How do the audiobahn subwoofers sound?

the audiobahn subs sound great, considering i only paid 250 for two 10" dvc subs and a 400watt 2 channel/800 bridged amp. i think the subs operating range is 500 watts with like 1k max. might be wrong though.

but yeah, audiobahns are pretty good quality, the baskets look nice too.

HIFONICS FTW!!!

Has anybody mounted a sub in the spare tire well yet? I'm thinking about custom fiberglass enclosure and a 10" speaker maybe. I don't want everything in the car to rattle, but seriously, the supra has 4" speakers (minus the 91+) I just want some low end.

yeah a lot of people have done that, but youll need to add a bit of reinforcement to it by glassing it. just make sure to take your time and do it right, and itll turn out great

:D you just may hear me, too, Clip :)

Unfortunately it's going to need about 8cu. ft of fiberglassed space for a ported box...I'm actually worried for the safety of my rear window lol

I may end up just going with 1 w7 for both cost and space reasons

Posted these pics many times, and before you ask, yes, I do still have the spare in there.

My setup will probably never change, and is much more than enough for my tastes.

Both of those are concerns that I thought about.

1. Heat is not an issue, I've checked many times, there is a ton of air space under there to keep the amps cool.

2. The carpet will be getting cut and an acoustically-transparent fabric will be stitched in above the sub. Also, for the record, carpet will do very little to muffle the low frequency vibrations of a subwoofer, and it is almost entirely unnoticable as to whether the carpet is covering it or not. (I've listened MANY times in the last couple years with and without and couldn't really tell the difference beyond my own percieved range of placebo).

Either way, it's been years since that setup was put in there, and I have no complaints and have had no problems whatsoever. There are no heat issues, and the sub sounds great. Some small changes will be made still, but nothing that will significantly affect the setup, so I doubt I'll take any new pics when I make them ;).

nothing to really look at now... my hatch just has a capacitor, a 4-ch amp, and my battery.... i'll be building a custom fiberglass panel and putting a subwoofer back there after my body work gets done.

but i love my custom rear speaker pods ;)
