SnowDrifter Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Well, SMD's are gone. Right now I'm looking at the DC lvl 6, DD9518SC or the z, but realistically I think I'm gonna wait to see what AA has coming out for the new SMD. I don't see them downgrading from the old one. If I can find a good price on some DD's I will prob get them. Hey bud. I just noticed this thread. I've been doing mad research just like you in terms of replacing my SMD's and what options there are. DD9518SC will take that power for minimal periods but nothing extended. DC Level 6 I have no clue. DD9918Z will handle the least amount of power. It's a 3" coil and even though it's Neo that doesn't give it magical properties in terms of handling power. I've been talking to DD and they recommend 3.5k-4k daily for the Z. However, they can take huge amounts of power for bursts(10k according to DD) I'm leaning towards going more efficient over what can handle more power. But I'm not in the type of situation you are with cone area limitations. IIRC there is a 4 inch coil Z. There is a guy on here using them ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 The 4 inch coil Z is a proto type, at some point it may or may not be available. A 4 inch coil would be the way to go IMO as well for this kind of power, a 3 inch coil you better be good at doing recones, cuz you will go thru em.

bassface Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 What difference does the vc size make, ive seen some morel 12's with 5.1 inch vc's and they can only handle 1000w rms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMI CUSTOMS Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Because the 4 inch coils "we" are talking about handle 5k+ A 4 inch coil has more metal then a 3 inch coil(obvious), more metal means more surface area to shed heat, heat is the enemy when you are talking daily and 7k in the same sentence, simple as that.

But seriously any Neo is out of the price budget given. Even the Level 6's might be with team DC pricing... Might've been a bad idea to change bro!

CJ18 Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Whoever said the dd z 4" proto, if you want to shell out like $3000 for one sub, more power too you. I will challenge you though, I will take the same $3000 and buy subs and amps and be louder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if I have to I might run 4 15"s. The Budget isn't set in stone at 2k, just close to it. 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
