77-AUDIO Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Not looking as to why one is better than the other. just want to know what you would do if you had the options. Amp Setup will be the same for all. 1 - DC 2.0K Sub options are as follows. 1 - 12" Level 5. or 4 - 8"m3. or 3 - 10" Level 3. or 2 - 12" Level 4xl Just want to know why you would do it. I really want a clean system with a nice sound...

MrClean636 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't know the specs for the 8"m3's so I can't really tell you there. But you would be underpowering either setups with a single 2k. For the least amount of underpowering, three 10" level 3's would be okay, probably providing you excellent output for the power. Clean power. As for clarity, that's all box. Quote Car: 2011 Ford Taurus SEL / Alt: DC Power 270XP (Will be here 7/17!!!)

77-AUDIO Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 i will be running the 2.0K at 1ohm or less but not lower than .5 ohm daily on 14.4 volts Quote PPI dbl dinDC Level 31.77cubes net tuned to 33htz.DC audio 2.0kCT Pro Audio 8" in front, 6.5 in rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Names_jeff Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) You would be under powering each set up by alot, especially the lvl 5 and the 2 xl 12's. Defiantly need a bigger amp for those two. Now, im not sure the specs on the m3lvl8 but if anything that may be the closest match for the power your running Edit: and remember, you more than likely after rise and whatnot, wil not see the FULL 2,000 rms from the amp.

That1Kid Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Not enough power, in my opinion. 2 Level 3s would be golden on 2k. I have a BC5500 on 4...they have taken the abuse for several months now. Quote -98' Ford Expedition (Rest in Peace) -AVH-P3300BT -Crescendo BC5500 -4 18" DC m2 Level 3.

CJ18 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Out of all of the options, I would go with the 4 8s. That is going to match the power you have the closest. Everything else will be grossly underpowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
77-AUDIO Posted January 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I know When I had my 3 10" level 3's on my old SAZ-1500 it was Sweet and no clipping wired to .6667 ohm. I really want the new 8" coming out but not sure on a release date. And CJ you know the Actual size of the level 5 i am talking about. Plus I might start upgrading my electrical to allow me to run 2 2.0K and several batteries.

Everything else will be grossly underpowered. I have 4 DC 8"s. obviously not the M3, but was running them on my Memphis 4K at 1 ohm. After box rise the subs were taking it like a champ. I think 2k on 4 M3 8"s would be severely under powering. But thats just my opinion. But out of the given choices that's what I would go with.

kr15 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I would do the 4 8s or 3 10s...The 10s are more cone area and would allow you to wire to .66, the 8s however could be wired to .5. I wouldnt even consider the other choices with the power on tap Quote Team Flex Issues Low tuning > God 2011 CALI AS1 STATE CHAMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corona_jeff Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 All being said, no choice is ideal, as they all will be under powered. If you insist on those choices the 8s or 10s would be the better options, however my suggest is a single Xl or a pair of lvl 3s on a 2k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
