Chamois Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Okay guys i need some advice .. So at first i was gonna buy 2 15" AudioQue SDC2.5 and power them on my AQ1200D Then I got prices from DC and The Level 3 15s are almost the same price shipped .. I was wondering what you guys would recommend? DC or AQ? EDIT: Also could 2 15" DC level 2 handle my AQ1200D? Its rated at 1470rms i think? Thats like 735 RMS each? I understand thats kinda a dumb question considering their rated at 300RMS, but come on they are DC, and DC subs can handle abuse .. Just tell me if its not safe lol Edited September 1, 2010 by Chamois Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.p Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 level 3s would be my choice Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chamois Posted September 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Im considering them too .. Do you have any knowledge about the level 2s though? Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALPINE408 Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Lvl 2 coils are tiny and pound on 300 watts 700 is to much IMO the lvl 3 would be the smart choice Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.p Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 yeassir i do. In the above setup level 2s were replaced with level 3's and it was louder and deeper, much better sounding. The level 2s were great for getting rolling, but the level 3 is really where its at. Its more than worth the price difference. Stronger coil motor all around a better sub. also dont forget that cone area is king, so stuff as much as you can Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This Time) I figured for the extra couple bucks, im getting a 3" Coil as apposed to 2.5" that the AQ has yeassir i do.

Well DC sounds like they have amazing subs, and reliable ones at that .. Whats the most power a level 3 15 can take?

mr.p Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 it can take as much as you give it before it blows up depends 100% on the enclosure. if you are getting 1 i would get a 1500W RMS amp and just be smart with it. If your running 2 i would probably put 2000W rms to the pair and just let it bang without worry. Quote DCAUDIO BALLS DEEP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
memphisbasshead Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 i had a dc audio level 3 15 about a month or 2 ago and i was running it on 1500 watts rms and i ran it on that much power for about 2 months but i would get 2 dc audio level 3 15's but if you do get them i wouldn't use the box that designed for the audioque's because that box was tuned higher because aq subs like high tuned boxes and the dc audio level 3's seem to like being tuned to around 32-34 hz with a decent amount of port area if you wanna hit the lows. but send me a pm and i'll redesign you a box for the level 3 15's.

Chamois Posted September 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 BUMP .. it can take as much as you give it before it blows up depends 100% on the enclosure. if you are getting 1 i would get a 1500W RMS amp and just be smart with it. If your running 2 i would probably put 2000W rms to the pair and just let it bang without worry. So can DC Level 3 really take like 1500wrms? Their rated at 600rms Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DynamikT Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 (edited) BUMP .. So can DC Level 3 really take like 1500wrms? Their rated at 600rms Personally, i would never run 1500 rms to a level 3, only people that are too proud of such a brand could do such a thing but it would definately handle 1000 daily.
