Level 5 Vs Btl

[Team_DC-Derrick]

i dont think his are hooked up to anything at this time

but theres numberous post on this forum showing that level 5s can take a beating daily on large RMS wattage

James FTW, I cant wait to see that beast with the level 5s in it

i have 2 fi bl's on stock electric right now. im lookin at getting an explorer soon and running my first big boy system. im thinking 2 18" btl's or level 5's. prolly each in their own 7 cube box tuned to 34ish hz with an AQ 3500d on each of them. this is for daily use only. idc about comps. i want some input on if i should run the btl or the level 5.

either option you go with will do very good, i like DC because of the customization you can do to the dust cap, and the DC logo. Both are very good subs

yeah i asked this question before and everyone seems to say the same thing. i got my taste of Fi, and i liked it, but i kind of think i might wanna try dc just so i can expose myself to new brands. in my high school of 2200 kids, theres about 5 kids with systems and im the only one not running sony explodes lol. so i dont really have any exposure to anything other than my audiobahns, fi, and a friends mtx.

either option id make your boxes smaller with that power

well, like i said DC offers custom dustcaps and stuff like that, go down to the forum for DC at the bottom and check it out they offer some really sick ones! Rusty is on all the time as well and he is very awesome to work with

i wont always be running close to full tilt. i save full tilt for when im drunk haha. ill be careful. do u say make the box smaller just cuz i could fry them?

A smaller box will raise the mechanical limits of the subs...I would go with DC just because of the customer service. I emailed Rusty about running LVL 5's and I had an email back in about 10 minutes, really great guy.

yeah ive exchanged emails with him, hes been very prompt with getting back to me. and about the box, i thought a smaller box would restrict the subs more than a larger box, hence making them less efficient. so thatd be pretty much the same as having a big box while keeping the power down, right?

They do restrict the subs, that's why you can rum more power to them. Bigger boxes are more efficient, so you can get loud off of low power...Personally, I like my boxes to the big side of the recommended volume. But I don't run much more that rms to my subs.
