Will never purchase Audiobahn product again!.......2007-12-17

Product was great - at first. Then it died - spewing smoke and all! But things happen. So I contacted Audiobahn - and that is when it all started. They will not honor their own warranty unless you buy from one of their "authorized resellers'. This was buried in the product's manual and not even mentioned on the warranty card that I filled out and returned when this was first purchased. Many emails over a month long period provided no solution. The responses that I received from the "customer service manager" demonstrated that they had no concern for my business. I will go so far as to say that they were curt & rude in their responses. At no time could they come up with a reason for not standing behind their product. I refuse to do business with a manufacturer that has such little concern for their customers. Look elsewhere for a quality product that has a reputable manufacturer standing behind their products!

Amazon.com Product Description

Bring the noise with the heavy-duty Dual XNBP12D enclosed subwoofer, which features a carpeted enclosure, plexi subwoofer viewing window, and unique blue illumination. The patent-pending illumiNITE technology constantly illuminates the subwoofer with blue LED lights when it is in use. This box makes a simple and easy add-on for existing systems with no crossovers needed. It provides 600 watts of RMS power and 1100 watts of peak power. Dual's enclosure utilizes a specialized tuned-port computer-aided design to increase the output efficiency. The nailed and glued construction with added bracing is used to eliminate enclosure movement caused by high sound pressure levels. Other features include dual 12-inch Low-Q optimized drivers for loud, accurate bass, four-port dual chamber design, and a mirrored/diamond-plated chamber.

Tech Talk RMS versus Peak Power: Peak power is measured by a brief musical burst (such as a crashing cymbal) and refers to the maximum amount of power that a device can produce from such a burst. However, a more reliable specification is RMS (root square mean) power, which measures the maximum continuous power that an audio device can produce. With a higher RMS figure, your music will sound cleaner as well as louder.

i'v had these for a cupple months and theirs 2 things i didnt like about them. 1 the case raddles really bad, and really messes up the clean sould of the music. and the 2nd is that they dont punch that good. they are louder than anything but, its not a hard sold hit. its more rounded. i think it messes up the music. i would encourage people to buy some Punch 1's or 2's. for beginers, your subs dont need to be bigger. its the quality that counts trust me! i would go with something elce

Amazon.com Product Description

Recognizing that a subwoofer can make or break a home theater system, Athena introduces its AS-P6000 12-inch powered model, which ushers in a new era of performance and value. The sub features Athena's exclusive SCT rotary control, which makes it incredibly easy to integrate the AS-P6000 with Athena surround speakers. Simply match the model number of your Athena front speakers with the markings on the sub's dial, turn up the volume, and enjoy. Even in small rooms, the sub's rich, powerful low-frequency reproduction draws out the full impact and realism of modern movie soundtracks.

The AS-P6000 sports a down-firing 12-inch injection-molded cone woofer with dual ports and a built-in 800-watt amplifier designed by BASH Audio. The down-firing woofer allows for flexible room placement and the highest possible efficiency, while the dual vents work together to improve performance and reduce unwanted vent noise. And because the woofer faces down, it's safe from both prying hands and curious paws. More importantly, the injection-molded woofer cone is comprised of a composite, multi-laminate material designed to stay rigid during the most extreme excursion. At the same time, it's light enough to enable fast movement, ensuring an accurate and tight bass response.

In addition, the volume control is conveniently located on the front of the unit, making it quick and easy to adjust the volume. Other features include an auto on/off system that senses signals from the receiver and activates the sub accordingly, a bypass circuit that leaves the sub on at all times or turns it off completely, and a frequency response of 21 to 120 Hz. The AS-P6000--which is recommended for rooms sized 400 square feet or larger--sports a black finish and measures 13.3 by 19.5 by 20.5 inches (W x H x D). The woofer is also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Nice while it lasted........2007-08-23

Worked really great for 372 days, then it died.

At first I thought it might be a loose connection since it was buzzing, but no luck on that front. I even swapped to a different cable, reset the receiver setting, etc. but no luck. The auto-detect feature that turns it on when detecting a signal still works (light turns green), but no sound comes out no matter what the volume setting.

Athena SubWoofer AS-P6000, failed in less than 1 year.......2007-08-12

I have a 7.1 all Athena Home Theater system (AS-F2.2 fronts, AS-F1.1 surrounds, AS-C1 center, AS-B1.1 surround backs, and AS-P6000 subwoofer).
Performance wise, I am happy with my system including the subwoofer

Why the 2 stars then?
The subwoofer's amplifier failed about 2 weeks ago, 2 days before the expiration of the 1 year warranty.

I was able to reach an Athena Tech Support Rep by phone without being on hold. He was knowledgeable and pleasant, and referred me to an authorized repair shop in Florida (Simply Speakers), where they were also very responsive. I am still waiting for it but so far the experience dealing with both companies has been positive.

BUT... in the process I've learnt that these amplifiers are prone to failure, and if that is the case, a 1 year warranty is too short. The standard warranty for the other Athena speakers is 5 years. Subwoofers from other brands have longer warranties Velodyne 24 months, Polk 36 months. Boston Acoustics 60 months. JBL 5 years.

I was lucky (if you can call that luck) that it failed before the warranty expired... That still meant spending $60 in shipping and handling, plus being without a subwoofer for what I'd expect to be at least 30 days or more to allow for transit time and repair time.

So, I'd rather be "luckier" and have a unit that does not fail.

If it had failed outside of the warranty period I would have purchased a replacement from one of the other brands mentioned above, instead of sending it for repair, because in such case it would cost $60 S&H to send it, plus another ~$60 S&H to ship it back, plus parts and labor... It's not worth it versus buying a new one.

AS-P6000.......2007-05-08

+'s: The AS-P6000 product is fairly good, Bass response is very good, speaker is decent. Life on the AMP, that is another story. -'s: I'm waiting to see if they back up their product.

AS-P4000 amplifier died .......2007-03-21

My AS-P4000 amplifier fried 1 week before the 1 year warranty was over (thank god). The rest of the components carry a 5 year warranty but I was worried from the day I bought it.

I use the speaker-in inputs as opposed to the line-in because my receiver doesn't have a sub-out (O.K., I know, time for a new receiver). Anyway, I didn't push this thing very hard so was very surprised to discover it wasn't working one day.

I like and own other Athena speakers but probably wouldn't buy another of their subs. In any event, they've been bought out by Klipsch (since Klipsch bought API who owns Athena).

Save Your Money.......2007-02-10

Not impressed. Rarely used and only watched around 10 movies until the amplifier died. The sound was not great either. The subwoofer alone is cheap. Looked at it and laughed. The warranty on this is not good. Be advised. Find a good company with a good warranty. Stay away from this company.
