AI James Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Product: Level 4 10" Manufactured by: DC Sound Lab Purchased/received from: Rusty (DC Sound Lab) MSRP: $459.99 but can be had for much cheaper from your DC dealer in your area Decided i wanted to run something small in the explorer for a while since i have a newborn and im really glad i did. I'm in no way affiliated with DC Sounds company, but i would like to take this time to say that Rusty has a GREAT product here and i will recommend this piece of equipment to anyone looking for a great product with a budget. Its installed in a 6th order bandpass originally designed for a 10" XXX i was planning on running. Installed it today on an amp thats well under the RMS rating of the sub (1000rms) a Crossfire VR600d (600rms). Pro: works well off of well under rms power great looking sub real robust sound sub company wise probably the best experience i have had with a company for customer service. Con: not really a con at all but i personally like triple stack magnets for aesthetic purposes. The chrome on the motor scratches pretty easily in my opinion Loudness 142.0 on the dash Gucci Mane - Street Niggas using peak hold on termlab 139.8 30 second average SQ: Blends really well will my RSD components, i was able to play everythign on this sub with no eq tweeking, which i loved, as im the type of person who fiddles with settings on every damn song. Cost to Performance Ratio - 10 out of 10 will be real hard to beat this sub loudness and still sounding great. Performance - 10 out of 10 above and beyond what i wanted out of it, very happy with the sub. was expecting loudness that i recieved from it, but was pleasantly surpried with the quality of the sound from the sub. Customer Service - 10 out of 10 Great, willing to talk on the phone, answers my emails in a timely manner, and is great about shipping exactly what i want when i want it. Repeat buy - 10 out of 10 definitely will be buying more for another build i'll have in the works later on. Overall Score 9.5 out of 10 Great pricing for a sub that sounds great and is LOUD even off well under RMS value. it would be a 10 if the chrome was a little more sturdy, but once its in the box its not like that matters whatsoever anyhow.
