Strength:
Huge bang for the buck, OK SQ, Amazing Xmax, Super cheap online, DVC, Great for small spaces, they look pretty cool too.
Weakness:
The Audiobahn name, People who don't know how to treat subs-the wattage rating doesn't identify a subs sonic capability. Yes I wrote a review last year under the username Zack. This is an update: I did drop all that money for Audiobahn gear -BIG MISTAKE. I have bought many, many, many Audiobahn products-all dissapointments except for there ABC Components and these subs. Meanwhile, I built another box and put these tens in my wifes car pushed by the same amp. Man it bumped the little KIA like there was no tomorrow. I on the other hand bought 2 12' flame q's, the "1800 watt" audiobahn class d amp wired at 1ohm, which is how the amp reaches 1800. I was so mad that all that money mabey got me six more db. Well, I sold the q's, got a JL 1000/1 amp, and put the 10's back in my truck as a temporary while I wait for my new L7's to ship. Again, these little speakers pound with no sign of stopping. If you are on a small audio budget, this is the way to go. Similar Products Used: Flame Q's Cerwin-vega, pioneer, every kind of concert audio brand you can think of. If it's out there I've heard it. |

Strength:
They beat hard as hell!!!
Weakness:
cant find any yet I bought 4 of these subs and built a home made box and it sounded ok. Then i bought a ready made box and put it behind the seat of my 92 silverado (single cab). These subs str8 BANG!!! I have them in a sealed enclosure with a Audiobahn aw8002t amp pushing them. That's 1600 watts/2 bridged...so thats atleast 600 watts going to each speaker constantly...these handle the power really well. they suprised me as they sound better with two than four...so if you already have the speakers, buy the aw8002t amp and it'll mess ya hair up...i bought my amp for like 289.00 and i can get anyone else who wants one for about that price...email me at ruff_ninja_ryder@yahoo.com Similar Products Used: kicker |

Strength:
DB per Dollar, DVC, Looks,
Weakness:
None unless you try to get more out of it than it's designed for. Audiobahninc.com has ALL of thier specs These little sub have supprised the heck out of me. When I had 1 in a small sealed box, it was OK. I built my own box a with little more air space and some poly fill and added a second 10. Man! I'm not kidding, these subs hit really hard for a couple of $35 jobs. I'm powering them with an OK Xplod amp bridged at 400w @ 4 ohms. I'm so impressed with Audiobahns lowest end products that I just dropped $1,400 for an upgrade consisting of all audiobahn gear. Similar Products Used: Rockford, Cerwin-Vega, Sony, Pioneer |

Strength:
they hit a nice,clean,deep a** bass even for 10"subs,for example Late night tip-3sixmafia
Weakness:
none except wantin a plexi box to show off the flame basket I got these subs and the chrome flame grills for a 100 bucks. I have these in a 92 beretta hooked up to a power acoustik lt-980 2 channel amp.i have them in a 10" q-logic dual divided sealed box. I have them wired up in series and then paralleled to the amp. Which for the amp is 560 watt rms @4ohm mono and the subs handle 600 watt rms for the pair. they slam harder than my mtx 6000 12's i had hooked up to a mtx6500d and then to the power acoustik. The db level on mtx just sucks compared to audiobahn. and if u dont like the watts they can handle go with a lower watted brand Similar Products Used: mtx6000 12",rf 10's series z,rf 10's he series, kenwood 10's ksc bp210, digital acoustik 10's performance |

Strength:
DVC, ability to handle up to 600 watts peak, and cost effective.
Weakness:
None that I am aware off. Since I'm using a sealed enclosure, it seem a waste to have a chrome basket which could not be seen. After breaking it in, I was really dissapointed with the outcome. I'm driving it with 250 Watts RMS mono and it sounded lame. After about a week, it really started to thump. Surprisingly, it can go deep and low. I played Bass Mekanik CD sometimes when I'm on the road just to let off some steam and it could really pound.Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchased. For the buck, I give this sub two thumbs up. Similar Products Used: JVC, Lanzar, Lightning Audio, Cerwin Vega and MTX. |

Strength:
sound great with the right power.
Weakness:
The leads from the posts to the voice coils blow way to easily. I have a pair of these subs in a sealed inclosure. I started off pushing them with 150x2 rms amp. I blew them within a month. I got a second pair and a more powerful 300x2 rms amp. Within two weeks I blew the second pair. I've replaced those and am now on my third pair of these speakers. I don't over play them, but I think my amp is giving them too much power. 420x2 @2 ohms rms. I've blown one of the third pair and I'm wondering how I just blew one. Anybody know? I'm gonna upgrade to the awc10q's. I'm tired of dealing with this. Similar Products Used: kicker comp10, no name 10 |

Weakness:
It's my girlfriends sub, she finds nothing wrong with it. I only wish I would have got her a 12 inch at least instead. Ok, here is the skinny. It does not look like that picture shows. It looks much more study. I hate it when they show the picture of a 15. Anyway, it is a marvelous sub. It is being powered by a jbl 300.1 Mono amp. It's taking all 300 watts rms just fine. It Hits all bass rythms on every song. Except hard core low ass hz below 20. It does them, But is a faint sound. It thrives on 30 hz - 500 hz. It's Been in a .75 wedge style box, and is now in a .65 truck box.

I thought when I purchased it about two years ago that this sub would be just ...average, but I''ve been abusing this sub for almost two years now and it just won''t die. I have about 140 watts going into this sub, in a sealed enclosure. Still sounds great. Quality versus price this sub deserves two thumbs up. |

Strength:
It looks really cool.
Weakness:
It sounds like crap in the recommended sealed box, and in the recommended ported box. It is a piece of poop. No, it is a piece of cr@p. Spend more and get something decent. Similar Products Used: GSI, Rockford Fosgate XLC, Infinity Beta, Pioneer Diamondplate. Better than GSI, worse than the rest. |
