[QUOTE="KHARPS, post: 6684843, member: 594999"] I've used the12'' XLs and 9512s. I think the XLs have more of a smooth sound to them and since I was tuned low (32hz) they dominated the low notes. I've only tried one box for the 9512s so far (4.8@39) and it has no trouble playing down into the low 30s, but with much less authority than the XLs did. I'm sure if you tune the DDs to 35hz you'll get plenty of lows. I'm kind of confused why you want to play at 20hz though? I've only been playing with the 9512s for a few weeks now but I do notice much more mechanical noise compared to the DCs (subs are about 2ft from my ear so it's definitely noticeable). I've read good things about how the BTLs sound as a daily sub and I wouldn't mind trying out a pair of those in the future. Since you already have something you don't like with the DDs my opinion would be to try something new. Go ahead and give the BTLs a try, I bet they'll suit your needs. [/QUOTE]
