Audiobahn DUB200

[tr10av]

I need some subs to put in my new car and someone on another forum is offering 2 Audiobahn DUB200s for $85 plus shipping. Here is a link to an eBay site with all the specs and some pics:

I read the ratings stickey and it says Audiobahn is average. Is this still true? I had some Rockford Fosgates and was wondering if these will sound better or not? Also I read in a post that these sound better ported rather than sealed is that true?

Thanks

Audiobahn is less than average, some of their products may be considered average, but I have a hard time with that. Give us a budget, you'll get alot more for your money.

Well I could get the pair for $100 total and don't want to spend too much. How would these compare to Rockford Fosgate P1s do you think(which I have now)?

I'd prefer to buy things off eBay etc to save money and not from the manufacturer.

ascendant audio Assasin 10's...pair = 155 shipped

kick ass subs.

These will be louder than the RF P1's. My cousin has the RF p1's and they are ok. I have had my Audiobombs for 4 years with no problems.

[Mannyb18b]

Audiobomb? Listen to CBFry's suggestion. an listen to nothing else. please

Can you tell me more about these?

I was just on there website and saw they're having a sale 12" are $75 and 10" are $55. Which one would you reccomend if I were to be getting 2? Also it says reccomended power is 250 W but RMS is 350 W. How much power would you run to it?

Just saw in my local paper some guy has 2 Eclipse 12" subs and a Phoenix Gold amp. I'll call tomorrow and get the specs and model # on them. Then you guys can tell me which is the better deal.

BTW: He's selling them for $350 OBO.

[AndonD454]

get back to us on model of subs and amp..

but ill tell you right now that those dub 200s are one of the worst sounding subwoofers ive heard in my life. and im not kidding. abahn sucks.

[tr10av]

Guess that stuff in the paper got sold it's not there anymore. So if anyone can tell me about the quality of the AA Assasins I'd appreciate it.

Heres a link to the 10's

AA stuff is supposed to be pretty darn good. I'll be buying 6 of there 6.5" mids here pretty quick for my next project...

[Mannyb18b]

an what project is that? AA is very good quality, great customer service also. The 187's would be awesome too, good call.

New mains for my dorm/home setup...

Most likely going to be three per tower, 2.5cubes 45hz, and a Vifa XT25 tweet crossed over at 2.5khz.

Or just two per tower and put a pair in my truck, not real sure yet, but the mains are gonna rock....

Assasin's = kcik ass drivers for the price. Meet and exceed RE RE's

RE RE's are good drop ins for JL w1v2's

Assasin's are really efficent too, i would actually put them up in the class with a w3v2 as far as output, ive yet to really get to analize the SQ but i have no complaints at all. In my experence with them they sound AWSOME.

Get what you can afford. Give them as much power as you can w/o destroying them thermally (over 350w RMS) or mechanically (giving them lessthan 350w RMS but giving them enough to bottom out or kill the suspension)

here are some pics.










there is a audiobahn vs assasin for you



they could almost stand to have a cast basket, very strong motor structure.


Another good suggestion ive seen is the 187's. i have no first hand isntallation experence, i can tell you they are loud as phuck for the price.
