99vic Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) im looking to get some more subs, i have liked the look of the dd subs for a long time. i have seen a few that dr.db has installed and im wondering the difference on the 3500 18 and the dc with lvl 4 that i have now. gotbass seems to think they are not as good as dc.and double the price..from the specs im thinking the same but hoping they are better. im looking for opinions from someone who has used both or has knowledge good on both.i dont want to downgrade.but i dont mind paying more if its a better sub. bangin caddy whats your opinion??

n8ball2013 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 ive never heard a sub that was louder through all frequencies. I did a direct drop in with a RE XXX and the DD 9515 shit all over them. May not have sounded as good as a XXX but it shit on them. Ive never had DC to play with but I'm a firm believer in DD and even have a pair of 1508s to go in my daily once I can get a box built and stop spending money on my house.

Decaf Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) dc lvl4 xl... little more than the lvl4, little less than 3500 in $ u know dd is good... but i have a feeling u will want to give them more than 1200rms (dd) ive yet to hear dc, but i heard a bunch of dd and its likely the installs that kept me from justifying the high price tag... but i was never that impressed for the $ spent Edited July 7, 2009 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LT.Smoke Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Dd subs are beasts and have been round 4ever but havin worked with both i would suggest the XL 18 SMALLER price tag and a wondrrful sub and they will get down and dirty. just 2 pain a picture i did a demo with a lvl 4xl 10 in a tline box on 1000 watts and did a 151.0 at the headrest in a 96 accord Quote Team MaxRetribution Si Vis Pacem Parabellum Id rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 Bowhunting- Life Begins and Ends at Full Draw Bowhunting Team Fatal Trajectory Hunt Team http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/49335-sick96vtecaccords-t-line-build/?hl=sick96vtecaccord << Accord Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/68498-smokedout08impalas-tline-build/?hl=+sick96vtecaccord << Impala T-line build Rebassed.com for all your music needs 👌 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
