AA and DD is not popular here in the UK, wasnt sure of their performance even at entry level

i mean the "entry level" lines for brands like these arent what youd expect when compared to something like a kicker, i mean the assasin uses a double stack and its the entry level lol. so regardless of whether you get a dd or an assasin ur still buying a quality sub that will trash the idiot with the kicker comps sittin next to you lol.

Hey, maybe you experienced car audio guys will know if the re audio SR10/12 is worth mentioning? Currently im heading towards the dd1512.

Thanks for the advice.

i just called up dc and they told me how much a level 3 12 is. i would try and get that if you can or possibly an fi ssd 12 if you can get those over there. but i'll pm you the price.

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...

i wouldn't say that the only decent sub out of the re audio sr line is the 15.

For an 'entry level' sub the 1500 series is beefy as hell. Probably take 1kwrms if you're careful.

We did 2x1508 on 600wrms in a little hatch and it was pulling 142+. Impressive subs.

So you would reccomend this over the 10" type x?

Is the type r seriously louder than a type x? I always thought being 1k rms there would be a big difference..Being in the UK with all the mainstream its hard to find subs like DD, Sundown, RE, etc unless you order online and they really are overpriced compared to what you can get them for in the US

Dont forget the shippingcoasts, to UK, have a look on DC Subs, European distributor is 50 mls near London. You can find

the information on DC-site.

the type x has more cone area and a higher power rating so the x would most likely do better.

btw did you contact rusty to see if you could get that level 3 12?

I did but he hasnt got back to me yet, i have a feeling shipping to the UK will be almost as much as the sub, just waiting for a reply. The only place in the UK where you can buy DC subs at the moment is a place in milton keynes and they sell a level 3 for around 250 pounds which is about 500 dollars?
