Does it sound good? If it sounds good, I'd say it was a decent deal. That's all that matters really. $525 is pretty cheap for a complete system.

those boxes put too much stress on the subs and you most likely will blow one sooner or later if you play hard hitting songs loud.. trust me ive done it..

well 4th order bandpass boxes are hard to tune but since it is a loaded box audiobahn might have got it right on the money... then again its audiobahn so i should assume its crappy like the rest of their equiptment

depending on the amp it might have been worth it... bandpass will usually be quite loud and boomy so im assuming your happy.... just run them hard and try to blow the subs before audiobahn goes bankrupt

My audiobahn eternals haven't given me much grief, except they weigh 35lbs a piece, but my kenwood amp sucks *****. i can't wait to get a new one so i can take this amp out back and shoot it.

I like Audiobahn, but not a fan of prefab bandpass boxes. even from the manufacturer. they need to be very precise. even if it sounds good, it could be damaging your speakers without you knowing it. I've been torn between self-made bandpass, ported/vented and sealed. i change my mind about 3 times a year. FOR NOW, i'm running four Infinity 12" subs in their own sealed boxes. good luck, though. hope everything goes well for ya. keep us updated.
