412 CVX Posted March 19, 2012 Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Well i hate to get into a brand war here. DD's are great subs, but IMO the prices for them are crazy. some people say it's worth it, some don't. if you're tight on space, DC and sundown subs work well in small boxes. I'm gonna attempt to fit a nightshade 18 in my trunk this summer in about 5 cubic feet net Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

Bump4life Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 all i can say is dont spend a lot of money on those 3512s and sufficate them. they like to move air. ive had experience with 2512s and tried a couple different boxes with them. i wouldnt go under 2.5 possibly a little more. but it also depends on power you are running to them and vechicle they are in. there isn't really a straight answer. it varies between vechicles as everyone knows. DD's reccommendations (2.5 net, 40 inches of port, 16 in^2 per cube) are what they recommend and will yield you good results, but you could find you get better results deviating from those specifications. use those as a starting point. just gotta try out different designs. or contact Pete @ PWK. He has had some experience with DD. haha. anyway goodluck, DD subs defintely know how to pound Quote Buyer/Seller Feedback Thread: http://www.stevemead...5015-bump4life/ MB C220 153 Trunk Car Build Log: http://www.stevemead...d/#entry1840136 MB C280 Ipad Dash SQ Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/194484-bump4lifes-new-benz-tony-c-relay-kit-pictures-ce-electric-audison-front-stage-installed/ My SPL Log: http://www.stevemead...__fromsearch__1 BMW M340 xDrive Stock, for now.

Azagtoth502 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 DD drivers require 2.5 cubic feet and 40 square inches of port area per sub, if you don't have nearly the specified space better get other drivers if you do post your maximum dims. im not sure who your shaking captn kirk head at haha... =/ dat ain't kirk it's Picard godammit Quote pa-pa-platypus sorry not everybody has a companies nuts so far down their throat they catch every drop ball sweat when it falls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC and DD both have great customer service over the phone (at least form my experiences) and yuo can easily order from if you don't have a dealer in your area. But since I run DD you know my vote. But you'll love the DC as well. In th end what do you want your sub to look like? cause both will bang.
