To bring the product to market that excites the consumer through
sound and vision from an orientation of integrity and customer service. We
make you look as good as you sound. We strive to take car audio to an
extreme the world has never seen, and a world that never stops evolving.

Audiobahn was established in 1997 with one long-term goal in mind,
"Build it Bigger, Badder, & Better, and the people will take notice!" We
back this statement with an engineering team that has brought home several
Innovations, Design & Engineering Showcase Awards, and a marketing team
from around the world that spends countless hours developing our no
compromise products to satisfy the most discriminating enthusiasts.

Our global manufacturing facilities feature ISO9002 ratings (the highest
level of quality control awarded in the electronics manufacturing industry), fully
robotic assembly lines and a state of the art, California based R & D
laboratory.

Due to overwhelming response from our competitors, and our goal to
participate in even more events this year, we created *"TEAM AUDIOBAHN."
This organization is designed to create a support network along with shirts and
perks for team members. "TEAM AUDIOBAHN" is not only for the diehard
competitor, but also for anyone that loves car audio as much as we do. With
four levels of play, one is right for you to get started in the Audiobahn family.

Our Technical Department and entire staff look to strive above and

you happen to be a veteran competitor, or a beginner car audio enthusiast
who does not know a voice coil from a spider. We are all her to help you get
the best system you can with what you have.

Judge for yourself, and remember what it's all about,

"If it's not

Bigger, Badder & Better, it's not Audiobahn." If audio is your life,

Wiring And Hookup

�

The box can be wired in 1) a stereo configuration (each sub wired to a different channel) or 2) a mono

configuration (both subs wired together to a single channel of an amp, or two bridged channels of an
amp). Looking at the back of the box you will see each side's terminals. The left terminal is negative (-)
and the right terminal is positive (+) for each set. If wiring in stereo mode, you will have a 4 ohm stereo
load. If you wire the subs together in mono mode, you will see a 2 ohm load if wiring in parallel, and an

8 ohm load if wiring in series. Please see the Tech Tips section of this manual for wiring diagrams.

The mounting position of your ported enclosure will have a great effect on the sound performance produced.

TRUNK MOUNTING

Placing the box in the trunk provides a good overall performance.

PASSENGER COMPARTMENT MOUNTING

Placing the box in the passenger compartment provides optimum sound, but reduces the area for passenger
seating, if not taking it all away.

LOADING

Facing the box towards a wall will increase the low frequency sounds. When mounting in a trunk or back of
any vehicle, you will tend to get much better performance and better low end frequency response when you
face the box towards the back of the vehicle.

MOUNTING

Mounting or securing the box is a good idea. This will prevent the box from sliding around. If it does move
around, it can hit obstacles, and wires can come loose and damage the system. It is also good to have it
secured in case of an accident so it is not thrown into any passengers.

You can mount the box by attaching brackets and fastening it with screws or bolts straight to the frame or
other solid piece in the car. You can also use velcro strips. Attach the sticky side of the velcro to bottom of
the box, and the carpet in the vehicle should hold it in place.

How to receive warranty service: Contact your local Authorized Audiobahn Dealer, or call Audiobahn at
[phone] between the hours of 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM PST.

If you are having problems with your system, we recommend you check the product carefully and
thoroughly to confirm that the product truly has a manufacturer defect; as opposed to abuse, or other
components in the system causing the failure. This might include having an Authorized Audiobahn
Dealer look at the product to confirm the source of the problem. Any product found to have a
manufacturer defect will be replaced with a new piece of the same or similar model, or repaired at the
discretion of Audiobahn. Any product found to have no manufacturer defect will be returned to the sender
at their cost.

You must acquire a Return Authorization Number ( #) prior to returning ANY product to
Audiobahn. That Return Authorization Number (RA#) must be prominently and clearly marked on the

outside of the shipping carton, or product delivery will be refused (no exceptions will be made).

Please note: All shipping and handling (to and from) charges will be the sole responsibility of the
consumer.

Please record and keep your Return Authorization Number (RA#) in the event that further communication
is required.
