I am needing feedback from those installers/ audioheads that have used both the Audiobahn Intake(A T)Series Amps as well as the Audiobahn Alum.Series Woofers, Alum10Q,12Q,15Q.
I have a couple of clients that I am designing systems around this hardware being provided, and I am looking for some candid performance testimony, good or bad. I am not familiar with this line other than what I have seen from a distance at shows. It's a pretty line to look at, but looks and specs only show me a small part, and not necesssarily the real "truth". Thats where your help is needed.
Thanks for your input!  ------------- elrock-SS

If you have read some previous posts on here about audiobahn equipment you will find out that it dosn't last long and is almost all looks and no performance. Their amps are ok but their power ratings are over rated and you can buy better stuff usually for what you would pay.

their stuff last long
example, one of my customers has a 1300hc amp that has had all of the windows knocked out of it and its been rained on from this dude riding in the rain with windows down ... the amp looks like forty hell but still slams a pair of 15's
the 1300hc is rated at 1200 watts and we have tested it to over 1575 watts rms so yeah, its very underated
i am finding out that people on here have personal agenda's which is stupid on this board ... i will tell you if i have had problems with a product or if its been great .... people get on here and say that something is crap because its not what they have or its not what they sell or they screwed it up because they just dont know what thehell they are doing and then someone reads the crap and buys something else and possible missing out on a good product ... its easy to make up a story about something over the net, not saying this is happening but what i will do is always give my honest opinion everytime

And finally the amps. They all look the same in this particular line, with the "NACA-like" intake duct on top.   ------------- elrock-SS

yo dude, i just got a 18002t to try out for 20 days or so, to push my aw1000x's i was using a profile 800sx california series that i picked up 2 years ago for $130, it is overrated at 600rmsx1, and the bahn is 800rmsx1 which is true power i guess, i hooked em up identical and the audiobahn did outdo the profile but not by much maybe 100 watts, id like to bench test em side by side but anyway it sounds loud though! www.sounddomain.com/id/audiobahn10s

I can understand your frusration FullForce. When people openly bash product that either you sell or use it kinda sucks. I think you saying people have personal agendas on here is mostly false though. Alot of people on here simply talk from personal experience and thats all they have to go on. I personally have never had much experience with Audiobahn, I do however have customers that have had it. The only conclusion I can draw from their experiences is that it is anything but bullet proof. I havent had anyone who has come in and said "Man I love this Audiobahn stuff, it rocks" All I hear is I blew up that Audiobahn "insert sub, amp,etc here" Again. Everything I have seen from them has not impressed me. Also before you say it must be install, thats the first thing I thought, but I personally went over two of the installs and they were all cosher so I have to believe that it was equipment failure. One of the two customers was a kid so you could make the argument that he abused the gear, mabye he did, mabye he didnt I dont know for sure. But when the soccer mom comes in with here caravan that I put a full video system in and she is on her second 4 channel amp and her 3rd mono block I have to start to question the equipment because this lady I do know and I damn sure know she isnt crusing down the street with the volume cranked. I also set up those amps, being the only ones I ever set up, so I know they were done right. So like I said, I can only draw my own conclusions but being as though you are one of the only peole I have heard who has fully supported the stuff, I gotta go with experiences closer to home and say that the stuff is under par. ------------- double-secret reverse-osmosis speaker-cone-induced high-level interference distortion, Its a killer
