I just think people are way too quick to jump on the bashing bandwagon.
In a forum like this with a lot of newb-ness I'd rather EXPLAIN some things and let people draw their own conclusion than just tell them to avoid something altogether because I said so.
You're entitled to your opinion, and I don't like Audiobahn either, but I've heard more than one 'Bahn setup that was ridiculously loud and very clean. I've found a lot of their high end stuff to be dang nice, but it comes at a premium. Prices in the Kicker/Orion/Fosgate range, any of which I'd buy long before Audiobahn.
There are a lot of people that know a lot about this hobby that swear by Audiobahn. For that and a few other reasons - to just call 'Bahn crap and be done with it, I think, is wrong.
I agree with u, audioburn's high end stuff is nice, but i would hope any brands high end stuff would be.
Most newbs dont have much money to start off with, so that is why alot of us tell them to stay away from certain brands low end products, because they will be disappointed and it will be a waste of the little money they have.
