dc lvl5 18

[calvin 0]

i am talking to Rusty about purchasing a lvl5 18 for my setup. it will be run off a zx2500.1 if i decide to go this route. any feedback on the performance of this sub? i have never heard them or see them work so i am going off of my limited audio knowledge.

they will be in about 8 cubes ported in the trunk of a lincoln towncar.

my goal is just daily street beating. is this sub more of an spl or sq sub? probably spl but i ask anyway

No doubt I am impressed with what I saw but I am looking for a little more info than that. I have watched plenty of videos but I was looking for some testimonies through experience

with that amp get a D1 DC lvl 4 XL

it will pair nicely with three spiders and 8cuft

if your concerned with handling- we had an mmats 4000.1 on each XL @1ohm with no issues and sounded great.

what is the difference in subs that would make you suggest that one?

[3stagevtec 2]

if funds is not a problem, i'd go with the level 5 because of the additional cooling ability and stronger motor.. it also leaves room for future upgrades, amplifier wise..

efficiency

with that power you should have no cooling issues unless you are giving it a heavy clipped signal.

i actually lost 1.5db going from my lvl 4 (2spiders) to my XL (4 spiders) because of efficiency. The lvl 5 out performs the XL with much more power but the XL will out perform the 5 if your shy of 3k IMO

Why not get a bigger amp? That amp would be good for one, but two?

Two 2500s and two XLs
