Hopefully. All bling and no substance. There are MUCH better subs out there.

Do you get full Theile/Small parameters with the sub? Have they been confirmed by a 3rd party test?

I've always been a fan of the Dayton drivers from PE. The DVC 12" and 15" are built by Eminence and the Titanic series is built by NSA Labs (both are great build houses). I haven't used the newer Reference series drivers but the reviews are great and DIYMA tested it on a Klippel and confirmed that the specs are in fact better than published - link.

Besides 3rd party testing or a great build house, I will also put my trust in a driver designer. Dan Wiggins has been involved with the design of the new Exodus Audio drivers. If anyone is planning an IB, the DLP-10 is on sale for $65. Besides Dan, Scott Atwell (Fi Car Audio/Ascendant Audio/Epik Subwoofers/formerly RE Audio), John Janowitz (AE Speakers/formerly Stryke Audio/Lambda Acoustics), Deon Bearden (formerly TC Sounds/formerly AE Speakers/formerly Klipsch), Stephen Ponte (SVS/formerly TC Sounds), Mark Seaton (Seaton Sound/formerly Danley Sound Labs/formerly Servodrive) are all great designers and I would purchase a sub from them based entirely on reputation. Finally, customer service. Companies like Soundsplinter (Mike), DIY Cable (Kevin), Mach 5 (Mark), Sundown (Jacob), IA and even ED (Ben - there are some haters on the different forums) will take care of you and sell a good product at a good price.

Was AudioBahn not a good brand and why so...?

If you liked inferior quality with only emphasis in rumbling bass, then Audiobahn is great.

is this true or rumor?? Their US sites may just be down. The number still works (714)988-0400

Any amp with a hood scoop "air intake" to cool itself must be good. I don't know if they sounded terrible but they definitely looked it.
