Which of these subs should i go for?


Recommended Posts

Hey guys i've decided on getting a DD 512B, is this a good decision?

Thanks.

i would recommend getting something a little better than that if you can get sundown over there i would look into the sundown sa-10 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SA%252d10-Subwoofer.html buy it straight from that sight of you can.

or the sa-12 if you can afford it http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/store/products/Sundown-Audio-SA%252d12.html

or the re audio se 12 http://cgi.ebay.com/RE-AUDIO-SEx12-D2-12-SUB-WOOFER-CAR-SUBWOOFER-SE12-new-/360292155350?pt=Car_Subwoofers_Enclosures&hash=item53e315ffd6

or this dayton sub would be a good choice http://www.parts-express.com/pe/pshowdetl.cfm?&Partnumber=295-467

all of those subs can be shipped to the uk from those sites. out of all of these subs the sa-12 is probably the best for SQL or SPL and the dayton is probably the best for SQ. the re audio sub is a decent sub but i would go with the sa-12 if you can cause i think its one of the best 12's for the price.

well i think the dd 1512 might be slightly better for spl and power handling but for sq the re se is better. i would get the sundown sa-12 if i where you cause its probably just as clean sounding as the re 12 is but it probably will get louder. but still the re se 12 is a great sub though just don't put anything over 700-800 watts rms into it unless you know what you're doing don't put anything over that power. the sa-12 can probably take 1000 rms daily

You'll notice with most "underground" companies their isn't an entry level woofer just a woofer that simply takes less power to preform well.

Anything below the SE line from RE isn't worth the money...

Lies. I think a $50 10" that can take 400rms is a good buy. I had an RE10 on 500 rms daily and it loved it.

I think you would be most happy with the DD 1512 or a 1012.

*This site is always going to suggest DC and Sundown over just about anything just because. I'm not saying they are not good quality subs.

I hate to say it on this forum, but i have heard quite a few type x's, and they sound amazing. They get real loud to. I've heard a single 10 on a jl 1000/1 and it absolutly amazed me. It was in a ported box tuned at 31hz and it sounded GREAT. I was really impressed with it. Depending on the price i think it would hang with the dd all day.

Hey guys ive found a deal on a Digital Designs DD515b for $350, is this a good deal? Thanks.

Not at all... Then again I don't know how your money translates... And to the RE SE sounding good... They sound alright... But are a bit sloppy in a ported box for my taste... similar to a W7.
