have heard has been top notch. some people might not aggree but its just two different people with different opinions.

Not you!!!!!!!!!!

oo ok... sumtimes these forums get hectic with cross comments... sorry for my assumption... and yea i agree... kickers are very nice...

ok my opinion on the audiobahns is not that great i sold jbl and audiobahn at the same store, auduiobahn is nice looking for a show car, jbl is alot more plain looking, jbl rarely ever comes back for warranty, audiobahn is a different story, we were lucky if they made it out of its without damage or being defective!!! put a auidiobahn sub and a jbl sub that retail for the same and there is no comparision, jbl kills them, alot cleaner and tighter, audiobahn to me is just sloppy and poorly made, don't even get me started on there amps.....jbl 's warranty surpases audiobahn , audiobahn- manafactures defect, they have to be sent in to see if it will be covered, which they rarely cover!!! Jbl right over the counter, blow your amp = heres your new one, same with there subs,etc

I hear alot of this when it comes to audio bahn. Also look at how long jbl has been around.

i guess im just pissed i bought audiobahns and not jbls...... HAHA... stupid me... oh well maybe ill find sum sucker 16 year old to get them for double wut i paid.... lol

They are kinda touchy. Must be in the right-sized box and have enough power. You need to hear them that way first. If someone told you your car sucked, would you get rid of it?

he11 no... i dont no man... forget the whole sub woofer thing... this is pointless... no point in talkin about sumthing if its just a bunch of random opinions

Man thats all you ever get on here, peoples random opinions

Well, that is kinda the idea behind having a message board.

audiobahns are known for having good SPL capabilities but not too much SQ...they often dont handle rated power, although im not quite as familiar with their new lineup

i fiddled around with a friends malibu with 4 aluminum 12s in it, and was quite impressed. I say if you're gunna go audiobahn get the aluminums...they're a good deal

i have a pair of audiobahn awt10x subs and they pound like no other. their more for spl then music but sound great on bass cds and rap music

jl w7 die

Your sig pic reminds me of that day I was to drunk to drive and I left my car at a friends house then caught a ride with someone else lol. I was all like.. uuhhggg... lol

Good to see that there are some others that like audiobahn. I know there are alot out there who have fun with taking their opinions further then needed making you tired of reading the posts but... Just glad to see there are some out there that like them. Mine are currently just sitting up in my house not being used because I still dont have an amp that will work with them. Blew the money on a cell phone instead. Freaking 500 deposite... there goes my amp money. Well I was talking to a cable guy who has an amp that he might sell for 300. Bridgable up to 1200 watts or so he says. Dude also said he would let me hook it up, try it and see what I thought before buying it. Sounds cool to me. I'll try to get the brand and specs on here when I can. laaaterz ppl.

hey redbird_400 you said you have some audiobahn subs?
what model do you have and size ?
audionahn rocks phoenixgold does to

Get the Audiobahns! I bought two and I never looked back. Actually I'm underpowering them a ton and they sound great! (500w max to each)
