DC subs to choose...:)


Recommended Posts

OK, I'm in the middle of building my 1st real planned out system. I just bought 2 sundown sae-1200d's (check ebay as a lot of them are listed BNIB if anyone is looking for fairly affordable amps in the 150-200 price range) so now I have to decide on what subs to buy. I was looking at lvl 4's or lvl4 xl's, but leaning to the xl's as I may upgrade to more power in the future...Thanks.

HU - Pioneer MVH 7350

Processor - Helix DSP

Front Stage - JBL P660C

Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4

Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12

if you are sure you are going to get more power, spend a little more and get the xl.

Yeah...I will probaly upgrade to a 3000-4000 watt rms amp within the yr (fosgate t4000, sundown 3000d, or dc if I get enuf money:)), but thats not a definite as I'm paying thru college and it seems surprise set backs like popping up....The only problem I'm trying to avoid is buying a sub and having to upgrade later down the road and shelling out more money:( but thnks for input so far :) fast and friendly

Why waste your time with this tool? His system sucks, that's all there really is to it. My toilet puts out more low end and flex than that thing!

So if no amp upgrade no one would suugest xls? reason i ask is the lvl 4's r rated at 1000 watts rms and the xl's 1500 and my current amps put out rite at that halfway mark about...so was curious as to the reasons one would choose one over the other...how do the two compare between output and lows? sorry to be bothersome, but not being able to hear any dc subs beforehand I want to try and get as much input as I can. I know it mostly depends on the install, but trying to have the best bottom line possible for a good sq/spl setup and work my way up from there...Thanks!
