im pretty sure the audiobahn has a much larger magnet than the alpine.

Answer 1

it depends on the voice coil design and not the magnet weight, also on the cabinet design, is it closed or vented/ducted?

Answer 2

Audiobahn spec=

power range: 50-600 RMS watts (300 watts per voice coil)

peak power: 1200 watts

frequency range: 23-500 Hz

sensitivity: 91.1 dB

alpine specs=

frequency response: 24-600 Hz

power handling: 200-500 watts RMS (250 watts per coil)

peak power: 1,500 watts

sensitivity: 83 dB

it depends on if you want quality or not, the alpine it a much higher quality sub but it does not play as low (plays higher) and doesn't have the higher of the RMS wattage ratings and it has a lower sensitivity so the autiobahn will play louder if supplied with the same wattage but it wont sound as good (clean)

Answer 3

I Would Go With The Alpine!

''Hope This Helped!''

Answer 4

of course it depends on both - voice coil and pole assembly and weight or size and strengt of magnet.

audiobahn has much bigger magnet cover maybe :D

they both are not good to choose. parameters missing and - ary you buying a speaker or some fashionable part of your car?

//edit

you cannot build speakers on these specs. they are talking about nothing good which gives you the idea what box to build. Here you have specs of speaker:

this is usable, and you can build your box based on these parameters.

I hate people which knows nothing about problematics rating everybody negative only because they haven't heart answer they wanted. They never get it.

Answer 5

for quality stick to the alpine type r 10in

Answer 6

the alpine is the way to go
