Banging Sub

I have ran this sub for a bit, just in a single cab truck with an old school amp, and it sounds great, and shakes the truck!! Worth the money as looking around for something to handle around 5-600 rms of power. Very effective in a ported enclosure with approx 1.5 cu ft of air space. I recommend this sub to any, and all. Worth every penny!! Running at 2ohms and sounds GREAT!!! SHIPPING WAS FAST AND GREAT PRICE!!!!

Pretty good

Bought a pair of these a while ago and threw them on a 1200 Watt amp and in a 2.5 cubic ft sealed box and they pound. I recommended ported enclosure though if you want even more bass

AWESOME!!!!!

These subs are super fancy and nice they sound soooo clean. I have 10 subwoofers at home and these are the best!! BUY THEM NOW!!!

awesome subs

I would recommend this brand of subs to all the bass junkies with systems. This actually is my fourth set up with the audiobahn name. AWESOME SUBS!!!!

Worth every penny

Ive had 2 of these subwoofers for about 4 months and dont really have much to complain about. People have been very impressed on the performance. Im using an old Sony 1200watt amp (550RMS) at 2ohms per channel in a square vented box, approx. 1.5 cubic Feet of volume per sub.

Pros. They Look pretty cool, can handle power, they come in a cool wooden box that doubles for storage after install, they deliver clean bass, and I got them for a great price at Sonic.

Cons. The wiring terminals could be better, and you have to cut out some room for them to fit into your box.

good but not great

Audiobahn aluminum woofers more capable than this high excursion. I run a comp grade zero gain mono 250 watt amp by Fosgate. I blew this woofer after three days of breaking in. It is over rated as when it hit high excursion from a true power amp, the coil fried.

This sub is awsome

The pros and cons for this sub is the sub hole cut out needs to be 1/16" to 3/16" bigger. I have 2 of these in a ported box and they sound good and low just for 2 Audiobahn 10's. They are louder than my 2 12" MTX 4500's. I have mine runung on a 350 watt kenwood amp works just fine.

Despite small design flaw, great sounding.

Despite the design flaw of the multi-connect lugs extending-out slightly into the circumference of the cutout circle and requiring minor modification to get the sub to seat... the driver does sound great.

I purchased this driver for my project to design a smaller sub enclosure to reside in the center of the rear passenger seat. I own a 2002 Ford SporTrac so almost no "hidden" room in the cabin. I love the sound of the Alpine Type-R 12" I already have in a 1.75 cu. ft. ported box tuned to 34Hz. But that box (which resided directly behind driver's seat) took up that whole seat, and also was a little fugly since I had to put an additional baffle on top of my box.

For this AudioBahn enclosure project the volume I had to work with is around .92-.94 cu.ft. (hard to know exact measurement due to top fiberglass rounded surface shapes).

I originally was gunning for 3" port tuned to 32Hz, but the port noise was way too much. Too much resistance at that long of a length of port tube. Did some quick modeling in WinISD and determined that if I adjusted the port tube length to a 40Hz tune it would drop the port air resistance down to acceptable parameters. I'm only bothering to mention all this so that if you plan on using this driver for some nice SPL/low-lows, be sure to design your box around a 4" port vs 3". Even though I've had to change the tuning to 40Hz, it works b!tch!n for music. Leaves a little to be desired for sub-bass specific (Bass-Tester) tracks.

Just one flaw...

I've been slowly building a fiberglass-top enclosure for this sub I purchased from sonic and there is one small design flaw. The multi-connect lugs for the wiring extend ever-so-slightly past the diameter of the cutout circle necessary for the sub to seat.

I had to perform surgery on my cutout opening using my Dremel Multi-Max oscillating-blade plunge bit to make a slight shaved-out square-edged notch dipping into cutout circle on both opposing sides in order to get this driver to fit. And it's not like the lip on the driver is very wide either.

Unfortunately I found this out AFTER I'd already glassed-up the top layer of my enclosure with the mounting-ring in it.

Needless to say.... I was SUPER-PISSED!

On a positive note...

The free-air testing I did with this sub was very positive though. Even at very low frequencies the amount of mechanical noise was low.

Now I'm just waiting for the final coat of paint to dry then I'll finally be mounting my driver into the box in the next couple of days.

Love it

I bought 2 of these and put them in a custom box in my s-10. They sound awesome. I got a factory radio and i have it down sometimes and the bass all the way and it is loud.

Follow-up Review...

Ok... so I went back and corrected my port issues on my box by employing 4 tubes with 1.5" inner diameter and tuned their lengths to equate to a 32Hz tune. With this new port configuration I'm LOVING the way this sub sounds! I'm even considering going back and reconstructing my 12" Alpine Type-R box to similarly use 4 vent tubes like this one so that the vent air speed is nice and low. As it sits right now... the 12" setup is a little louder... but this AudioBahn 10" setup has a markedly better clarity. So now I'm curious to re-engineer the Type-R box with a similar treatment just to see if I gain more clarity from that driver as well. But I'm getting almost as much volume from .94 cu. ft. as I get out of 1.75 cu. ft. with the other Type-R setup!

great subs

Got three in a slot ported box made just for them with an mb quart mono at 2.7 ohms slams hard!!! Must have!! Highly recommended.

Good Product

Put a pair of these into 0.75 sealed enclosure and powered them with an Infinity 400 watt amp. They hit well, nice and tight, This is the second set of Audiobahn subs I've worked with, they are good quality subs that perform well and look good. It's a shame to put in a box without a window.

Good punch

Good speaker with good terminals. Only gripe is have to make speaker box hole bigger but that is manufactures fault for no standard cutout size.
