D-train-13k Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 im not trying to bash, but you say youre not a nub, but you just asked if the dc 5k does 5k to each sub.... I appreciate all input. I posted what electrical i will be running for the amp. and i was going with the 5.0k because ive seen one level 4 handle 3.5k. But i accept all sugestions and critiques! and remember, just because one man does it, doesnt mean you can... either it was a burp... or the damn thing was not pushing out 3.5k daily. it would have tore that sub up in a heartbeat.

Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 so lets get this straight, do you have level 4s or XLs, because the title says XLs, you mention XLs a few times, but then say level 4s with XL coils are XLs.. for some odd reason, its just stuck in my head you have level 4s.. and if thats the case, please refer to what i said in one of my previous posts. If that is not the case and you do infact have XLs then get the 5k, because they can handle it just fine Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall....... I just realized Steve has reach Voldemort status, over on JP's site he is the one who will not be named....."We dont speak his name over here, fearing it will destroy us" LOL not even in hush tones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I appreciate your help because I'm either going to stick with my 4's and get the 3.5k or get 2 XL's and go with the beastly 5.0k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team_DC-Derrick Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 2 level 4s and the 3.5k would be a sweet *smaller* setup, its HUGE compared to most non car audio forum bassheads.. but around most forums, 3-3.5k is the norm, it should do alright as long as you get a sweet box made Quote The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

dbslayerdrake Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 yeah and I feel 3.5K will be good enough for me right now I'll just do the XL and 5.0K upgrade once i need a bigger fix for my bass addiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-train-13k Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 glad to see we could help save you from blowing your subs apart, just remember to set your gains correctly. clipping on that 3.5k will fuck up your subs in a heartbeat Quote The IrishmanCheck out my build hereXL 4th order wall build logIn Progress:alpine cda HU4th order Bandpass2xl 15's1- ab 400.1 (gonna be two hopefully)4- Crescendo 8's2- xts crecendo supertweeters 2 sq super tweetsMb quart 4.125Mechman 270a alt1- xs D27003- xs XP3000 4- odessey pc1700seller feed back threadhttp://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/136418-d-train-13k/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siccostyle Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I ran my lvl4's with lvl5 soft parts on a DC 5k and they took it all day long with no problems at all. Not to say that would be the case for you but it worked for me.
