best 6.5 subwoofer?

Anything DD in my area is like double price compared to everyone else's price quotes. Fk California

Thats crazy, sounds like dealer markup to cover rent and all the silly California taxes.

DD equipment is reasonably priced but the sky high msrp they post on their website scares most people away before they can even find a dealer and get a quote.

Live in Vegas and can't even find DD for sale anywhere in this city of 2.2 million. I was thinking DD actually closed. I love their amps, never used their subs. Somebody told me they were very similar to AB. DD seems overpriced, to me anyway.

they are definitely several grades above AB, much more efficient, much more accurate with better tonality aka SPL with not bad SQ. But the same woofer would cost double of what AB is charging so bleh.

Aw hell no that is some ****. That's like paying full MSRP from Sundown, what a joke.

Then why do so many people run American Bass? Is it strictly a money thing? And, why isn't DD winning all the competitions? And, if you aren't a grizzled old audiophile, would we be able to hear the difference? I would put my VFL8D4's up against a DD 8" all day.

DD is winning competitions every year...
AB are high value subs
why do some people buy kia's and some people buy Mercedes?

not sure what you are talking about there's literally no american bass on the board at all in world class competitions, its a cheapo off the shelf budget brand thats good for what it is but its never touched world class.

A DD sw2508 supercharged would absolutely rape that vfl 8 with no reacharound. I still do recommend AB to a lot of people wanting to do daily ground pounders but i've installed enough DD to know the giant difference in class between the woofers.

DD builds are always in the top rankings at shows.

AB had a good year like 10 years ago and still clings to that raft as if they are still relevant but they are just budget level rebadges.

I am doing 6.5 inch subs rear facing under the front seats of my Jeep Patriot. I’ve modeled every 6 inch sub I can find. Too bad tang band doesn’t make a bigger power 6.5. They model up nicely in small boxes. DD needs a little more space than I have available, or that is what I would go with. Their 8s did me very good back in the day. Amazing subs. I’m probably going to have to use sundown, since I only have .4 cubes to work with. DD would definitely make a solid 6.5. They don’t put out crap.

Got it. Maybe, I'm not the biggest DD fan because I don't see them for sale anywhere. Especially, in Vegas.

I purchased a JL audio W3? 6.5" sub to replace the stocker in my marauder. Will be installing it over christmas. I will be sure to post back with the results. Which ever sub you do go with do let us know I'd be curious to get your impressions.

The Ampere Audio 6.5" sub is for sure worth a look. Especially on sale at the #1 source for Ampere Audio: https://store.soundsolutionsaudio.com/ampere-audio-2-5-rve-6-5-300w-rms-subwoofer/
