DirtyPana Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 OK, First off i appologize. I did not know you couldnt "compare" nor "whats better" on this forum. I need some clarification then. Why allow polls on here, if that is exactly what they are for. Opinions and thoughts from others on what would be best. If you cant share opinions with others and ask what would be best then what is the point exactly in this community? Just to show off? Im really confused to be honest. I always thought forums where to help each other out and share knowledge amongst a group of people with common interest. Respectfully, DirtyPana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 sigh. since you asked in a nice way I'll actually answer you. The comparison threads turn into the biggest pissing contests between fanboys you'll ever see. Even if the brand they rep til death isnt in your choices they are going to try to shove it down your throat as the greatest thing ever. It gets out of hand when the DC fanboy throws punches at the AA fanboy who launches a sundown chair fanboy into the mix and the DD fanboy jumps off the top rope and lands a flying FI. In all honesty there is no best. There is no better. as long as you are comparing product in the same category they are going to be real close to each other. One may be louder in this install than the other and then you could switch cars and the other would be louder. In order to keep the peace we have disallowed them.

The past shows when you give the names of 2 or more brands a flamewar sparks up pretty fast... Explain your situation, what your lookin for from the system and ask what equipment would be good for your needs People on here are pretty damn helpful... its just the rules....

DirtyPana Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks for the answer n8ball2013. Makes a lot of sense. Some people do take riding their die hard brand a little too serious. Yes mikes_g6, I am a noob here. Guess what. At one point you were too. If I dont ever ask the question I will never know the answer. I should have been more specific. My bad. I do understand they are both 2 completely different subs and the system to power a SMD properly would need to be beefed up. What I was looking at was 1 SMD 18 on a mechman alt with 2 kinetic 1800 amp batteries. Now I havent done all my research on this completely thats why I came in here. I was more looking to power the SMD at around 3500 to 4k rms. The ride is a 2006 magnum and its my daily driver but i want to build her back up so I can show my work to others since I want to start my stereo shop again. Im no big time installer and I am full time air force but i enjoy doing it on the side. If i dont have a nice clean set up, then who would ever want me to work on their car? Anyhow. thanks again n8ball2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think the flame wars and fan boys are just the tip of the iceberg. You are comparing equipment when it is so difficult to say how something is going to perform in your install, your vehicle, with your power, and your electrical when all you ask is this sub or this sub. It's more of a waste than anything when besides what research you do, testing is your best friend. In the end, it is just an inefficient way of answering a question that can lead to more drama than needed. Not to mention the result is hardly going to be the 100% end all choice.
