Kicker Guy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Sorry but I don't completely agree with you guys on the DC>Alpine theory. The woofer at hand is the DC level 3. Sound Quality Alpine Type X>DC level 3 SPL Alpine Type R>DC level 3 I will agree on the higher end DC driver's being better for spl than the Alpine subs, but the Type X is a far superior sound quality sub than those in the DC lineup. This is coming from a person that has actually heard both the DC level 3's and the Alpine Type X's. Spl wise the Type R may even be a challenge for the DC level 4. Those who have used the Type R's like myself know exactly what I'm talking about. Did I mention that I've also used the Level 4's in my car and would take a Type R over it anyday. On another note the reason you can't call up Alpine and talk to the owner is because it's a multibillion dollar corperation. I'm sure that Rusty would love to have a fraction of the customers that Alpine has. So instead you get people at Alpine that are making minimum wage answering the phones who really don't give a shit about you in the first place. DC is different and I'll give them that. Rusty is a hell of a guy when it comes to answering the phones and talking to you about his product or whatever it is that you want to talk to him about. I am speaking about all this from experiece unlike some that just down something cause it's cool to like a certain brand.

Noobtastic14 Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 yeah the alpine does exactly what it was designed to do- take a few hundred watts and move some air. as far as SQ the R is almost as bad as the squares, and the lvl 3 has much more potential, just takes a bit more power -Drew I am a United States Military Arts and Crafts Professional.

Nightshade Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 It's no surprise with the DC logos in your sig. Might I add to each his own, and I was just giving my opinion on the matter since that's what the topic discussion was about. Myself, sound quality comes second to spl. That's why I would prefer a Type R over either the DC Level 3 or 4 cause I've metered louder with the R's than two Level 4's with Level 5 coils. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee I can get a Type R 15 louder off 1500 watts than you can get your Level 4XL 18 off of 3000 in yours. 2013 VW Jetta GLI 2.0 Turbo 1 Sundown Audio SCV2000 1 Sundown Audio X15 V2 1 XS Power D3100 Audio Control LC6i Stock Deck 146.4 sealed on the dash at 37hz 2001 Focus ZX3: RETIRED Team Sundown Audio, Team XS Power, 2 time NSPL Car 3601-Up Champion, 2 time NSPL Car Hardcore ChampionHighest NSPL Scores to date:154.3db on the dash sealed at 46hz, 156.2db in the kick at 46hz155.2db unofficial on dash at 43hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
