JBurt09 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Alright so I got a guy that is just dying to have some bass.All he wants to do for subs is Kicker gear.I think there is much better stuff out there for the money and I would like for him to run with something like DC, Fi, Ascendant, DD, Sundown, AudioQue, etc. etc. He wanted (2) CVX 15s that I could get him for $329. He doesn't want to spend over $500, I know that for sure, and would prefer to stick around $400 for just the SUBS.I was thinking some DC Level 3 15s would pound, but I want to make sure they would be louder than the CVXs.I know DC rates their subs rather conservatively.What do ya'll think?Recommendations? Input? Setup will be going in a 2004 Chevy Tahoe and amp will be chosen after the subs are picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dro Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 DC > kicker or spend the 500 on 1 xl 15 and i guarentee it will be louder then the cvx's (depending on amp, build) trailblazer 18" xl aq2200 147.8db at 4 ohms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moh.vze.com Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Let him buy what he wants. It will be a well life lesson learned once he decides to 'upgrade' to new subs DC Audio - Singer Alternators - Knukonceptz - XS Power - Hybrid Audio - Rockford Fosgate - Second Skin Audio - SMD - Sundown Audio - Elemental Designs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBurt09 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 let him buy whatever he wants if he wont listen to you then show him up with your setup Ha I have done that before, and would do it, but it's a friend of a friend and he wants me to do the entire build.And I don't want a Tahoe, that has so much potential, that I built, to be riding around with a pair of Kicker 15s in it.I was thinking 1 DC Level 4 XL 18 would possibly be on that level as well, but I was looking for more experienced input with DC, as I have not done anything with the XLs or alot with the name brand in general.

finkster Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I would take the CVX over the level 3 if all he wants is to get loud. DAT 4125------>RE XXX comps active Eclipse cd7000 I serve drunks for a living Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uhoh_45 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 theres no need for an XL a normal level 4 would be more then enough for him especially with budget bigger sub = bigger amp = more money spent on electrical R.I.P!

sayhuh? Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'd say let him stick with the Kickers. Its also a lot of how the box is built and what amp etc etc..not just one sub vs another. (not all the time that is). Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
