I'm thinkin of putting a box with Audiobahn AW1251T Subwoofers in and I don't really know anything about them.Now I'm not trying to rattle my neighbors teeth out,but I'd like something that sounds half way decent.I know you all have your favorite subs but I'm not looking to spend a grand on an enclosure just want to know if Audiobahn is crap or not. THANKS!!

 

Not really crap but, they are alot of flash and chrome. There are better choices for the same money. What kind of budget are you looking at and are you buying local or online?

 

audiobahn is pretty high quality actually

 

On paper it looks good

Size: 12 inch
Rec. Sealed Box Dims: 1.00 - 2.00 cu.ft.
Rec. Ported Box Dims: 1.30 - 3.15 cu.ft.
Free Air Usage: not recommended
Sensitivity: 92.1 dB
Frequency Response: 24-1000 Hz
Recommended RMS Power: 400W
Peak Power Handling: 800W
Impedance: dual 4 ohms

But the sound also depends quite a bit on the enclosure type you choose: single, dual, third order, forth order bandpass, the Cubic feet given to each speaker, port length and diameter, and the type of amp you feed it with.

 

Actually audiobahn = crap. You can get much better for probably less from many other brands. JL Audio, Resonant Engineering, Sounsplinter, just to name a few.

 

You dont have the money for jl if your only willing to spend a grand, i'd go with a kicker l7 with one of the new planet audio amps, or some kind of memphis hpo...Audiobahn is overrated, horrible...

 

Isn't that the kind they sell at AutoZone?? A while back, in another car, I had 2 10" JL W zeros with an Alpine amp and head unit, and it sounded great!

 

ya, i had 2 mtx 10" and an mtx sub and it sounded amazing

 

from experience audiobahns look beefy and cool (flames etc.) but there are a lot of other brands that out perform them. If you want awesome subs stick with MTX, kicker, JL audio and alpine. MTX used to be kinda crappy but they are makin some kick a$#$$$ subs these days.... I have 2 12" pioneer subs which were givin to me, i bridged them at 4 ohms and they hit hard! Right now im savin up for 2 12" alpine type r's and 2 alpine 400 watt rms amps so that each sub has its own amp, im making a custom enclosure to fit the specs and a fully dynamated trunk, the setup should be pretty impressive once im done ill post pics up but it might be a month or 2 before i get the setup in....[&o]

 

Audiobahn sucks so bad. im dealer for them and WILL NOT recommend them. I perfer Cadence. Not over priced and not flooding the market.
