That's where I got mine. I loved the box, the one on ebay's not mine, just don't know if I wanna spen so much.

I got a GREAT deal on mine. Since it was a discontiued model and the last one, I got it for $300.

The cheapest I've seen the above JL box is $600.

If you think you can help out though, that would be great!

I love my 12' audioban subs...I am pretty sure they are the same just in different box. Mine is ported and sealed though.

I'm getting the audiobahn. $235 shipped. At this point I can't see spending $600 for a new sub.

Just need to figure out a way to change the blue neon to red.

JL makes some of the best subs, you will not be disappointed. I have 1 JL 10W1V2 and it sounds great.

i wouldnt like to be mean since i am kind of a new guy here, but i do know my audio. the Audiobahns will not satisfy you. they are inferior to JL, Alpine, etc... the company alots a failure rate of 40% for their premier lines, while a company like JL does not tolerate 20% for any of their lines. it gives the company a bad name. Mike, you should inquire with your local CS and ask them about their Tent sale, it should be this coming weekend or later next month. if that is your budget you may want to price our W3's maybe 1-12" sub sealed and give it 3-350RMS and i promise you would be satisfied.

another nicely built sub with a great pricepoint is from www.ficaraudio.com
if you need more info, feel free to pm me, i am pretty sure i can help in this field

This box looks cool and if the funds permit later, you could always put different subs in that enclosure later.

That's what I'm thinking.

Eventually, I'll have the whole interior custom done, but tyhat's a few years away.
