Newb who needs help...Audiobahn 18

[Blazin20s]

Alright guys im wanting to get something different that my 2 mtx 12s that i got now....i was thinking on something pretty different..maybe just a single 18?

about the only one in my price range (about 800$ish for sub and amp if possible) is a Audiobahn AW1805Q (cheapest place i could find it was on ebay) ...Is that worth getting?


BUT MY main question is what kind of amp would be a good setup for that 18 and fit under my budget of 800-900$ for both sub an amp

I have a 97 blazer...but i think i can get a box built from a local place

Or is there any other 18 that i could fit in that price range with an amp

WELL sry for being a such a dumb newb..but im learning so back off


Any help would be great!!!!!

first audiobahn blows, second the amp depends on the sub and how much power it can take. so first we need to find a sub read around the forums and you get a general idea of whats good. the newbie thread has some good stuff, like a company ratings list.

www.reaudio.com .. check out the SX im sure thatll be plenty of bass for ya

[Blazin20s]

THANKS....so thats better than the audiobahn i guess....u kno any where i can get those re's?...besides their own website...seems that ebay doesnt have any

[PaulD]

companies like RE are direct sell to the public ....... ebay subs would be used

call them, the sx is killer, there 12.1 amp should run it quite well, or something from hifonics or US amps. theres a nice company list in the newbie thread

[Blazin20s]

alright..well im prly gonna look into that then....yea one of my bestfriends (2002stang22 is his name on here) he got a us amp its the DE-3000...hes gonna have it powering 5 12's im sure u guys prly remember helping him

so i should go with hifonics or us or a differnt??? i guess i need to go with the cheapest still gonna try to get the budget totall for sub and amp around 800... u guys got any specific(spl) recomendations from those companies that would power the RE good (haha n cheap)

the only website i could find it from other that re's website had the price in euros arent those about the same as a an american $$$$

yea from ebay i meant a companny that sold threw ebay

CALL RE thats how you get prices and order.

im gonna use hifonics on my XXX18 later this year so id recomend them.

[Blazin20s]

Any recomendations on which hifonics model?

[AndonD454]

you can do better than hifonics with the extra 450+ youll have left over for an amp.. well maybe after wires and box liek 400.. but still thats plenty for a good amp.

a nine.1 from elemental designs would be a nice match.. youll get over 1200 watts (prolly like 1400) and im sure the SX can handle it. its 350 at www.edesignaudio.com .. but im sure there are tons of amps that would do a great job in that range but i dont know where amps are cheapest while still under warranty.

go with audiobahn yo. Your car needs to have some show to it. Everybody in the real world will think its sick when you show them your audiobahn 18. Or you could get some side market stuff like RE, and have people always ask you who's that. Do you really think audiobahn's 18" sub blows? Yea right... it pounds. I've heard them.

[Blazin20s]

alright thanks thats the awnser i was looking for(not towards the rockwitdatbird)....yea i plan on getting a custom box built...guess i a decent amount of room to work with....4dr blazer


Is that guy right though?^^^^^
