DC Audio lvl 5 m3 T/S specs


Recommended Posts

sorry to bring up an old thread! but does this mean that the lvl won't be the best choice of DC audio gear to use in a 4th order? From what i was reading, the lvl 4 12 would be best? i was really looking forward to using 1 lvl 5 instead of 2 lvl 4's to save space in my car =(

The nubers show that it is not ideal for 4th order use, however I have four lvl 5 m3 15's in a 4th and it is nasty, plays lows (25hz) and does a 162.6 @ 51hz. I was worried that I chose the wrong enclosure for my subs but once I got the sealed side and port area correct I stood corrected. BTW, Thank you again Jeff for getting me on the right path!

nice! I saw the thread that you made about it.. wasn't sure if you went through with it or not.. what size or ratio did you end up going with for the sealed and ported sides? do you have any videos?

I went with a 2.2:1 ratio but thats not really important. What I have learned is to get the sealed side correct ( start big and shrink from there) and get the port correct. Lot's of testing , removing subs bla bla bla. My sealed side is right around 2 cubes per sub

Hmm ..ok I think I have the space to go with the same specs.. The reason I'm asking so many questions is because I'm going to a shop to do this build because it's the BMW and I hear that the signal is fiber optic making it difficult to work with.. Also bmw electronics are really moody with electrical so I don't want it to fall on me if I F up lol

I've seen them work with 4th orders a lot with w6's and w7's and recently sun downs.. But I'm not sure they've worked with dc and I don't think they'll be able to play with specs so id like to go with as much info as possible lol.. do you have a thread with your build so I can look at your box for ideas?

You are not asking too many questions, I will gladly share what I have learned, which isn't much. Good luck with the build
