I'd say the nightshade is in a different class above those other two.

in what way? they are all rated 1500 rms. I know the sundown is built to be a daily sub that just happens to be loud, but will the other two be significantly louder?Originally Posted by lilmaniac2

I don’t think you would be disappointed with any of those choices. If it were me I would be stuck between the Nightshade Level 4 xl..

I also think they will all be pretty much on par, but this forum has been steering away from RD lately due to some shady business practices (as you may have seen in other threads lately).
Both Rusty and Jacob are good guys, and they reply to emails very quickly and have great customer support. Guess it depends on what kinda dustcap you want?
Haha, they will both fit the application though. But I voted for sundown, because I personally wouldn't like to deal with the questions from people asking if my speakers were made from a sneaker / clothing company.

thanks
bump for more input

I HAVENT TESTED THE NEW XL, just the level 4, sorry i misread your title and didnt know they had it out
the sundown is underrated, the other two won't exactly be happy with much more than 1500 watts.
Ive owned and tested all 3 subs
the nightshade handed alot more power. the nightshade also costs quite a bit more doesnt it?
The RD alpha's are nice subs, I loved mine, but you will never be able to sell them for anything close to what you paid. I had a pair of the alpha v2 12s and they were sick subs, but when i went to resell them I lost my butt.
the level 4 is not a bad driver either, but the sundown sub is more of a spl sub made to be a daily driver. instead of a daily driver sub that can get decently loud.
hopefully this explains my point a little better if not let me know and i'll try and help you out more.
I'm by no means saying the sundown fits your needs better, but it is a class above both those two.
