Quality construction; huge surround and magnet. Loud and doesn't distort with 800 RMS running to it. Sounds great. Just one will embarrass people with a trunk full of subs.

Realizing you spent more before for a worse sub.

This sub is a great one for the money. It will outperform subs costing way more. It is built like a brick. People turn when they hear me coming, and that's with only one 12. Sounds like I have a lot more than I do.

It's 700 rms. Very hard to blow. They do not disort when turned up right with the right cut offs and drop offs. Naturally if you try and send higher than 700 hz to it it will sound like dog. It beats all the other main stream crap.

Some times, does not always sound right with rock and roll music. But That's what a Pioneer DEH P7200R IS FOR ;-) Love them dolphins!

Cheap, (When I say cheap I only mean the price.) They are made with quality, all subs are shipped in there own crates. The hit hard, loud, deep, clear, soft, high, mid, you name it this can do it. Just adjust your amps and equalizers right.

The only other sub I have ever seen beat an audiobahn AWT12 is an Atomic Thunder. But it cost about 3k, so why not just go to ebay and get the awt34 :-). Rockfords and orions bow down. Cerwins of any type cringe, and pioneer, kicker, and memphis, run in terror.

Very powerful sub. Gets louder than any other audiobahn out there

Lose some sound quality when maxing the sub.

I paid 500 for 2 12subs. These are pretty sweet and will get plenty loud. I recomend them if your into spl competitions.

not much to compare with

It's an incredible sub. Does have some bottoming.

The bottoming , apparently. Not much else tho. Oh yeah the size! They aren't actually 12" subs, more like 12.35" subs.

I spent 103 each....I would definitely recommend it..

Strengths...strengths, o, size, weight, power handling, 2" surround, deep bass, loud bass, best bass for the buck

size (but that's a good thing), it leaves no competition left (good thing too)

I bought an 18" Audiobahn sub and it kicks ass!!! I have a Q21800 Power Acoustik amp pushing it. It hits deeper than anything, it makes my dash board jump in my '62 Mercury Comet hoopty. It's in a 2.8 cu. ft. box with the amp mounted to it. I found out that you NEED polyfill in your box. The whole ordeal weighs about 90 lbs.! It's the type of bass that hurts my head after a few minutes of serious pounding. I beat all systems around. I've never heard bass hit so low before and rattle my spark plug wires when the car's not even running. It's so deep that sound travels forever, my friends hear me coming for several minutes until I actually pull up to their house. I don't recommend having more than 1 18" unless you're going for SPL in competition. If you do go competition I'd recommend 2 AW1805X subs. Warning: excessive usage may cause hearing damage, and I've proven it.

A month later, it decided to blow up on me. The aluminum gasket or whatever blew out of the magnet structure and the VC is just chillin'. It's hard to say why it blew, but the warranty covers it so 'sall good.

JL 12W3 (2), 12" vegas

Wow, linear, linear, linear! And did I say loud? I have three ALUM10's (two in a 4runner, one in an older BMW) and man, I am only giving them 170 watts-they still cook! And talk about musical! They hit EVERY note with perfection and balance! No note is louder than any other, and this thing will clean out a 20 hz sweep with ease at over 130 db.

Um, the cone dents if you aren't careful about how you install it, but other than that, nothing! Well, maybe I would like to have the ALUM12's instead. (Hey Audiobahn, how about ALUM15's?!)

Um, the Audiobahn surprisingly blows away the Eclipse aluminum subs, and the only thing that comes close to the Audiobahn's accuracy and SPL are the Kappa Perfects. And for $100 a piece, the Audiobahn's REALLY kick everybody's you know what. So treat yourself to one or two or ten of these subs-you will not be disappointed!

JL, MTX - AUDIOBAHN IS A MUST GET!

Looks awesome. Sounds incredibly loud. Very long excursion

The aluminum dents easily if you put your finger on it when the sub is moving which is stupid anyway

First of all, don't be stupid and say that the aw1200 is better than the alum just cause you have one cause it's not. I'm not saying that the aw12 isn't a good sub, it is great and has a larger surround, but the alum just sounds more precise and is louder. The chrome makes it look like an eclipse which is good and the writing isn't all that bad. This sub really knocks though, unscrewed my rearview after like 5 minutes and gives my ears that itchy feeling all the time. makes absolutely everything in my car rattle. It's very precise and loud. i'm hitting high 30's with only one and only 210rms! I've ordered the other one and am gonna be playing 450 rms to each. Just wait till then and you'll all hear me comin

Awsome subs, cant be beat, extream bass, and have good SQ

Hurt your ears and make people mad for having such great subs at a low price

Dont listen to the people giving bad reviews. Most of them are probly stuck up little rich boys that went out and got some $600 subs, only to be out done by some one who spent $200 on audiobahns and out did them. As you can tell i have used a wide range of audiobahns, each as good as the last. I even buy them from online sellers that i know for, friends or who ever wants some good subs. All of the audiobahns i have had have been pritty much flawless. Well i did get one in thats bascket was crcked, but that was from Bad S/H. But any how, every one loves thees subs that hears them, buys them, or sees them. its wierd that you will see a review go from "best subs ever", to "never buy them they suck." The people giving bad reviews are probly are the rich boys im talking about but in some cases things do go rong.
For starters there is the box. People say that the box size didnt work right and this and that. You know why? Its because there is no for shure box size. Different size and shaped cars have different bass reflex making it unable for any one to give a for shure size. Thats why they say .66-1.5 or something like that. One of the only ways to get the propper box size is to test different things, insted of just trying it one way and it not working.
Another thing is the power. I saw one guy talking about putting 330W (RMS) into a 400W RMS sub and it was getting over powered. Ever stop to think about the max of the amp???. If that amp is putting out 330 rms but it might max at 600 or so. This meens when you are listning to bass in your car the amp will be putting out 330, but then go to 600 on some hard hits. And any one who listens to bass music knows that there is not much time between the hard hits. This meens you are prctically running this 400w RMS sub at 500-600 wats. This meens you are constantly going over the rms of the sub causing it to mess up. You know what that meens? It meens that its not the subs fault for blowing or getting warn out, its the users fault.

you can compare, but audiobahn will always have them out done
i can get a AWT12 or AW1208X sub for $350 or less, and there will never be a sub that can come close, in looks, price, SPl and bass
