brownm3 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Ok I currently have 2 12” Kickers. I was thinking about getting a custom box built to hold 4 12” Kickers but I decided to go more power, considering my space. So bye bye kicker. And I have my eyes on 2 12" DC Audio’s Lvl 4 or 2 12" XL. At first it was definitely the DC Audio Lvl 4 (FTMFCSW) just based on my current system I would be better able to handle 2k watts but I am thinking should I just get the 3k watts and hold off with their install until I get the money for a new H.O. alternator and battery (plus battery for trunk)? If I got the Lvl 4’s I would have them up and running within a week but the XL’s might have to sit for a month until I am at least able to upgrade alternator and stock battery. So what do everyone think? I am interested to hear people that’s that have gone Lvl4 and upgraded to XL. I assume you loved the upgrade but how noticeable was it. I know the lvl 4’s should do the trick but I think eventually I want like to get the XL’s. But maybe the Lvl 4’s will blow my mind….. Oh I drive a 2006 Mazda 3.

DC is great it all depends on you do you want to wait or have it a.s.a.p. I would go for the XL's . you have listened to the kickers this long I would hold out a little longer. but that's just me Quote Hi SMD Members If anybody has computer problems and is an SMD member with at least 150 posts I will fix your problems for free by phone support or I can also fix your computer over the internet....

tonedeaf Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Lvl 4s wont really take 2k daily. An XL will. At about the 1500-2000 watts a piece is when i'd look to XLs. Im a firm believer in getting the top subs and upgrading power as you go. A FUCKTON cheaper then gett lvl 4s and 2 months later having to up to xls because your 4s cant take more power. Likewise from xls to lvl 5s and that goes for anything. I think you would notice an decent increase moving to the XLs once you have the power to feed them.
