Audiobahn

Another suggestion for a good sounding sub for around a 100 bucks is the kicker comp vr. You can buy them off ebay for problably a little over 100 but they are nice. I had 2 10 inch ones off of a 600 watt kenwood amp in the back of a standard cab chevy pickup and they sounded pretty good. If you are on a real budget JBL makes a 12 inch sub and you can normally pick them up 2 for 1 at you local circut city or crutchfield. I had a pair of these 12's in the back of a camaro on a free air baffle with 2 600 watt kenwood amps and it got pretty loud considering that both cost me 100 bucks. There are many others to choose from but I figured I would share my personal experience.

donkason is right...the compVRs were a very nice sounding sub considering the price and competition level they were in... however, IMO the new compVRs have lost some of their appeal, both in cosmetics and SQ...if you can get last years compVRs, they were not bad at all, but I just dont like the latest rendition of the line...

the distortion is like .02 or .01- referring to the distortion level of the amp He drove to canada and his fosgate amp running to his speakers shut off after 6 hours and his audiobahn was still playing- his amp was installed perfectly it's just that it overheated and the fosgate couldn't take it and the audiobahn wasn't even near over heated especially since it has dual cooling fans That one sub is best sounding sub I've ever heard and I've heard them all- actually I have heard most of those except for the velodynes and none of them compared when I sound tested them I hear JL's w3(supposedly the best on the market) - I meant to say the w7 and i sound tested them with the audiobahn together and the audiobahn was deffinitely supperior and it was in a non-ported box A plus side with the audiobahn is that you get a warranty that if you blow your sub(even if it is your fault)they will replace it for free - no other company offers this and they will replace it no matter how many times and if you blow a sub three times you are just an idiot It seems that you may not know what you are talking about and I see you didn't say anything about the component speakers so I'm guessing you may have been impressed by them

Well i have never heard the Audiobahns personaly and from what i've always seen here plus the local installers in my area I will never will. Always get the same reaction, junk that sounds like crap. Think they are some of the ugliest subs out there, throw some chrome and pretty flame design on there to appeal to the younger generation who, no offense, are easily impressed with any sub that that can get loud and be heard from "miles" away. Now phthalo, you should pay more attention to the guys on here cause you will learn alot from them and come down off your high horse you seem to be riding. I like how you compare a RF amp with NO cooling fans against one that has them and gripe about it overheating, maybe if he put the RF in a place where it could breathe he wouldn't have such problems out of it. As for your warranty crap, how long does that last?? 1 yr, 2 yrs?? Diamond's have it for 3 yrs, do your homework before you come on here talking trash to people who know a lil bit more than you do. Now, one last note, the Audiobahns may be the best sounding to you, i won't knock that since everyone will pick something different that sounds best to them. Everyone has their personal taste of music and sound, everyone wants things to sound the way THEY want it to. So if you are a diehard Audiobahn fan then go for it. Just like im a diehard fan for Diamond Audio. Just dont get all offensive when someone speaks there opinion on a certain brand sub or speaker, opinions are what alot of people come here to get and everyone has the right to have theirs.
