audiobahn subs

anyone have any opinion on the audiobahn flame subs-aw1008t or awes10p read good reviews for quick tight bass. otherwise are there any other comparable subs. i know these are pretty expensive but looking into upgrading system. any advice on an amp that would power something like this adequately? any response appreciated. thanks

I have a buddy who has those subs. 2 10's and they poound like a mutha. He has a Precision Power 1000 watt amp i believe. If your looking at spending a good chunk of money I think you'd be better off getting something a lil different. Look into some higher end subs.

he has the awes10p.

do they have clean crisp bass, or is it all rumble? i am planning on one 10". thanks

imo read 97neons thread on the  subs but my cuz has one an never had any probs wit it. an it was used so. it your choice.

neon had some wicked bad luck with those guys, but I am just throwing in my opinion. Anyone can have ANY product and have some form of bad luck. I have had my Audiobahn subs for a few months now (although they are not the ones mentioned) and have not had any problem as of yet. They sound "tight" and clear and I would reccomend them to anyone. Sorry neon.

They sound pretty tight, although I have heard 10's that were tighter. My buddy has three 12 inch type r's and the audiobahn 10's sound about as loud as those do. I think my buddy doesnt have enough power though. Dont know specs though. Even still, if your willing to spend the money I would probably look for something a little higher end.

Audiobahns are great for the $$$, Ive had zero problems w their subs and I have the cheapest (1051Q)ones!  They are not the best for SQ, but keep them in a sealed box that's the right size and your ears will be happy!  I got them on ebay for $70 a pair-for that price, nothing can touch them!

In my opinion, Audiobahn is totally for SPL.  I have an audiobahn 12 in my car and the response is not as good as lets say the Alpines I had before.  But, it is really really loud.  I have not heard the 10's before, but they will be better.  But if you are looking for SQ (which it sounds like you are) I would not recommend Audiobahn.  If you are looking for SPL and a little bit of SQ, then I would.  As well, if the price is right you may as well go for it.  I know that Audiobahn sells for extremely cheap on ebay, so if you are willing to go on there, I would recommend doing that.

Hope this helps!

BRING ON THE BOOM!

I agree with bighauns...

I haven't heard ALL models, but i've heard quite a few, and their sound quality isn't the best out there. However, in a good enclosure they give decent quality and loads of SPL.

One 12Inch (Never found out the model) in a ported enclosure powered by a Rockford Fosgate amp, poped my ears inwards inside a car

Wrong advice young grasshopper, go back to square one and do not pass go.

My first quote. And a good one. bighauns, I have a question for you, when you changed the sub form the Alpine to the Audiobahn, did you also change the box. The box will make or break the type of output of the sub. Take for example a generic 1cu.ft. sealed box, take 5 different subs, regardless of the specs or the $ of the subs, you will have 5 totally different sounds. Any salesperson who has the time should try this, you sill learn alot from a simple little experiment like this. Then change the box size and try again, the results will be different again.
