cjm86 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I'm starting a build with tax returns and I was gonna go with SoundQubed subs but I changed my mind (which I may do again) and decided to go with DC, mostly because they require small boxes. I've narrowed it down to 3 setups to choose from. Whatever I pick with be powered by a Q1-4500. Out of these choices what do you guys think will be the loudest to the ear, but also sound good? I'm not chasing numbers. Car is a 2005 2dr Cavalier. (3) Level 4 10s (All options) (2) XL 12s (All options) (1) Level 6 15 (All options) The 10s and 12s would be facing into the cab and trunk would be sealed off. I would like to do the same to the 15 if possible (I hate trunk rattle), otherwise the 15 would be sub up, port back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triticum Agricolam Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 This is probably going to get flagged as a vs thread, which are not allowed. Here are some things to think about: 1. Nobody can tell you for sure what will be loudest, there is just too many variables. 2. If you don't need to put that power to one sub, I would recommend dividing that power up amongst multiple coils vs trying to push it all to one 15" 3. Two 12"s has the highest amount of cone area of your three choices. 4. Firing subs up in a trunk car is no bueno.

MotorCityFats13 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 ill say that 1 and 2 will be louder than 3.... and 1 and 2 might be a tie.... I hang with a couple people that run single 15 XL's and its plenty.... yes its way louder than my lvl3 12 but those same people are impressed with my systems sound because of the large amount of cabin space.... I also went with 1.75 net tuned at 33hz and I am feeding this thing power like a buffet..... either option you decide I cant see DC letting you down as long as you can feed it tons of juice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjm86 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I forgot about the "vs thread" rule, my bad. I'm leaning toward the 10s or 12s. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 hello I think this threads not vs because its the same brand but idk This all comes down to personal preference but that level 6 can take a minimum of 4500 watts 9000 PEAK and youre talking about one Q4500 so that might not be enough to really get the full potential Personally I like a single level 5 15" mostly because I currently run a 15" SP4 and love it And the level 5 is a proven winner http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/178103-ubl-project-dgaf-the-smdc-audio-tercel-4-15-lvl-5-walled-18v-dc-audio-90ks-early-spl-results-pg-2-detachable-podium-page-3-43015/ anyways goodluck with your decision!

cjm86 Posted October 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 I've never had a chance to hear DC subs before, and the only dealer that sells them that I know about in Sacramento doesn't sell them anymore. But I don't think I'll be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
