I was thinking about doing a complete audiobahn system, I've always been a JL customer, but I need a change. Opinions???

audiobahn would be an upgrade in price but a downgrade is sound quality. you might want to look at alpine if you want a change but the same quality

Fist off i don't have any personal experience with Audiobahn products. I will tell you almost everyone i talk to who know about car audio doesn't like them. Check out www.sounddomain.com and do a search on this subject. You should come up with quite a few matches.

If you get Audiobahn... stick to their amplifiers and nothing else...

I second the notion that Audiobahn is far inferior to JL's or select other companies products...no doubt...

i wouldnt even go with an udiobahn amp, theyre very overpriced for the quality. All your paying for is the chrome on them

dude audiobahn and focal are 2 diff extremes...

figure a price point, what you want, and then have someone here try and design you something.

I can design all of my own stereo, that's not a problem. I've always been partial to JL and MB quart. That's what all of my systems have been built with. Now I'm ready to do this system. What do y'all think of focal?

Depending on what line of Focal you are looking at I would stay away from them. They are a high quality speaker, but for the money there are speakers that sound -way- better, metal or soft dome.

Speakers are completely subjective though. If you are a fan of a hard dome check out MB Quart QSD's, if you are a fan of soft domes I recommend Dynaudio, or ScanSpeak Revealators, sold under Alpine F1 or Genesis

Focal = Very high quality, no matter what part of the line you buy. I have heard good things about Focal. But the are really expensive. MB Quart = good, too, and a little cheaper.
