Audiobahn??

i just purchased 2 12" Audiobahn dual 4ohm AW1200n's off of ebay for 180 bucks and iam having a custom ported box being built to fit in my car i kno there are better brands other than audiobahn but i have read some good things about this particular model i was wondering where can i get 2 good monoblock amps some where in the 700-1200 watt rms range i have herd good things about hifonics and infinity amplifiers please help

why do you want two amps. a single would be a better way to go. you need between 1000 and 1500 wrms. i happen to own an amp that would be perfect. could let it go for 700 bucks. itll give you 800 x 2 @ 2 ohm or 1600 bridged @ 4 ohm and that is at 12 volts. given 14, who knows what its putting out. probably closer to 2000. that way, if you ever get better speakers youll already have a good amp.

700 is a little 2 much for me iam looking 2 spend no more than 300-400 on the amp hell if i had 700 to drop i would have got the JL 13w7 withe the JL amplifier

i was thinking about canceling my plans for a ported box and with a sealed dude to limited trunk space in my car i drive a 94 mustang GT also ow much did u pay for your RE's i am thinking about putting some of those in my subburban

thanks forthe list oh and the audiobahns are going to be a christmas present for my younger brother to go in his mustang i kno dey arnt known for the sound quality but its his first system but for my suburban i was thinking about jus saving up and buy 2 13w7's with a custom ported box i have the the sotck sound system in there now and i am tired of people asking why do i have the rims and tires with no aduio or visual upgrades i am kind of on a limited budget of aroun 700 tops on my vehicle and about 300 for my brothers box and amp

All the Audiobahns I've heard sound WAY better in a ported enclosure.

also anybody know where i can buy a ported box that will actually fit into a mustang all of the ones i have seen will not fit there but i have seen alot of seald how hard is it to turn a seald box into a ported one

nothin against JL at all, infact i've heard the 10w7 and personally think its amazing, but with the money you're gonna spend on the 13w7, atleast consider maybe waiting 'til january or something for the new XXXs or search for a Brahma. Everyone here's been raving about the new XXX's, and i see it everywhere that Brahma's are amongst the best drivers ever made.

EDIT: Also, instead of 2 drivers, why not look into a 15"?

EDIT: Make your own ported enclosure. they're big, though, if you want the right size. try making an isobarik with a port. it'll require approx. half the needed volume of one of the drivers. (ie if one driver needs 2cu.ft. for nominal performance, an iso box will only need approx 1cu.ft. for 2 drivers)

yeah a couple of guys i work with are big in car audio i have herd that re rapes just about any other brand but its just somthing that attracts me to the JL's also i dont really have the time to build up a custom box for the mustang how hard is it to port a sealed box

here's a good link to calculate ur box if u decide to build it. http://www.bcae1.com/spboxnew2.htm
also get "Car Audio Cookbook" from ur library or something.

can anyone tell how hard is it to port a sealed box b/c i just purchased one from ebay and it will be here in a couple of days and i have the subs so i would like to get started on it any help will b greatly appreciated

You want to take a prefabed sealed box and port it?? Don't bother IMHO. Just keep the sealed, and build a ported, and see which you like better. If you don't feel like designing the plans, there are several people here who are more than compentent to do it, for a small fee. Building it is Easy!

thanx i can build it i just dont have the time b/w work and building up my 95 GT i really don have time to build a box so im just goin to go with the sealed untill i get around 2 da ported

Actually the JL w7 13's are pretty hard to compete with. I have the XXX 15" and it just slams the crap out of itself, even in my shotty, piece of crap box that is too thin and I'm probably barely pushing it's RMS, even with the 1500w Cadence amp. I need to upgrade to 2 gauge or 1/0 gauge, get a new box and possibly an HO alternator and sound dampening and I'll be good.

i still laugh everytime i see jean claude doin that dance
