sup yall. i had a quick question i hope someone could help me out on.

first a lil story.

about 4 months ago i sold my both my Lv412's in order to pay for school. sold em for Cheap too. :sad:

they were running off a T-1500bd @ 2ohms, for getting about half the power each. they got loud (at least to me they did)

to make up for the lack of bass i bought two alpine type R's soon after. The alpines just aint cutting it though. My previous DC's got louder running @2ohms than my current type R's running off of 1ohm.

now that i came up on some cash i want to go Back to DC.(gotta support Rusty, since he was once a SR resident ;) )

here comes the question.

should i just get two Lv4's with D1 coils and run them @1ohm off my T-1500.

OR

should i pay a lil extra cash and get the Lv5D1 coils?

any input?

have you thought about getting a lvl4XL? you could do 1 15 or 1 18 on that power and it would do nicely.. *and before all the people jump in saying thats not enough power * ITS THE RMS.... YOU DONT HAVE TO GO OVER THAT IF YOU DONT WANT

i thought about the XL, one 15XL would fit, and it would be cheaper(i doubt one 18 would fit) But i just dont have the time to re-do my entire trunk/enclosure.

I'm not disagreeing with you. i have thought about one 15. ;) im just pretty sure two 12's would be louder than one 15?

two XL12s are a good amount of cash more. believe me if i could i would.

i just have to pay for the DJ at my brothers wedding in 2 months. that's my only dilemma.

at the moment my only options are Lv4's W/D1's coils OR Lv4's W/Lv5 D1 coils

on that power you could do level 3's

and just add 2 more later.

Really? you think i should go for two Lv3's instead of two Lv4's?

*I'm in no way questioning you, i've seen your build :ph34r: haha*

Right now i have a 4cu enclosure and it's taking up a good part of my trunk.

dunno if i can add two more Lv3 12's in the future.

a little bit of glassing and youll have 4 12's in no time...

:) and yes you can do level 3's if your subsonic is up and set all up right. just because you have 2kw doesnt mean you need it all :blush:

Pretty sure the lvl 4 coil does not come in a Dual 1 so a level 5 coil D1 sounds like a winner to me :) plus I've always liked being able to series at the woofer. And I would also get the level 4s and just keep your eye out for a bit more power down the road (if you need it)

Level 3s would be cool but I like the 4s quite a bit :)
