American Bass is a low-end swap-meet level brand.  Some people get good results with them, most do not. 

Please read the forum rules as Ebay links (and a few other outside commercial sales sites) are not allowed here.

American Bass is good mid range products, I have had no failer rate with these products ,mainly the speakers. I have replaced "low end" stuff with there speakers and had good results. Even with customers who abuse their systems.

hey guys thanks for your thoughts. Dyohn you probably  getting mixed up with American Pro as 66sportfury said. I have read reviews on there products American Bass seem to be the best around for car audio.

there = THEIR!
failer? Do you mean failure?

They are mid-range at BEST! Or, if you prefer, we might go as high as "high-end garbage".

dred, if you had alrady done the research, why come and ask? And then, once you DID ask, why not take the advice you were given?

If I had to choose between DYohn and 66sportfury or phil6710's opinions, I promise you I would MUCH sooner accept DYohn's input.

Cheezy, high-distortion, un-damped kraft-paper cones, VERY inexpensive and readily available foam surrounds, these drivers show ZERO innovation. Not even any MENTION of a real-world power capacity, (200 watts for a 1.5 inch voice coil? Shyah...) they seem to ONLY stress "max" power. Red-flag, dudes... R-E-D F-L-A-G.

If I had to type any kind of qualifier for them, it'd have to be this: "They're craptastic!" Be sure to get your cap there, too, 'cause if it's got "American Bass" slathered all over it, it's GOTTA be good, right? "The best around for car audio"? Not even CLOSE, mang...

ok guys thanks for the info. Haemphyst what do you think about eminence mid range speakers are they any good? the 6 inch versions.

Rather than chasing brands that people like and do not like, give me an idea of your budget, and the power you have available, and I'll toss out a few suggestions... :)

We could chase out tails all week long, and we might never arrive at something that you and I both see as acceptable ends.

like i said i have no idea about the mids, most subs and amplifers are good.

the best no.

there,their,them,those who cares, everyone knows what i was trying to say and no my grammer is not perfect.

This guy?

Looks like you've stumbled upon the manufacturer for the American Bass drivers!

Eminence is good for one thing: LOUD. They make very high efficiency drivers for PA systems, they are hardly what I would even hazard decorating with the epitaph "SQ". I guess, from the prices you have been putting up, you wanna stay at less than about 150.00 for the pair?

Look at the plot. That is a window of 5dB!!! FIVE!!! That's NOT what I would call SQ, by ANY stretch of the imagination! True SQ drivers are generally a 1dB window or even smaller! The 6" drivers I have in my doors (Mpyre) plot at one half of one dB! That's an order of magnitude better, just in the frequency response arena. Don't get me started on watefalls, and THD plots...

Hey Haemphyst thanks for you thought about the eminence drivers, so you are saying Eminence is the manufacturer for American Bass driver is that what you are saying buddy?

Well, for that 6 inch mid, anyway...

Am I right on the price point? You still haven't answered me.

ok haemphyst thanks for your input really appreciated it although you can get a lil cruel with your responses lol, its all good buddy. One question out of these 2 frequency respone for 2 different speakers for midrange application which one would you choose:

Speaker 1- Frequency Response 500 Hz- 10Khz

Speaker 2- Frequency Response 78 Hz- 5Khz

anyone could answer which speaker would you choose based on frequency response and why?

Speaker 1 is a midrange, speaker 2 is a woofer.  What are you using it for?
