Audiobahn has some bad build quality. Sure, if you are looking for a cheap SPL install, audiobahn will be "loud". It really just depends on the install that you want. |

|
Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audib... Post Number: 1544 Registered: Mar-07 | ^x2 A budget and sound preference is needed to make that decision. |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudazzaltimaBrooklyn, NY Post Number: 33 Registered: Mar-08 | Well you can say one sub is better than another by one looking at the specs and by hearing them in person, not sure what u mean by bad build but ok. If u could explain that would be great. Now ben don't confuse price with being cheaply made, there are a few lesser known companies that make great subs and prices are cheaper, and audiobahn isn't cheaply made they make great boom for ur buck, but there are many onther companies that are way better |

Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2308 Registered: Dec-06 | If you're saying there is nothing wrong with the build quality of Audiobahn then you don't know what you're talking about man, sorry. Not ALL of them are sh*tty, but the vast majority of their subs are not very good. |
|
Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 767 Registered: Jul-07 | ok 150s a little crazy maybe mid 140s to high 140s |
|
Gold Member Username: MgbcsLincoln, Nebraska Post Number: 2311 Registered: Dec-06 | You have some bigs hopes...that's good tho. You really need to come up with a budget first tho, otherwise it will be hard to help you out. |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 768 Registered: Jul-07 | i think i will stick with my origanl idea for now and that would be 2 infinity perfect kappas in a 3 cuft box for each chamber ported to infinitys specs |

Post Number: 1546 Registered: Mar-07 | "Well you can say one sub is better than another by one looking at the specs and by hearing them in person, not sure what u mean by bad build but ok. If u could explain that would be great." Specs have nothing to do with what makes a sub better. It is the sound preference of the user. If a person wants a nice tight SQ sound and has a small area to work with, a smaller SQ sub would be the BEST sub for his install. But just saying "yeah, well this [insert random sub here] is allot better because the specs are better!" Better specs isn't want that user was looking for correct? And Audiobahn does have some extremely budget build quality. |

Gold Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 1174 Registered: Jan-08 | the only thing i would buy made by kicker is thier amps,cvx sub, and wiring kits. ben get 2 AQ SD2.5 12s or 15s and run them off the AQ 1200D if your not really tryin to spend alot....or mayb even wait for the AQ HDC3 to be back in stock. http://www.audioque.com/aq/index.htm |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8503 Registered: Jun-04 | well the hdc subs can get loud but need the power to get there...as far as hittin the lows dont go smaller than the 15...I dont like the 12 hdc when it hits the lows its not very tight and that was in a 35 hz tuned box |
|
Bronze Member Username: LoudazzaltimaBrooklyn, NY Post Number: 35 Registered: Mar-08 | Yea I agree that audio/alpha are the same company, but I think alpha are on a higher level, similar to the hifon/ crunch. And everyone knows audio isn't the premier quality but the immortals r pretty decent for what u pay |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 8504 Registered: Jun-04 | you know what...if you want to get loud and not need tons of power do a eclipse titanium elite 12 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=230233027567&Category=18803#e bayphotohosting |

Gold Member Username: Loc_outSanta Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 1795 Registered: Feb-05 | I had a pair of audiobhan sub before which i thought sound good. Compare to my XXX audiobahn lags SQ. That's a really good suggestion sean. |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 770 Registered: Jul-07 | i like the AQs but i want the hdc but cant find em in stock about how much power do they need any ways |
|
Gold Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 1180 Registered: Jan-08 | i got a HDC315 running off a zx1000.1 and i think its plenty loud for me. it lacks on the low end though but i still think it sounds good. i got it in a 3.5cuft tuned @ 37hz made by phil at woodlawn cabinetry. they are suppose to be getting them back in stock soon but it will not come equipped as the 1st shipment did, u will have to pay xtra for the options. |

Gold Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 1181 Registered: Jan-08 | here are AQ SD2.5 12s, this is Stavenmist316 on here, but i think he upgraded his amp he's running a saz1500d now, and they get low... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVH7lgMP7Cc&feature=related |

Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 772 Registered: Jul-07 | what options will it be missing |
|
Gold Member Username: Stateprop486PA Post Number: 1187 Registered: Jan-08 | i believe they will come with the copper coils instead of the aluminum coils and 8" layer. which came free with the first shipment. |
|
Silver Member Username: B3n07Louisville, Ky USA Post Number: 777 Registered: Jul-07 | ok im going to check out back in spring to see if they have got in some new stock |
