Well I am bias I have been told but I would get an aq2200 and run 2 sa-12's dual 2 and run that ***** at .5 and it will slam the lows just my experience with sa's thus far.

A few, i do plan on buying one of each to test for everyone. Unless I can get some "donor" woofers sent my way for testing purposes.(not abusive just subjective tests)

i emailed them for a price qoute on there level 3 12 and they said 150 shipped...now thats one d@mned good deal...just sayin

Which one would you choose for better lows and durability? Lets say bought in a pair in their own box on a aq1200d and is a daily beater?

DC just took off their "specs" page...interesting. I just looked at it earlier today. From what I can remember the lvl3 may give you better low-end, but the SA-12's will definitely have more output ability if you ever want to add more power to the equation(and probably with the power you have as well). The SA-12's can still hold their own down low though.

Also, IIRC the 10" lvl3 is really the only one I'd want to port since the 12" and 15" models look more like sealed box woofers.

so your saying 2 lv 3 10s ported is going to be better then 2 lv3 12s or 15s ported?
