yeah and if I did I'd definatly get my ass fired and fined sorry man

this kid that works there has a 2,500 watt amp audiobahn flame series, that thing takes up the entire trunk of his 91 integra, and the subs hit like a semi with no brakes, think he said he has 3 15"s Audiobahn

I had good experience with Audio Bahn and i liked them more than anything in my car. I had them powered by a Sony Xplod amp which really sucked but the base was so clear. I would go with audio bahns but i think Alpines will do it too.

best buy gives you a lot more discount its whatever they get it for plus 5% for example you know that clifford alarm top of the line (the one with the pagesr and all of that fancy stuff) its priced at $500 with my discount is only $177.28

I work at Circuit too, our discount is cost. I'd say go with the Audiobahn's or maybe the MTX 8000's, or the 9500's.

There is not even a comparison between the two companies. Audiobahn is Junk. It belongs in a dollar store. Sure it looks good but thats all. Alpine is a High-end company they make a quality product for a decent price. I've had so many customers with audiobahn come to me and listen to an alpine or jl and got rid of their equipment to upgrade to something better. You can go with the audiobahn but you'll end up regretting it

yeh i agree wiht travismitchell... audiobahns are loud n all... but the sound quality from my experience, just isnt that great.. the subs hit but not cleanly if u kno what i mean.. id go wit alpines... or if possible with jlaudio or kicker.. if u want to go somewhere else than circuit city..

gluck!

I've got JL's but I think that they're just ok. I liked my Fosgate's better, IMHO. I know, I know, I'm a basshead. Never have been an Alpine fan though.
