Strength:
great looks, even better bass!
Weakness:
had to modify box a bit to make them fit These subs are great, especially for what they cost. I have 2 of these in a bandpass box run off a Kicker vr360 and these things slam!! I would recommend these to anyone looking for a loud deep bass and on a budget. Similar Products Used: Kicker comp vr (which blew out in a month on the same amp i run these on!, and are the new ones with DVC) |

2001 AW1000X
Strength:
(after breaking in) High power handling, plays very low for a 10" 20 hz easily in a small .65ft^3 box. Clean and louder than any sub period. Does not bottom out in a sealed enclosure.
Weakness:
They sound like crap until they are broken in. THe first week of playing, they would distort and bottom out with 300 rms. GIve them atleast three weeks of moderate wear n tear and they will sound awesome. Great looking sub. I was skeptical at first. Once I pulled them out of there wooden crate, I noticed that they had amazing build quality. I you never seen one, look at one up close. Anyway, I installed them and they didn''t really impress me. I heard louder and cleaner. I ran aprox. 300 rms for four weeks to break them in. Now, they are amazing. Clean, accurate, loud, and high powered. This sub is getting louder and harder to bottom out. I am pushing it with a memphis hc100 on each sub. About 800+rms on each. God these subs are amazing once they are broken in. Similar Products Used: I used JL w3 blew it after 5 months, MTX black gold sounded awesome but did not take that much power, RF dvc was decent but burns up quick, JBL GT good response but no output, MB quart had awesome SQ |

Strength:
The price of this sub was great The performance and chrome basket Never tends to bottom out very heavy magnet structure
Weakness:
the only weakness at all that i could find was the terminals on the speaker, being dual 4 ohm speakers their are 2 sets of terminals and the nuts on the terminals come loose but hey thats not that bad:) I have these bass machines in 2 separate boxes and run them with a 1000 watt Legacy (LA1020) Amplifier...... Wow... its awesome to not only to hear the music but to also feel it....these subs make your music come to life...for n e one with a decent budget i highly recomend these subs:) Great bass and minimal distortion... by the way i paid $170 for the pair Similar Products Used: Ummmm........ I havent heard n e thing out perform these yet or even get to be similar. |

Strength:
Uses a very small box, pounds very hard, looks good
Weakness:
does not handle the power they say they do. If your a musical listener, these are not the subs you want. Good sub for the price! I used a CFA1000D on these subs for about 6 months and I had to get a replacement twice. So I would probably do about 400rms on these and they would be great. |

Strength:
Loud bass for 10" High excursion 2 inch surround AW 1000X has all chrome cast basket Some of the loudest 10's I've heard I have a Orion XTR 500 running @ 2 ohms to the dual 4 ohm coils and they pound like 4 10's Very low distortion
Weakness:
The only thing I dont like is the cone area with the 2 inch surrounds the cone measures about 7.5 in across but once you hear them you'll overlook that fact I bought these from a place called Ike's Electronics on eBay I put them in my car and they sound real nice. They are for small sealed enclosures so I have them in a box that's 0.7 cubic feet per side with 50% fiberfill to get the most output possible I spent 600 total for a fosgate deck, an orion amp and these plus the wood for the box and it sounds like a 1300 system Similar Products Used: Pioneer IMPP Kicker Comp |

2001 AW1000X 10"
Strength:
These subs hit hard. I had heard about their frequent replacement problem but have not had any problems. I have a Crossfire 600d running these bad boys are loud.
Weakness:
I go deaf when I sit in my car. Highly recommend for students with a budget. You get more than what you paid for. Similar Products Used: Sound just like a Soundstream Spl 10" except that 1 Soundtream sounded a little better than 2 Audiobahns. Still great speakers. |

I got 2 of these babies and they hit incredibly hard. Rob doesn't know what he's talking about. These subs are awesome. Handles the highs and lows great. Can go really deep.
Weakness:
I hear a ringing in my ears after listening to them Audiobahn is the next big thing in car audio. These subs give me a back massage when I'm riding in my car. They sound and feel good. Similar Products Used: nothing can compare to these subs |

Strength:
like the ability to handle power and small box design great sounding sub for the money.
Weakness:
dont like the 2" surround wich makes the cone very small has very little X-Max for such a big surround also the subs reliablity is an issue after sending three of these back to the company for exchange they will not take the full 600 watts rated more like 300 watts they are over rated! i would recommend audiobahn aw1000 to people on a budget but not to people who can afford better. Similar Products Used: i would compare it to a kicker competition with less effiecient voice coils.or fosgate xlc's. |

Strength:
Look great-big foam surrounds and chrome basket
Weakness:
Have to do some cutting to your box to fit them in the hole. Like the sound.Got 400 watts rms running to them and they are extremely loud.Would tell anyone to buy them because for the money spent you're getting one heck of a sub. Similar Products Used: Nothing so far |
