Eclipse vs. Audiobahn true Comparison

Alright, I figured it was time to lay out some numbers once and for all. I am by no means trying to prsuade anyone any which way. But I am just putting the #'s and observations I have had in the last couple of months. Everything compared is all withen the same price range so here are the fact as I have seen Vehicle 1.   Mazda b2200 Pickup. (2) Audiobahn 1206t subs 12 inch dual 4 ohm coils Rockford 801s amp.   800x1@4ohm running at 2 ohm load Output=    143.6db in a 3.6cuft box per sub, vented The SQ side is a little lacking but hits extreamly low and full Vehicle 2. 1998 Honda civic Coupe (2) eclipse 7104 subs 10 inch dual 4 ohm coils Memphis HC-50 amp.   800x1@1/2 ohm running at 1/2 ohm output=   141.7db in a 1.75 cuft box per sub, vented The SQ is amazing even in a vented enclosure, it is tight enough for hard rock, and low for Rap.   Will not hit as low as the 12's in last vehicle but running at half the power as the audiobahns Vehicle 3. 1986 Buick GS (2) Treo SS subs 10 inch dual 4 ohm coils Memphis 1500d mono amp 1500x1@2ohm running at 1/2 ohm output= 142.6db in a 1.5cuft box per sub, vented The SQ is good, but not as tight as the Eclipse subs. Will handle frequency changes well in techno.   Will hit slightly lower then the Eclipse subs Vehicle 4. 1996 escort 1 Memphis mojo quad coil sub. 15 inch quad 1 ohm coils Memphis mojo amp 2400x1@2ohm running at 1 ohm output= 144.8db in a 12cuft box, vented semi-wall The SQ does not exist, this is a SPL only sub Will not hit helow 35hz well.    I have provided this comparison to try to shed some light on some brands I have played with, I will add some more as I think of what has been ran around here. Everything is about the same value except the last vehicle where equipment cost is higher.   I would like to see some responses to this on what others have encountered out in the real world testing.2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

Good thread man. Not a great comparison as all the different pairs of subs were put in different cars w/ different amounts of power...still good thread.Dave

I was shocked to see anyone on this forum beside myself that would use audiobahns

I aggree with you I have a audiobahn pre-built bandpass for the wife, no SQ but plenty of SPL coming from itI havent found anyone local with a SPL meter Im sure its not over than 120 but thats loud enough for us

I wouldnt put those sub in the same enclosure make sure you seperate the 2 and would go with more along the lines of 1.5 cu ft...I will take some pics and try to get them to you2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR
