Audiobahn, 13
Dynamic Audio, ? (never heard of em... couldn't even find 'em online)
Diamond Audio, 2
Zapco, McIntosh, 1
Eclipse, strong 2 to 1
OLD SCHOOL Soundstream, 1
New Soundstream, 3
Sony Xplod, 10
Remember, these are all graded on the 1-6 scale, as specified in the opening post...
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Alphasonik is not the mother of Audiobahn.  It is her in-bred twin sister.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

Audiobahn is the parent company and makes their brand, Aplhasonik, Xsite, Digital Audio, Swiss Audio, and Ichibahn all on the same Chinese assembly lines.  Only the exterior cases and paint jobs are different.  All basic entry-level gear that is IMO over-priced and extremely over-rated.  As an interesting side note, Audiobahn's owner is the younger brother of the owner of the Anaba Group which makes Mobile Authority, Optiview, Ultra Linear, Thump, Visonik, MA Audio, and Clif Designs.  The two companies are very incestuous and share technology, designs, engineering, and money.  In fact, cash from the American "bling bling" crowd who love those chrome-plated flame-embossed Audiobahn woofers has been keeping Anaba alive for about the past three years.  When kids wake up that it's all bling and sounds like ass, both companies may go down.  It can't happen soon enough.
