Meeting or exceeding RMS on a subwoofer


Recommended Posts

Vince you will be fine if you run a Nightshade off of that amount of power. On music I'm not putting much more than 1400 watts to each of mine and well you've heard the car. I change a couple of things for a burp and that's why I make quite a bit more power, but I don't need all that for music.

The only issue really is price. The Nightshade is 2X the woofer of the Level 4 and the Bl so it's obviously going to cost a bit more. It's just not really fair to put the other two in the category with it unless they were close in performance.

Email Jacob @ [email protected] and talk to him about buying a sub directly from him. You may be able to save a little bit of money that way and get what you want. On the other hand if you wanted to save a few bucks and still get a badass woofer you could get a Z15. Jacob is blowing out the stock that he has right now so you may be able to get a very good deal. Not to mention that a Z15 is more at the same level as a Bl and Level 4, but I'd still be willing to bet that it is a tad better due to my bias

Alright zack i think you sold me haha I have been in love with the nightshade ever since i sat in your car and DJ's truck. I would like to find something on the cheaper side but I think I should just wait a little while and talk to jacob after i rebuild the jeeps axle.

The Nightshade gives him the ability to add more power down the road. If he only gets a Z15 then he's honestly at his realy safe limit on power right now. Like I said in my post I run maybe 1400 watts to each of my Nightshade's on music and can still bassrace 149.9's with them. I also plan on helping Vince build a box so it will be setup right.

yea i am going to go with a shade like i had planned in the beginning just wanted to see what people thought. i think it would be more practical also because i know i will be planning on stepping the system up in the future again anyway i mean who doesn't haha. that way i will not have to get a new sub when i get a bigger amp.

but memphis amps work well with mtx subs

I LOLd

I'd go with the Lvl 4 for the proven performance and top notch customer service.

Although all of the woofers mentioned in the first post are very strong drivers

Thanks everyone for all the feedback i appreciate it I love all three even though i have only heard sundowns and fi's i know just from everyone talking about dc on the forum that they are a great company as well. when push comes to shove i think i am going to go with my sundown boys since there are a lot around me and i have been in a couple cars with nightshades.
