18'' ia dp vs 18'' omega

[KHARPS 10+ year member]

i had the 18'' death penalty and the ia 40.1 in my 88 civic for daily my best score was a 152.2 wich is plenty loud for me but know i had to sell everything to pay bills

That is a great score. I was always under the impression that the DP liked 1500-2000 for a daily setup.

But with that much power daily.... look into different subs

Indeed... going to be hard to top 152 with one sub / daily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You may be able to "put more power on" another sub but may not be any louder.

they stay way cold off 2000wrms and get a little warm off 3000 so in that range is fine for them but i never gave it the hole 40.1

 

[s12mm4000 10+ year member]

yeah my next sub will probly be a lvl 5

 

[s12mm4000 10+ year member]

i was very surprised with the death penalty because not only do they get loud but sound danm good doin it

why not not a pair of subs off the 40.1 @.5?

i dont like to run my amps under 1ohm but i already got rid of the 40.1

Nice. You should get a hold of iamp3pimp(sp?) I'm pretty sure he ran a pair of lv5 18s.

DPs will take more than rated, the 1500RMS is pretty conservative.

I'm sorry, but since no one else is asking I will ask, was that score on the termlab or Audiocontrol? 152.2 is really loud if that is a "termlab" score. Not saying it can't be done, but in a daily setup that is bringing the pain with one sub. My 3 DP's were doing 152-153 daily on the termlab with virtually any music off of 2 GP3000d Pro's. Do you have some kind of verification of that score? The B.S. flag is not too far behind my questions. The civic is a fairly loud car, but that score is ridiculous for one sub in a daily setup.
