help make a decision

if you HAVE TO have either of those, go with audiobahn otherwise i wouldnt touch either of them.

help make a decision

heres the car



heres the two options on boxes and subs for the car. we will get them directly from the auction, but the only problem is deciding which one.
which one do you, personally, think is better as far as looks, quality, and sound performance. if your decision is neither, please explain why! a 1000 watt rock. fos. amp will be pushing whatever package is bought, so that is part of the decision process also. we are not big audio buffs, so we are at odds on what option to choose. any info or input is welcome, and thanks for your time.

don't do the sonys...they're nowhere near as nice as the audiobahns.

I agree...the Audiobahn is sweeteer!

Well I'm not a big fan of bandpass boxes, but if I had to choose one over the other I would go with the Audiobahns. I have had to many friends with sony subs that roasted.

sony speakers are pretty icky...just an observation.

why? what would you do otherwise? the money doesnt Have to be spent on these two particular set ups, thats just what we came across that looked good.

again, why are you not a fan of bandpass boxes?

because both those subs are like the bottom line for each company and bandpass boxes arent exactly known for their sound quality

audiobahn sounds sloppy to me

Exactly how I feel. With a bandpass box you will get nice hard hitting bass at a small frequency range, but it wouldn’t be very tight and clear. Personally, I love the sound of a good sealed box. Even if you get a premade sealed box and put a sub in it, I think you will be more pleased with the sound quality of the set up.

between those 2, i would go with the audiobahns - simply better quality speakers. Mine have been booming for over 4 years without breaking a sweat.

I'll let u guyz hear a good system/setup once I get my car back from the stereo shop 2night

you said in the 1st post " we are not big audio buffs" so the way I take it, you are going to get this for show? if thats the case I would just get a bass link

they sound good, don't take alot of space and look good

then what are they known for? here i was thinking bandpass boxes gave better sound and thats why they cost more

Bandpass boxes give higher spl(sound pressure levels) at a given frequency range, yet they do this at a sacrifice to sound quality and power handling.

our sponsor gave us some of these to run for memorial day wkend to see how we like them...




they sound Good to me. good quality nice bass. but thats just me i guess. i'm not one to play music insanely loud. it's still a hard choice to decide whether or not to get them or wait and save a little extra cash for summer time.

I think i'm going to wait for both, powder coat my rims and give it a rest for summer, use the truck box w/ a 12" rockford fosgate we already have for now, i just need something that beats hard enough to keep me awake at night.
