    mtx is known for loud ass rumble and audiobahn is just generally dissed on round the clock. personally i'd go with mtx just from general experience.

    this one had 800 watts going to it.in a SOLID 1in thick box.and it hit pretty darn nice for a single 12.

    going to as many shows as i have i've also heard my fair share of crap set ups with good subs in bad boxes.

    it looked good.....thats all i could say about it.it should have been louder than it looked.

    bad analogy.....toyota makes a real good car/truck.

    now if you said mercedes compaired to a old dodge...lol.

    but as for quality/life span ok you make a good point.

    if it doesnt get abused/overdriven all day everyday it sould last a while.

    this is just for azn:did you know g monk keeps blowing his subs?his thing may be more on the abuse side. i.e 4100 watts per sub all day...blasting.they dont last more than a few days in his rig.

    his are good name brand........it all boils down to abuse.if you beat em hard they will break.
