> [@badazzss](#): > > i disagree sir. my amp, cap, and 2 subs are audiobahn, all from ebay, and they outperform many of the similar JL, Fosgate, and Kicker items. you’re right though, they do look good, and they’ve lasted many years. > > i really think you might not have a clue what you’re doing, since if you knew anything about car audio, you would understand that the first thing that should be changed is the HEAD UNIT, since that puts out the POWER (signal) to the speakers. > > also, unless you need something VERY specific, i wouldn’t ever recommend trying to build your own box, simply b/c you can get quality custom fit boxes for tons of applications for CHEAP. wake up skippy! Well what I can say is… I am not going to argue with someone who has no idea what they are talking about. You may have a bias opinion about Audiobahn because you have them. So I will stop there. I have been installing Stereo systems for my friends and I for over 8yrs. I will say you are right that the first thing you **_SHOULD_** change is the head unit. But you do not have to. And from what you said, I can gather 2 things. 1. You have little to NO experience in the Car Audio business. 2. You cant read, or you would have seen that he has not told us what he has for a head unit, so my question was very VALID. ---
