What maker do you think makes better subs? Better SQ\SPL.... i had audioburns immortal 12's and didnt really like em, i liked PA FUBR12's better.. so since they are cheap and the audioburns burned up for good... i bought a pair of MOFO12's that should be here by tuesday.. these are just for temp.. until i save my money for my 4 12's or 2 15's or whatever.. but what would you say makes better subs, audiobahn or PA i kno its a hard debate.. but i hear more negative about Audioburn subs then PA...

Killa. Question was....who makes the better sub.

Technically, DD does, since they made the immortal.

The answer was??? Immortal.

Unless of course you think PA is better than Digital Designs?

Why would the fubar sound better? Relatively low FS IIRC. The immortal has a high FS of about 50hz IIRC.....and that means what?

Burp only. Sh1t for daily. ;)

Why IMO do they both suck? Bahn and PA make crap with horrid return rates, overrate (lie), and have horrid customer service.

They probably had restrictions as to what parts could be used.

You dont think ive run this or that, you dont think i get this or that.

Dood. Quit thinking,... before you hurt yourself.

You asked, not me.

mofos are not loud they are loud in certain freqeusnis though i think they get loud at between 40 hz to 55hz thats why the sound like sh1t but get loud (not that loud) and because they get loud in those certain frequenzies those hz are the most comon resonance frequensy on the car and gives the mofo a lil boost. dont get power acoustik ill chose bahns over the pa ( only some models not all audiobahns)

aw1206t best sub bahns have ever made just like the the bahn 800 something amplifier very godd solid amp

I've owned an AWP312T which is about a 400 dollar sub and it was very nice, and I've owned some Farenheit Ck-12's and 15's made be PA which were also very nice. I've never heard the Mofo's but I have also heard more bad reviews about the Immortals. I would say for the money PA makes better subs though.

Nothing really. Since you asked tho...

I dont answer questions i know nothing about. IE...if i was sure, id say so, or not post. Therefore am easily annoyed by scepticism.

In addition...

I dont like apple/watermelon comparisons.

I dont like it when i hear "this sub sounds like sh!t". Even when the brand itself is crap. This means ONE thing. The installer sucks. Period. A well installed sub, 1 dollar, or 1,000 dollars, use in the correct app (ie...dont use a SPL sub for SQ) WILL sound well.

I dont like it when a individual uses a comp sub in a daily app....and slams, even a low end brand, simply because the didnt know wtf they were doing.

I dont like the war in Iraq, sex with pregnant women, and speeding tickets...other than that, im fine.

OK rene.... FACT - i run a immortal at 2 ohms and give it about 800rms and you smell the VC's and they stink, do the same with these mofo's and i smell nothing, its louder in and out of the box compared to the immortals, but besides that i think i had defects wtih them subs since day 1, burned out 4 amps trying to run them subs, either at 1 or 4 ohm. Now with these my amp dosnt get the slightest bit warm it stays cold cold like it was still off, and thats pushing about 1200 rms.... every amp on the bahns would get super hot, even this amp running now on the mofos..

Perhaps the nominal ohm load was lower with the Bahns?

They would not sound well "swapped out". The immortal require a whole nother box all together. They were never made/designed to do anything but make one loud f4rt. Its a comp sub, nothing more or less.
