level 4 18" or XL 18"?


Recommended Posts

Right now i'm running on an SAE-1200D and these puny little 12" subs and I thought it would be a good time to upgrade =] I just wanted some opinions on which would work better, since im not sure if the 1200D will satisfy an XL. what do you think?

oh yeah i'm definitely sure the XL has more performance, but like Ih8tpunkrok up there, I don't think it's enough power. I don't know if an underpowered XL would give me the same results as an over powered 4. I know the SAE-1200D is underrated just as these subs are.

it doesnt matter what amp you have now, if you ever plan to upgrade amps you wont have to upgrade subs down the road if you get the XL, the 1200-1500 RMS from the 1200d will be a nice break in for the XL

i vote for the XL

x2, I second that, then you can get a second 1200d and strap em on that XL.
