Funny how you still buy it anyways even though u got 2 comments on ur last post telling u not to. Audiobahns aren't really that good, I personally have some myself and wish I didn't get them with the craze about 2 years ago. Nice if u wanna make a custom setup though, but too many people are using them at shows these days. Not tryin to knock u, but I'm sure a lot of people were shaking their head after they clicked the link.

Power handling does NOT make a great sub. Audiobahn is not very well regarded in the car audio industry my friend. It *looks* great, but performance will lack, especially with you giving it 400 watts RMS when it can supposedly handle 550. It will be sloppy sounding I can guarantee you. Audiobahn subs are just that: Looks Pretty, Sounds sloppy. Thats about all there is to it.

you guys are too hard on jrock. not everyone cares about high end sound. i have RCA speakers in my garage and am still using the speakers that came with my computer. does that make me foolish? it suits my needs just fine.

so if he gets $80 of value out of his purchase, it doesnt matter if any of us wouldnt be caught dead with his equipment in our cars, thats a good buy for jrock!

as to not listening to others opinions on product, noone ever does. people would come in my shop when i was on the floor asking about rockford. id spend the next 5 minutes bashing rockford, giving him the full sales pitch about why its a poor performer, what we have thats better, even cheaper and still outperforms rockford! what do they do? buy rockford. And I charge them an extra $20 for wasting my time, every time.

congratz on the sub, jrock, dont listen to these people, I hope you enjoy your purchase!

The dude asked for help, there were some responses, and he still didn't listen. It's like the guy at work that constantly asks you for help but never listens. Why ask for advice if you can't take it? I agree with you that not everyone wants the same thing, but when no one responds to his questions next time, he'll be calling us *** holes again!

aaaaajjajajajajaj beer store cruiser. excelent.

as to not taking the advice, its been around since Octavius. (the Divine Augustus) He will listen to you intently, give you his full attention, and emotive sympathy. then He will go out and do what he intended to do anyways. and he was worshipped, in the end!

i don't hate you...

so you won't impress a few of us. who the ***** cares? most of your buddies won't care, most women will be impressed, so all is good. not like you're going to compete anyways.

many of us change our systems every so often anyways, just to try new and better things. at least you didn't dish out a ton of loot on your subs only to change it in a year...
