bigdman Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 well i bought a brand new audiobahn a16000v, had it for a day and blew it! 1600 watts rms 3200 max. yeah right i have a vr3 200 watt that pushes the same subs just as hard.

97loudcut Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 umm I love Audiobahn but only thier high end stuff..still though for me audiobahn is just pure loudness and not so good on the sound quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 audiobahn sucks. Plain and simple, I have never been impressed by anything they have and I have always thought they sounded like shit. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted2bass Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Audiobahn is crap, not the worst you can buy but still crap. Alot of show cars use audiobahn cuz of the high "bling" factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkton Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Audiobahn equals crap... Of course I can't really talk with my Visonik amp... but at least I don't have the subs anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 i have a cousin that has been working in the field for 9 years now as a installer and he says it is decent for the price. I have one 10 in my trailblazer and it gets plenty loud enough, and is clear. But if your going for huge #'s i would stay away from it.

Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Audiobahn = Roadmaster (walmart brand). Nothing but bad luck out of the speakers we have/had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkton Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I had a pair of Audiobahn 6x9's in my Cutlass from the previous owner. I blew them in a week. Put the stock rear ones in and they lasted about 6 months... so I would say they suck. That's the only experience I've had with Audiobahn and it was terrible.

MonteCarloChick Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 I have audiobahns and they're far from crap IMO. Then again, audiophiles are psychotic about what they think is good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted October 2, 2006 Report Share Posted October 2, 2006 Ive seen some installs with audiobhans and heard many of them as well. I was not impressed. I have not owned any, but Ive intsalled them for friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GOT2B GM Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 My friend has an Audiobahn Immortal 15" quad voice coil sub, with the carbon fiber cone and aluminum dust cap, 2000W RMS, and it is a SPL MACHINE!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontiac6KSTEAWD Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Have a freind that lives across the street from me is heavy into music and stereo systems. He isnt brand specific, he looks for what looks good in its surroundings, and what fills the car with quality sound. He has done a DAMN good job at it. He has AudioBahn in his car, but only their amps. They seem to make a good quality amp, sounds good, and looks good too. But he even says to stay away from their speakers. I have a set of 6x9's in my 87 6k. They have been falling apart since we got them. Dont sound good, and a few other things. I have had other audiobahns in the past, and have had the same issue with them. I wont buy their speaker products again. Would consider their smps thou.

GP1138 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 They make good speakers, I suppose, but their headunits are junk. I looked at one at Best Buy and it just felt and looked cheap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addicted2bass Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 The only good audiobahn sub ive heard was a older model 15". Not sure of the model, but there was no chrome on it. It was in a mid 90s escort hatchback, it was damn loud. Now the kid has a DD 15" running off 2 Crossfire 2000ds. Loudest thing in my immediate area that i know of. The other bad thing about audiobahn is that they arent exactly cheap. For the money you can get a much better product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89GP_SE Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 I have always been a Alpine and Pioneer guy myself, but I have heard some audibahn stuff, it didnt seem that bad to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19Cutlass94 Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 SQ greatly depends on the install, but still, I havent heard a sub from them that Ive liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 SQ greatly depends on the install, but still, I havent heard a sub from them that Ive liked. Yep, just ask Matt(loudcut) the difference in the sound quality between his old Audioblah and my JL. Night and day difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, the only way I can see the audiobahn being better than the JL, is if the JL was in some really shitty box, and the audiobahn is in the best box possible for that sub. But since thatll never happen, JL is MUCH better. Both in SQ and in SPL. audiobahn and companies like such are for the people that are cheap and wont spend anymore, because well they are not that expensive IMHO.

jdcutty Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I had an audiobahn ALUM15Q (roughly 2000w RMS) that i had hooked up to my 1600w sony amp, and it didn't last a day. I blew out the voice coils, of course, it was a while ago and it happened to be the first dvc sub that i had hooked up, i may have hooked it up wrong. For the record, it did sound good when it was working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
