Wow, that's about what, $1000 US?  Yes, you paid full retail plus a bit.  In that case I would definately see if there is a loud speaker repair or re-cone shop in your area. Or, contact these guys (they ship world wide and are a reputable shop) to get an estimate:

Was it the low down dirty dealer that pronounced no warranty or the distributor. I'll call the distributor on Monday for you and see if I can broker a deal. Where are you in Canada dude?

That is absolutly unbelievable. I cant believe that on a 1300 subwoofer they wont warenty it. Although the same is try for the MTX 9500. They dont warrenty it against it blowing but the canadian distributer has decided to warrenty the subwoofers on their own by giving out replacements. This seems just so wrong. How can customers put any faith in a company after hearing a story like this. I have never owned a piece of audiobahn equipment and I can assure you that after hearing this, I never will.

Wow, I just read through this entire thread and it makes me not want to deal with Audiobahn anymore. sh*t, if their gona screw you out of a grand, over something like a sub I'd call the better biz peepz on audiobahn. I own a pair of small audiobahn woofers (actually my girls) and they work kool, but after hearing bout this situation, I'm threw with audiobahn. I feel for you neon, its a shame the audio community has to suffer cuz a bunch of white collard bastards are too cheap to replace a sub that cost them $20 to make in china.

I'm really sorry you're having to go through this.  But yes, this kind of situation is why people like me who've been dealing with audio for years tend to rag about some companies and to recomend others.  It's not always because we sell the brands we promote or because we think the brands we slam are "bad."  It's because we have seen situations like this all too often.  The situation you are in is exactly why I never recomend Audiobahn... nor Sony, Pioneer, Kenwood, Jensen, JVC, Volfenhag, Lanzar, Pyle, Pyramid, Boss, Soundstorm, Legacy, American Audio, Crunch, Profile, Audiovox, etc....

Contact Audiobahn directly.  Write to their corporate headquarters and explain how you feel ripped off.  Be sure to tell them you installed the equipment following the recomendations of their authorized retailer and their published information.  Tell them you communicate with a world-wide car audio enthusiast and installer community on the web and that your story had better have a happy ending if they want this community to ever recomend Audiobahn again.
