hiperim Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) Uhm.. So.. I'm kinda new here. I'm from Brazil and will be making a trip to NY in Feb/11. Was hoping to get some DC subs when I get there, but dont know what would be better for my system. I have a TE1501D, voltage not very good (dropping down to 12.8Volts) and was thinking about getting a single Lvl 4 or a XL. I suppose my amp would put out something like clean 1300~1400w in that kind of voltage. What sub would be a better choice for me? Keeping in mind I love the lows. Thanks!

Robert8252 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 With that power a level 4 should do fine as long as your box is built decent.

mxman38 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 well i wanted XL's but instead i was convinced to get the lvl 4's with 5 parts due to them not being in stock, even though i said money/waiting wasn't a problem. Me and another guy i wont name, blew the shit outta ours at the db drag in July. Are they loud, yes... But they get stinky fast and after hearing the xl's im pissed because they are all around a better woofer. the kicker to it all is that i still ended up waiting for my coil to come in and i wasn't even informed untili called in a week later.

hiperim Posted November 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 (edited) No need for level 5 coils with that power. Yeah. I tought the same. Why would I need aditional spider and lvl 5 coils with 1400w rms? I dont get it... Anyways, a Lvl 4 would play louder in my system than a XL? Idk how bad underpowering a sub is...

corey0928 Posted November 4, 2010 Report Share Posted November 4, 2010 The xl is an efficient sub. Plus if you ever decide to upgrade the amp the xl will love it. However the lvl 4 is a great sub with or without the lvl 5 parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lvl 4s arent like XLs or lvl 5...

Lvl 4s arent like XLs or lvl 5... And what should I get from this, man? That for 1500w it would be better getting a Lvl 4 w/ lvl 5 coils instead of getting a Lvl 4 XL that can handle 1500w? I know they arent the same... Thats why I wanna know wich sub would perform better in my amp. The xl is an efficient sub. Plus if you ever decide to upgrade the amp the xl will love it. However the lvl 4 is a great sub with or without the lvl 5 parts. I wont be getting an amp upgrade anyday soon. Keeping that in mind, you still think it would outperform a lvl 4 in my system? One more thing: The lvl 5 parts wouldnt make the sub less efficient in some kind of way? I mean, ofc they would end up accepting more power, but would that sacrifice anything? get the XL room for more power in the future Im not considering an upgrade on my amp. 1500w rms is already hard to keep on stock alt. Imagine something bigger... lol Btw, thanks for those who helpeded so far! XD Edited November 4, 2010 by hiperim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
