| illvibe's Full Review: AudioBahn AW1200 Car Subwoofer |
This needs to be told. Yesterday I got my new 500/1 hooked up. Within 5 minutes it became scalding hot and went into thermal protection. This was with the gain set low and no bass boost on at all. I called a professional and he explained to me that Audiobahn subs send current back to the amplifier. The proof? Hook them up to a Jl audio amp and watch the Low Ohm light blink everytime the bass hits hard. Needless to say, I was devastated. I've been using a 250/1 for over a year and I thought it overheated because it was just small. No, its the subs fault. I sent the 500/1 back and exchanged it for 2 Jl audio W3's. Some might think I'm crazy for doing this but I just dont have the money to remedy the problem any other way. Basically, dont buy these subs. Go with a trusted brand like JL.
