Opinions on Audiobahn Recievers

[rodney]

i was looking at this (http://www.cardomain.com/sku/ABNA1250N) model to go along with my ipod. just wondering if any of you guys have one similar or have heard good/bad things about them. thanks for any info.

You're asking for opinions on Audiobahn equipment? Man, are you going to get it!! lol

It's cheap, bling bling stuff. Stay away from it.

why in the hell would you do that when you have so many better options for 270... i'd take jensen over it anyday.. i mean c'mons... audiobahn headunits?!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You can do much better for that amount of money.

Honestly, that looks like a 3 year old Blaupunkt... 'Nuff said.

buy a jensen if you want crap quality... it'll be 200 cheaper and the same satisfaction...

you guys do realise you're being huge assholes about this, right?

rodney - this (http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIODEHP7700MP) HU will be less expensive and of much much better quality. i dunno about the ipod thing, but if you do a little looking around pioneer's site (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com), you can find their ipod hookup kit. then, since that'll take a bite out of the budget, use this (http://www.cardomain.com/item/PIODEHP6700MP) headunit and you'll STILL get better quality than the audiobahn, plus your ipod capabilities.

if the pioneers don't appeal to you, check out alpine and kenwood as well - both of those companies will also offer better products at the same price point. do some looking around, you'll find what you need.

oh, and if you need a list of a couple places to start looking: go here (http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/dhuston/audioindex.html).

that's why i quit my job so i don't have to put up with audiobahn flip-outs and audiobahn this, audiobahn that... audiobahn pisses me off therefore I can be an a** to anyone now.

our manager though the flip-outs were going to be totally sweet...

maybe if those flames on it simulated a fireplace and put out real heat in the winter I would consider buying audiobahn.

not just an a**hole,
but fed up as well!

Yeah, I think the general consenus around here is the best place for any Audiobahn equipment is at the end of an anchor chain.

-adam I hear ya man... that's why you'll find me on the home audio side of things instead of car like I used to be in the past. But Home has it's issues as well (DAMN YOU HTIB'S!). But at least no one wants chrome everything with 4 15's and a pair of "tweets."

But it has to be installed in someone's car while I'm pissing on it...just to prove my point a little more. "Hey man, what do you think of my new setup??"

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

[audiobliss]

It was not at all my intention to be rude. After looking at my post again, I can see that it wasn't exactly helpful, though I did answer your original question.

However, what Neo says is right: look at Pioneer, Pioneer Premier, Alpine, Kenwood, Panasonic. You'll get a lot better quality out of one of their HUs for about the same amount of dough.

Let us know what you get.

And if you have any questions regarding the rest of your set-up, just ask; we'll be glad to help. As you can hopefully see by looking at past threads, we're usually pretty good about being helpful.

Yeah, but for every moron that wants 4 15's with chome tweeters you have just as many that want the $200, RCA home theater set ups.

There are still plenty manufacturers out there with SQ as their primary goal.

MB Quart
Image Dynamics
JL Audio
Polk Audio
DLS
Xtant
Boston Acoustic
a/d/s
Dynaudio
Audison
Focal
Morel
Tru
Diamond Audio
Arc Audio
Alpine

...just to name a few.

Hey, in your mouth is better than in your chest :) .

One of the ladies at my job went to a retirement buffet type thing for someone else at work. She ate too much and the stuff wanted to come out. She tried to hold it in and basically tore a hole in her esophagus :eek: . The good thing is that she is still alive, this type of thing has a high mortality rate.

Bottom line, LET IT OUT :eek: .

...ewww........
