I haven't heard much bad about their products. THere were a couple of guys around Waco that were winning comps with even some of their lower end stuff. What I heard sounded great. I just bought an Audiobahn Aw100s but haven't been able to put it in my car yet.

I have had nothing but bad experiences with them. My friend, against my advice, bought some stuff, and he got into a minor fender bender, and one of the magnets from the subs fell off. Then his front right tweeter would go out. Every time he'd get something replaced, something else would go out. He payed too much too.

their subs are great when u have enough to power them. i think that 1 12" audiobahn sub neeeds like 600rms compared to a JL audio 12" sub that needs 250rms. so u would 1200 watts to push 2 12" audiobahns where u can push 4 12" JL subs with 1200 watts.

For the most part their stuff is good. I won a car audio business, and sell a ton of their stuff. I have six of their speakers in my T/A and I love them. If any of you guys want them drop me a line, I'll give you 10% off for driving a third-gen F-body!

I have to agree, but it's your choice and you'll see. I didn't want to tell you I told you so, but just wait. I don't think that I'll be the only one.

I have a audiobahn a2400in my firebird and a aw1200 sub in my s10 I only have a 300 watt jensen amp to in and I hit nearly 140db. The carrier I bought from stopped carrying them because they won't hold the power they say they will and had too many blown subs.

1987 Firebird 2.8 more show than go. Still turns over 10' tires though.
