I've got a buddy with 2 mayhems so that wont be a problem to do.

ill add the smd sub to a list of subs id love to test in the future.

do you live anywhere near an AA dealer? If not, holla at me. BEFORE you swig your moonshine that is...

i can almost guarantee any woofer you drop in will be louder than the SMD's. why?

here are my thoughts.

the SMD is conservatively rated at 3500 wrms. the only subs that are near that are strictly spl oriented subs.

DC lvl 5 and XL are rated 2k wrms and 1500 wmrs respectively (also conservative ratings)

however, this makes me believe that the two DC woofers in question are made to use the power they receive in a more efficient manner. so naturally on the same power the more efficient woofers will be louder.

ex. say you burp 4500 watts on an XL. that is 3x is rated rms. that woofer will be lunging back and forth trying to rip through itself.

burp that same power on an SMD. the SMD is getting 1.2857x its rms.

now tell me which one you think would be louder, the one nearing its thermal and mechanical potential? or the one going out for a daily stroll?

if you DC guys want to keep comparing oranges and pumpkins be my guest but it think a fair test would be 4500 on an XL and 10,500 on an SMD. get it?

the two subs are NOT comparable. now quit it

CJ i still love that box man

Yeah im in panama city fl. I got my subs from audio visions here.

If you dont mind could i run some box.specs by you.and get your opnion?

Oops.missed who you said that to, by bad

took the words right off my fingertips......i was going to say something like that but i cant, as a rep of AA tell you guys to put 7,000 watts on both and see what happens. I can only say 3500rms :D

also, CJ, if i forgot to mention..........NICE WORK BRO - shits lookin REAL nice!!!!

finally someone with an intelligent response. MOST prob 99% of SMD owners aren't taking those subs to their full potential. also like stated earlier i believe the air flow in this bod could be f'ed up which is another plus if he were to do subs up(only) which means he would not need the bracing for the motor thus making the box hella more effiecent... I would love to see a comparison of Mayhems to lvl5's not just in spl but also what ppl think about their sq....I've heard lvl 5's and ummmm ehhh
