DC Level 4 12 or xl?


Recommended Posts

Watsup guys, i've been checking out the SMD forum for a while now. This is my first post, been a basshead ever since i bought my first crappy woofer when i was about 11 or something. I live in Rotterdam which is in Holland, that makes me Dutch and proud of it.

Anyway a couple days back i sat in my buddy's Audi A3 that does a 143.6. He has 2 12 JL audio W6's on a Ground Zero 1.5000 SPL.

Loved it! i NEED that in my life on a regular basis haha.

Just bought myself a new ride (Volkswagen Golf Mk6 GTI) and now figuring out what i'm gonna put in it. I'm looking to buy a DC audio Woofer, probably a Level 4 12 or a 12 XL.

If my electrical is taken care of and i'm pushing it with a quality amp (not yet sure which) Will a Level 4 12 do 144dB? you guys think?! or should i go with the XL. Or something different all together?

Much appreciated!

its all about the box. if you get a good design, or design it well and build it strong then yes its possible esspecially in a small hatchback car. look around the forum, check out some of the member builds and ask questions. good luck :drinks:

thnx for the input! I'm going to study up on some enclosure design/builds

I found a importer that can deliver both the Level 4 12 and the XL

Prices:

Level 4 12 : XXX

Level 4 12XL : XXX

Thats both without the cost of shipping it to my house, so i think the XL would be $200,- more then the Level 4 when all said and done. Is it worth it you guys think?

just been told not to put prices in the posts, my bad!

The XL´s, still my stand. You know it, if you buy the lvl 4 and you meet the other guy with these XL´s, u want to sell ur lvl 4.

Lot of real good critics here on forum about the XL´s and espacialy compared to the lvl 4.

And u can make a 100 Euro extra, rent me ur appartment for this weekend, long time ago tha ive been in Rotterdam. Want to see again the seaport, one or

two museums, a knock off spliff in the coffeeshop.
