My point is that it's just not a pioneer / sony/ kenwood kind of recognition. Alot of these same people also don't know Xtant even though it's become a much bigger name ever since Tweeter picked them up (Tweeter is a huge nationwide custom mid-high end audio chain based in Massachussets, but down here they are Sound Advice- they keep the names of the companies that they buy rather than plant a new store that nobody has heard of, but remodel and inventory that purchased chain to mirror their look/stock).
SO yes audiobahn isnt a kenwood/sony/ pioneer name, but their products are just about on par with those said brands.

Not really. Sound Advice was purchased by Tweeter because of Sound Advice's high end standards in products, customer service, and store displays. Tweeter and Sound Advice stores have been kept noticeably different. Only now is Tweeter just beginning the evolution to catch up to Sound Advice's high standards that interested them in purchasing the chain to begin with. You'll notice over the next year or so a huge increase in advertising, as well as the Tweeter name becoming more evident in the Sound Advice atmosphere, eventually phasing out the Sound Advice name...which is probably for the worse. And Sound Advice has not carried Xtant for some years now.

They don't have Xtant? I should go back into one before I type LOL! I worked for Tweeter in the Boston area when they purchased Sound Advice. The funny part is, I left because I got in a huge "many bad words" fight with my district manager which ended in a quit or be fired option. But when I knew I wanted to move to Florida, I almost applied to Sound Advice, and that's when Tweeter bought them and wouldn't you know that district manager moved down to work with the new stores!!! I wonder if he's still there.

you say they are about the same on "PAR" well then how come my audiobahn 12"s i used to have that were 700 watt rms each pushed fine with a 2 channel 800 watt rms audiobahn amp A8002T but yet I long before had them running on a pioneer 2 channel "1200 rms" Pioneer amp and the subs wouldn't even hit....they were ohm matched n all, now if it was a "PREMIERE" amp it woulda been just as good as the audiobahn but it's be double the price on ebay. Just think about that for a while

But on another note, can you run a dual VC off separate amps? even with the same signal there's bound to be attenuation and variances which would create unidentical signals rite?
