Audiobahn sub question
|
New member Username: Little_jimPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-06 | Hey, I was looking at the audiobahn awis12p sub. I see that many people don't like audiobahn but the specs seem good for $200. Has anyone used this sub? I was planning on running two of them but now I think that powering them will break my budget. My goal was to have a hard hitting setup. |

New member Username: Little_jimPost Number: 4 Registered: Apr-06 | I have never had a system before so I think that 4,000wrms would be enough. But like I said I think that powering this setup will break my budget. I started learning more about systems and I think I realized that I might need to get 1 less. |

So if the sub is 2000wrms doesn't it need to be powered with 2000wrms? |

Bronze Member Username: ShmanMichigan United States Post Number: 66 Registered: Mar-06 | look at the AA arsenal. theyre on back order but its worth it for 160. plus it wont cost half a fortune to power it http://ascendantaudio.com/index.html also, i would take 2 12" cvr's over any audiobahn sub anyday. i just recently finished an install on a friends car with 2 cvr's and if they have the rightr box theyre pretty good, and they can be found on ebay for like 160 for a pair... theres my 2 cents... hope it helps (STAY AWAY FROM AUDIOBAHN SUBS) |

New member Username: Little_jimPost Number: 8 Registered: Apr-06 | Thanks Archie Clark for the link. Would two arsenal 12's be better than one havoc 15? I looked on ebay for them but didn't see any. |

Bronze Member Username: ShmanMichigan United States Post Number: 75 Registered: Mar-06 | idk how the 2 compare, but either way it would be an excellent system... maybe Wreak havoc can help, although i have heard that the havoc 15 is extremely dominant in sql... |
