Pro7 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well I had my local shop make a box for me this last week and they installed everything for me too. So I got my car back on Thursday night and when talking to the guy who installed it he said that my level 4 15" is going to want more than the 1500 watts that it is getting from my mb quart amp I have. He went on to say that he would guess that 3000 watts would be a good amount of power and I told him that this is my first real system so I didn't want to go too much over board and blow something from inexperience especially since the sub is rated at 1000 watts. When he heard me say that it is rated at 1000 watts he looked at me like 'no effin way, you don't know what you are talking about' It made my day seeing how impressive dc subs are. Thanks DC for making such an outstanding product! I'm from Sioux Falls SD and no one here has heard of DC so I will rep them to the best of my ability to try to get converts! (I'll try to get some pics up later maybe tomorrow of what I have) Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ18 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Good to hear, but dont listen to them. That sub wont like 3k very much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro7 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Yeah I'm gonna stick to 1500 I only go there for them to make the box and install it. I don't trust their judgement on alot of things but they have good craftsmanship Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 he probably thinks in max wattage. 3k isnt 3k. 1500rms is about all i would feed a level 4, and it is plenty to reach full potential in the right enclosure.

windowtinter Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) A clean clamped 1500 watts to a upgraded lvl4 (5 soft parts) after that your making extra heat. no upgrade 1000-1200 the single tinsel leads will probably be the fist thing to go if you start adding more power. recobe to a dual1 and run the quart amp at .5 ohm scope it clean and watch what that sub can really do. if your wired to 1ohm now your actual piwer is probably in the 700-800 watt range Edited January 22, 2012 by windowtinter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found this situation funny so I posted it not really looking to change anything Quote I've gotten a blowjob and picked up my iphone behind her back to see what email notification I got from smd before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
