[QUOTE="jt4x4, post: 8718434, member: 677386"] I have two DB-SA2615's on an Orion XTR2500.1dz. I built the box to specs. They get decently loud and would be louder if I could keep voltage up at my amp (single run of 1/0 is my bottleneck). I'm happy with price : performance; I paid $176 each on sale for 1500rms subs. I'm happy with the sound, but not the bandwidth; lower notes hit hard and output diminishes quickly as frequency rises (still below LPF). They do awesome on Lil Wyte's song Oxycotton, and yes I know I'm getting old! I can't speak for the quality, as I'm currently sitting with one open voice coil. It is entirely possible that the issue was caused by my amp clipping/cutting out, which is why I am not ready to bad-mouth Deaf Bonce. However, I find it unusual that the sub doesn't smell burnt and feels perfectly fine when I push the cone in, and the other voice coil of the bad sub measures about the same resistance as both voice coils on the good sub, but one voice coil has no continuity. When I cooked my L7, it stunk up the whole vehicle and the entire garage after I pulled the sub out of the enclosure, and it locked up the cone because the voice coil was scraping so bad.. My biggest gripe is that they seem to discontinue models rather frequently. I bought these subs in late April, and they are already discontinued and they do not have any leftover in stock. If I screwed up and it cost me a sub, fine. Let me pay for my mistake and buy a new one, even if they aren't on sale anymore. Instead, now I get to ship my sub from Bismarck, ND to Miami, FL on my dime so they can decide if it is covered under warranty or not. I don't even know what the best case scenario is, since I doubt they would rewind a voice coil if it's bad. Anyway, that's where my mixed opinion comes from. My JY Power HP-40 should be here any day now, so that should rule out my electrical on future subs. Edit: had to add spaces in "price : performance" because it turned : P into a gay smiley face.
