Audiobahn speakers...subwoofers specifically

Does anybody know if they are Good or Bad from personal experience?

There are alot of good reviews of them online. But most those people only care about is the loudness. I saw a few reviews that were not so good, mostly not happy because the woofer fell apart in less then 1 month.

They have SPL output, but that's about it. They're famous for one-note, boomy bass at high levels. You'd be better off going for something else, IMHO.

Jaxvon is correct - as usual. If you're looking for a musical sub, try an Alpine or JL.

If you're looking to impress your friends, or simply thump around town, they are pretty decent for the price. They have quite a selection and price range. Here's their top models.

What is your price range for a woofer?

Hsu sells a 10" car sub that isn't too bad. There are also other good offerings out there from Infinity, JL Audio, etc. In terms of absolute quality, I'd rate JL as the best (or one of them). They are expensive (and some members will say not worth the price), but their drivers are made with high-quality components and exhibit low distortion and high linearity. And they can bump too!

Audiobahn = BAD
Sony = BAD
Jenson = BAD

Infinity = GOOD
Resonant Engineering = GOOD
Adire Audio = BEST

JL Audio = Overpriced Adire stuff

Thx for the responses.
I was just looking for a replacement 15" woofer. The cabinet is still good, just need to replace the woofer.
I saw a bunch of Autobahn on ebay for cheap and was just curious.

This is for a HT. I have a nice amp that can push 2, 4, 8ohm and probably 1ohm without a problem. So was looking at all different kinds of woofers.

I think I'm just going to go with a 15" DVC subwoofer MB Quartz or a DAYTON 15" TITANIC.

I don't know where you guys are getting this stuff, I've been into car audio for awhile and JL is not over priced they are huge performers and not expensive compared to other brands. I've used pretty much all the name brand stuff and JL Audio is going to give you the best performance for your money.

I'm inclined to agree. Adire uses impregnated paper cones. JL audio uses poly cones, the W structure, among many other things. Yes JL is expensive. But unlike so many manufacturers, they focus on sound quality, not just quantity. I would imagine Dynaudio to be the same way.
