Lmmfao. You may not win SPL comps with "Walmart" pioneer subs. However, if given a choice I'd personally prefer pioneer, they have some of the best frequency response on the market.
Pioneer make good speakers but your comment said it all Walmart must be like England's Poundland.... I would never buy speakers from Poundland much less Pioneers, you know they are bottom of the bottom bin
@BlackJedi169 they also sell Kicker, Power acoustic and other subs. And well they are the "economy" line from the brands, not everyone is looking to shake a vehicle apart. They perform well for their price point and no one goes there to purchase audio to compete with.
That would be really cool to have everything cleaned up The original audiobahn cone and surround. Spider motor everything swapped out for some quality parts. You will have a 1of1 Autobahn sub that would be super quality.
I agree. I had some 10’s (2) with a Kevlar cone and a 200 oz magnet (2” treated foam surrounding, obviously) that kept up with Kicker Solo Barric 12s on Rap, but whenever I switched to rock/metal, I BLEW them out of the water!!!The setup was in a factory bass exp box, not close to my ideal box. I went downtown MPLS, and got mad props when I was rolling around playing Marilyn Mansion by anyone who had a system around me! I just wish I would’ve put them in the box they deserved! They were WAY too good for that cheap @ss box!
I had their subs and amps back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. They were super loud and had tons of bass but weren’t good for sound quality but we didn’t care about that back then. They were super popular back then for those who couldn’t afford Kicker and Alpine or at least here in Florida.
My buddy was a dealer back in the day. He hooked it up for cost (cheap). Had two awt15x in an extended cab frontier. Huge ported box tuned to 28. Not a single person told me those subs suck. They do suck, a LOT of juice when playing the lows.
Audiobahn had a handful of models that WERENT garbage, but the majority was just simply consumer mass marketed chrome crap to which they were flooding the market, which was already having a tough time from the economy, as well as manufacturing being shipped over seas. Anyways, in general its almost all style no substance (well...eventually some illegal substance lol). The 90's/early 2000's were more about the 'EXTREME!!!' marketing, flashy 'girly' ads, and sell as much product as possible. All that being said, you got a hell of a deal for $10. I dont have the car audio directory for this models year, but the next closest model is the AW1805, which retailed for $629.00 in 2000. Definitely worth a rebuild.
Yea i went to an audio tech show once with all the big name manufacturers there showcasing their new new and ab was there but was showing a damn tube speaker right when they released one of those.. fosgate brought a hummer with a fosgate square speaker wall which the fosgate square was never released but thAt hummer hit so hard it blew lights out in the warehouse on the ceiling like 3 stories up.. the only thing ive sat in where you literally could not take a breath when it was hitting..
I think Audiobahn rode the band pass Box wave. Certain setups, with the right amp, in the right vehicle style, bumped to high heavens. Ppl saw these anomalies, and wanted the same shiny chrome in their ride.
I just scored their big brothers, the AW1208T. In the box! I loved my aw1206t’s. They destroyed my P3’s (USA made) on super low power. 97dB efficiency is no joke. If I ever run these aw1208t’s with their 280oz motors and 3” coils, I think they’ll need a little more, but nowhere near the claimed 1500w rms. The tinsel leads look like they’d die at ~800w.
What are your thoughts on old speakers degaussing over time? From what i know ferrite motors can loose effectiveness over time depending on use. I've seen those huge gaussing machines and it seems like you can just give them a quick recharge but i also like your ali-x neo slug idea, that should definitely turbo charge that motor.
I still got 4 AMD60Q's (6.5") in a BP4 enclosure in my son's apartment. He's using it for home theater. I originally built the enclosure for a 1996 Ford Ranger SuperCab. I also had it in a 2001 F150 SuperCrew.
I have two of those with PSI recones on a Zapco C2K9.0 and have a couple 1st place trophies playing music. For years I had them inverted in a 12cuft box in the back seat of a S13 240sx showing off the chrome😂
I had a set of audiobahn 12s when i was like 17 in highschool they were the models that had the chrome baskets that cut into the shape of flames. Came in a ported box that had a a plastic or plexiglass panel so that could see into the box. As a kid it was coolest design youd ever saw
I know they had audiobahn Immortals and I think the step down were called Eternals.Apparently they were winning competitions back in the day with the first wave of decent rockford fosgate and Alpine subs
Yeah i helped a buddy build a monster setup for back in the day. He was using 3 eternal 15s and 3 of the biggest MTX Mono Blocks I wanna say 1200 watts each at 2 ohm. 250 amp alt and 3 huge XS Power cells with a giant optima red top under the hood all in a Tahoe 2 door. Replaced all factory speakers with Clarion Components and a MTX 4 channel amp each sub had 3.85 Cubic feet ported at 30HZ. He got a 152.3 in 2003 which was absolutely banging out of control back then.
I had 2 13" audiobahn alums on two earthquake 400x's. Loudest car in the city. Definitely moved plate windows and concrete. Aluminum cones kept them cool. Earthquake amps were class ab so at 3 ohms each they were well over the birth certificate specs
As a fellow Kentuckian I have the perfect amp to match the sub. A big old Audiobahn HC series amp with the UV meters. No idea if it still works, but it’s yours if you want it.
Man, I was a lead installer for the guys who owned AudioBahn, and EVERY sub we sold came back blown! EVERY SUB!! No matter how "pretty" they looked, all of that ish was TRASH!!! The owners said so themselves....LOL! Good from far, but far from good! And of course the one you bought was blown....🤣🤣🤣
I seen one of these for sale a while back, didn’t buy it, but knew what it was. I’ve been an audio junkie / bass head since I was a young teen in the late 90’s. I honestly won’t hate on the brand, it wasn’t all that bad for the price. Could you get better? Of course, but you could make do with Audiobahn, MA Audio (sibling company), etc, and get some good bass in a good box, it was also usually a lot cheaper than the better stuff, and even cheaper than the big name brands equivalent models. Example, buy a JL Audio W0 12 for $120+, or the Audiobahn 12 for $60 at a flea market. The Audiobahn 2" coil handles about the same power and you can buy two for more cone area. Lastly, I'm sure there were plenty of non-bass heads that wanted the chromed out cosmetics purely for aesthetics, and you couldn't get that with most other brands, to each their own in that regard. I don't really care what the stuff looks like if I get it cheap enough. 😆 I'd probably consider building that sub with the stock motor, and just try the coil that you can find, I personally wouldn't bother with Temu magnets. $10 was still a decent price for it even blown.
I used to sell Audiobahn. Some of their stuff was great. The original "Immortal" series had quad voice coils. They performed great. I had 2 of them. Then, they went to shit.
We had 2 18 Audiobahns on a 2300hc and we competed in the 600 watt stock class. We hit 159-160.5 on average. We were Texas state champion multiple times.
@@Bangbro4000 its was Usac i think thats how its spelled. Our suv was sponsored by them. I only had to pay 20% of wholesale. We had the other series 18s. Paper cone. Was a Duel four ohm speaker 🔊 the 2300hcx we had was a flame shell. Looked amazing.
The 10s I had were AW100XS. Had them in sealed boxes and fed them with a 1000w amp. Hit hard enough to make your heart beat all funny. One finally blew a voice coil. Also lost that channel on my amp. Not sure which took out the other. Still have them. Would love to get them one repaired someday.
@@shadymaint1 I had to look those up, those are OG audiobahns. Super cool! If I could find a proper voice coil I could rebuild it. It’s just one of those things, you don’t know the size until you open it up
Especially the big flame Q’s. Most people get the aw1206t the small flame Q with 140oz motor. I just got a pair of the aw1208t flame Q’s with the 280oz motor and 3” coils. They’re in the original wood boxes. Idk if I want to power them, collect them, or pass them along. I got them for a good price. Coils read at 2ohm perfectly, and there is no wear to them. Just dust from sitting in an attic for years. I’m sure they’ll be fine. I got a pair of absolutely beat on aw1206t flame Q’s awhile back too, and they still bumped so well it was surprising. Ended up giving those away to a younger Basshead. He’s loving them. Might have to give him these 1208’s and a bigger amp.
I got one of the lower end powered ones similar to a bazooka tube shape laying around that was gave to me... So long ago I can't remember who gave it to me. I had to repair the box of my kicker cvrs so I temporarily slapped it in my car. I called it the fisher price sub 😂 Maybe I should look inside 😅. I always had the perception at the time they were gaudy/lower quality. Basically the upper end of the flea market brands.
I use to put audiobhan up with high end stuff. They sold them at circuit city. But I always thought they sounded great. I was unaware of all the hate until this video.
First Immortal subs were crazy. Eternals were good too. I had 1208q 1206q and quad Immortal 12 and the dvc Immortals. Matter of fact Alma Gates was at a nopi show when Kenny hit a 156 with my subs 😂, i remember seeing the jbl crown amps in her bronco
Had 2 awt12x subs under a raised back seat. Also 2-2400 watt amps. 1 for the each of you😂. Downfired and sounded great. 143 4 db. In a crew cab truck... pretty damn good sq also. But not as good as as a jl12w6.
Audiobahns were indeed the sh*t back in the day!! 2005 I broke 2 records each in 4 diff states so that's 8 records broken in total. Went to world finals in Kansas City Missouri for the USACI world finals professional competition. Placed 3rd in Legal Port Wars. DB. 164.3 SETUP 4 PRO COMPRESSION PISTON 12'S in a 02 single cab Ford Ranger (had bed ported 12's in the bed of truck ported to the cab) 6 Optima Yellow tops batt 1 oversized car batt under hood 1 Ford F350 alternator 1 400.4 Audiobahn Amp 1 MA Audio 4000.1 Amp 1 Kappa Series 6.5 component Mids/Highs After World Finals Audiobahn gave me a consumer sponsorship!!! Cause I was not sponsored at all when I competed ran consumer class. Competed in Consumer Port Wars and Consumer Dash Watt class 0-900 Dash DB ratings 154.7 2005 was a fun year thanks Audiobahn!!!!!!
I had an alum 12 q in a ford ranger 1000 rms could afford the amp to push it hooked it up getto style and still bumped hard. Sold it with the truck wish I had it back.
@@bobdodge3171 Jacob fuller has banned me from buying from him so I can’t use his magnetizer lol. I’m actually close to eminence loudspeakers so I need to see if they can
I’ve been looking for this sub myself , but they quite rare lol I collect old school equipment myself, and have a couple videos on amps on my channel nothing edited like your videos Rebuild it bro nice project
I got an alum15Q dual 3 ohm for 50. That thing was CRAZY sensitive in my S10 and so smooth but overkill on 1k watts. Sold it for $30, went with a 12 but I miss it.
I'd give my dual kiçker loaded l7 box for 2 12in eclipse aluminum's with no box. I love aluminum subs, and back in the day, no one made prettier subs than audiobahn
@Bangbro4000 I have no clue how many sold but I do own both.. And the 18" motor is I believe 13¾ wide Weighting about around 80pounds And the 34" motor alone Weighting about 115pounds and 15" Wide
Can you machine? I have experience with these.. the LOB 5" coil is too tall (winding height) for a 10" spider, you will need to machine the spider ring ID out to support an 11" or 12" spider. If you try and use a 10" spider with that 3" tall winding voice coil, it will rip the spider. Also, if you have never messed with building neo motors, I can't even begin to state how dangerous it is.. especially one that size. I almost lost a finger to just one 3" N45 puck that got out of control. It is one of the few things in this world that will put the fear of god in you. You usually either need elaborate jigs for the assembly, or you have to wind a field coil around the motor and energize it to counteract the magnetic field of the neo magnet.
@@Bangbro4000 some off the shelf ported box I don't remember which one it was I believe the wattage was 3,000 Watts. I still have it I want to find parts to rebuild it.
Yea why not neo swap it, rebuild and recone the thing with kevlar and tune a box for it? Do it up and use it as a trampoline for the kids.. or sell it to the dude who was shittin about that wally world professional extreme bass (tr)amp..
@@ps3hincada noooo I love this thing! lol. There’s a guy on eBay with one, but he also has a blown one. I offered him $150 and he debated it but said no. He may be more willing to part with it now
Hello, I have 1 complete bad VC and 1 is taken apart and the Motor is missing cone and basket. I am in Ohio. I will sell mine. Please let me know. Thank you, Lavish
He don’t kno what he talking bout Had 2 15 on the first power acoustik 3500 u could hear me from blocks the guys I got em from had them on a 350watts rms amp in a Honda u could hear them every night when they pulled up at the apartment complex they would shake the windows I finally let My Brother use them and he got them stolen out his suburban he had them on 2 of my 1000 alpine amps They they also made some great amps just costs to much for me at that time the good old days when you could take four pioneer Impp’s and beat the block
@@Bangbro4000 I know they did, not very well deserved. The bass in most modern songs is so dirty that it almost doesn't matter what you choose for your daily anymore.
They weren't bad Subs or amps they were middle of the road brand that was shiny and look good for the Fast and the Furious crowd they weren't bad they had some decent stuff but you always have them haters if it's not JL Audio or Rockford it's trash hahaha haters I'll take some Jensen and Boss speakers and whoop your ass

@@zezzy3 I def will! It’s slow going with the day job going on but I will eventually
He didn't get caught with a billion dollars, worth of dope, just 1000 keys!!!
I’ve been looking for this sub myself , but they quite rare lol
I collect old school equipment myself, and have a couple videos on amps on my channel nothing edited like your videos
Rebuild it bro nice project
Skar is pretty strongly hated today. Maybe do a vid on why. I cant make sens of it. I like the EVL and VXF
because the owner screwed his vendors and customers for years...
he still owns it..
Nitro bmw 3512 /3812 sub and some nitro amps would be cool to see
@@thatguykai479 oh I haven’t seen those in forever
@@Bangbro4000 yea recently found the nitro bmw 484 I think it does 1200 on the label 0.03thd not to bad 350 rms I think in all reality
George is the man
I got an alum15Q dual 3 ohm for 50. That thing was CRAZY sensitive in my S10 and so smooth but overkill on 1k watts. Sold it for $30, went with a 12 but I miss it.
@@somenamelessdude8095 I love those. The aluminum cones are just sexy
I'd give my dual kiçker loaded l7 box for 2 12in eclipse aluminum's with no box. I love aluminum subs, and back in the day, no one made prettier subs than audiobahn
My first subwoofer was a audiobahn, the coil got loose From the cone and made a huge dent in the cone , feels like a lifetime ago.
Good to know they included gifts in there subs for the price
@@kitcat2559 factoring that in they were REALLY good deals 😂
Fr the pimp my ride subs 😂😂😂
No need to awnser, but can i ask why you always has that headset on? Btw i like your videos keep making the good contect.🔥🔥
I still have my 1st system, 2 AB’s inverted in a AB BOX and a AB Amp! 😂😂😂
@@MoToArchY can’t get any more AB then that lol
Also the 34" and 18" aren't same motor.
Yes they both use 5"coil but the AWTX34 Has a bigger motor
@@ps3hincada I didn’t know that, I read it was but I guess that’s wrong. I also read they sold 400 of the 34’s
@Bangbro4000 I have no clue how many sold but I do own both..
And the 18" motor is I believe 13¾ wide Weighting about around 80pounds
And the 34" motor alone Weighting about 115pounds and 15" Wide
They used to make really good subs and amps I had 3 of there 12s in my car back in the day
I had a audiobahn 12 back in the day and first week I blew it apart. The spider ripped all the way around the cone it was bad quality sub.
Audiobahn had some decent sounding subs. I’ve never had an issue with them
@@christopherhofheins2763 yep they really did
I have 2 quad coil inmortal 12s they are badass subs
@@Obslstahoeon26z damn I’d love to get one and test it out
Can you machine? I have experience with these.. the LOB 5" coil is too tall (winding height) for a 10" spider, you will need to machine the spider ring ID out to support an 11" or 12" spider. If you try and use a 10" spider with that 3" tall winding voice coil, it will rip the spider. Also, if you have never messed with building neo motors, I can't even begin to state how dangerous it is.. especially one that size. I almost lost a finger to just one 3" N45 puck that got out of control. It is one of the few things in this world that will put the fear of god in you. You usually either need elaborate jigs for the assembly, or you have to wind a field coil around the motor and energize it to counteract the magnetic field of the neo magnet.
I had one of those and their big crome amp. I don't think they sucked as bad as some people say.
Not sure about the rumors but I made 172db with 6 of those 15''s in a DB drag truck walled not terrible but we did blow them beating on them hard.
Still here for when it's goes on ebay 🤞
I really want to see it working
I had one and it was f****** awesome.
Hell yeah. What was it in?
@@Bangbro4000 some off the shelf ported box I don't remember which one it was I believe the wattage was 3,000 Watts. I still have it I want to find parts to rebuild it.
Put that motor on the machine to juice it up...bet that gaus will be higher
Используй его как пассивный излучатель
Back in the early 2,000s, used to pair the lower line with Nitro amps.
Flea market specials
I want to hear it.
Ive never even seen this sub and I fuck with audiobahn idk maybe I have I use to spend hours looking at subs online
Bahn before the flames was decent
Audiobahn was for the people who drank Natty Ice.
Alright I subbed dammit 😂
@@MikeAnnunziato man I really appreciate it lol. I don’t take that lightly, stay tuned I’ve got more stuff coming
Yea why not neo swap it, rebuild and recone the thing with kevlar and tune a box for it? Do it up and use it as a trampoline for the kids.. or sell it to the dude who was shittin about that wally world professional extreme bass (tr)amp..
ive done a couple of them and they are easy to do .
Bruh you need to test it
people that say they aren't sq id argue that..
Would you know of anyone with a infinity kappa 100.9w subwoofer for sale. Love the look but can't find one. Until the next video💯💯
Ask Brad Newsome...he owns Legends of Car Audio. If theres an old product he either has it or can get it
SELL IT TO ME!!!!!
@@ps3hincada noooo I love this thing! lol.
There’s a guy on eBay with one, but he also has a blown one. I offered him $150 and he debated it but said no. He may be more willing to part with it now
@Bangbro4000 I don't blame you I love audiobahn myself! I collect them.! They are awesome they are the underdogs
@@Bangbro4000 let me get that link maybe I'll get it off his hands
Hello, I have 1 complete bad VC and 1 is taken apart and the Motor is missing cone and basket.
I am in Ohio. I will sell mine. Please let me know. Thank you, Lavish
@@lavishness5132 definitely interested how much we talking and you'd do Shipping?
He don’t kno what he talking bout Had 2 15 on the first power acoustik 3500 u could hear me from blocks the guys I got em from had them on a 350watts rms amp in a Honda u could hear them every night when they pulled up at the apartment complex they would shake the windows I finally let My Brother use them and he got them stolen out his suburban he had them on 2 of my 1000 alpine amps
They they also made some great amps just costs to much for me at that time the good old days when you could take four pioneer Impp’s and beat the block
Talk to Patrick from Robot underground
Cool 😎
@@RyanBassForLife thanks man!
This better than the immortal sub ?
@@cristovalmontoya5222 they didn’t make an immortal 18”. But looking at the 15” specs. It’s an spl beast. I wouldn’t say better, just very different
No, audiobahn didn't suck. Even their old models still produce cleaner bass than some high end new models XD
@@MillennialRebelion yeah seriously. I was on the forums back then, and the hate was WILD. I mean they really hated them
@@Bangbro4000 I know they did, not very well deserved. The bass in most modern songs is so dirty that it almost doesn't matter what you choose for your daily anymore.
😁👍
I have 1 complete bad VC and 1 is taken apart and the Motor is missing Just the cone and basket. Monsters I would have loved to bang them!
I have my flame amp and 10s
restore it!
They weren't bad Subs or amps they were middle of the road brand that was shiny and look good for the Fast and the Furious crowd they weren't bad they had some decent stuff but you always have them haters if it's not JL Audio or Rockford it's trash hahaha haters I'll take some Jensen and Boss speakers and whoop your ass
