DC vs. IA


Recommended Posts

Posted

so i've heard a couple people talking about IA and DC. i heard DC is really good, and i kinda like the look of them. but i heard a couple people say that IA is a bit better with the sound. is this true?

i thought there were no this vs that threads allowed?

either way both companies sell amazing products so just pick one and go with it

i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?

well no, this isn't really a vs. kinda thread. i just heard that IA hit lower and sounded a bit better then DC and was just wondering if it was true.

Didn't Mp3 Pimp do a direct swap form level 5s to Death Penaltys and go up dbs? Either way, theyre both great companys I run DC and have a bunch of buddies that run IA. And it does take alot to keep up with em..

Mp3 pimp did a swap from level 5's to IA death penalties and his peak note when down 7hz and he got a couple points louder.

No he went down in score but his peak went from 42 with the DC's to 35 with the DP's from a direct swap and he lost .6 dB

as far as comparing the two, the 5's were louder overall, i like em a lot, even down low.

these are much stronger down low in my application though. ive never had flex like this before, and i love my lows, so i like these better,

they are .6 db quieter, but the peak went from 42 to 35, so i expect that.
