b2 has some very nice SQ orientated subs that still get very loud when you want them too. The big b2 guy down in Texas built a killer demo build with the 600w IS series subs.

Dd for sure is not the only quality brand out there.

To me though if you're just doing something small buy whatever it is that you like that is within your budget.

You don't have to buy the most expensive thing to get quality but you are going to pay more for quality subs.

Another thing to consider is the space you're ok with loosing because one brands sub may work better in that space than another brands sub, there are many things to consider but I always start with space available and power that I have available.

That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.

I've been interested in those subs, Any more info or link to the build.

almost sure it was built by Texas Status. I don't know a lot about the build but I imagine there is some more info about it on facebook. He's had several setups in that thing

That's how I feel. DD amps are legit. Subs on the other hand, there are better ones out there.

I'm very dubious about marketing. Just because the company says "SQ" io wonder how SQ they really are. I trust more in user reviews than what the manufacturer has to say. thanks for the input.

It depends what one means by quality. My Hybrid Audio I6SW was a bit of a disaster. Quality SQ sub like I've never experienced before or since. However, the build quality was atrocious. From the cone coming away from the basket

To the frame being so flimsy it bent and buckled with amazing ease.

SQ - Any recommendations for an SQ sub from DD? Some say 3500 series, some say 2500 series. Any comments?

If you are going sq the substage is the last of your worries. Spend your money on the mid and high stage. You can get by with a single sub in a sq setup. Look at DC Audio they have some nice subs that sound good in a sq setup or spl setup.

Of course front stage is important, but is there a particular DD subs for SQ? I not going to buy a Z-series although once again, they seem to get a lot of SQ praise. Any comments on the 2500 or 3500?
