Soundstream XXX-18, DC Level 6, DD Z series (there is a 95z in the classifieds atm)

Not a SPL sub, low end ground pounder

Nevermind

Rusty isn't making level 6s anymore. That's what he told me a few weeks ago at the last show. He said Rens Tahoe with 2 level 6 18s are the last of the level 6s. He has motors still but wont be a real level 6 with the basket but it'll be a level 6 motor with level 5 baskets. On that note, Ren is running 2 dc5ks to each level 6 for daily. I'm surprised Noone mentioned the atomic apx 18. Beast of a woofer daily or burp. Why not get a level 5 with the level 6 soft parts.

well for one i think it might be tough putting a 4 " coil on a 3" motor

The new tsns are a fail...teammate has 2 18's and they're alright for what they are. One coil went out pretty quick and the recone that t3 sent us is completely different. So now he has 2 tsns' with different softparts

big as fvck though....18 sitting on a 5gal bucket

Im gonna call soundstream tommrow and dc and see what I can get for an 18 and what they have to say

For just SPL the DC LVL 5 SPL but I would not daily this sub. I can attest to the LVL 6 being an amazing sub, they sound amazing and get very loud.

I think the closest your going to get is double power and get someone to custom build you a woofer with a long 8 layer flat wound coil..

something with some very high motor strength like a warden or 99z or a n3..

when I say long I mean at least 65mm at least..

the zcon is one he'll of a sub but you need something that cand handle at least 6kw..

i can get you one from rusty ,problem is ,that the basket has to be titanium so very expensive.you can also do the ascendant mayhems and add 3 extra spiders ,it will take the power then all day. ddz way too expensive and not a daily sub at all

Unless the soundstream xxx 15 basket is titanium you don't have to have a titanium basket lol

The t3 isn't a fail the sub was built to the exact specs you ask for then if you blew a coil you should have sent the recone in so they could have made the exact cone. that's a average tsns The one in the pic is the base model tsns. This one is a good tsns It has been burped on two sd16k ten times I'm running it on a sd 8k daily until my guy buys it I have to go with twelves.

Rd hw?
dealer cost of a ddz is somewhere around 3k.

Dealer cost is cheaper than that unless you don't deal alot
