DC lvl 2 8"

[audioholic 5,000+ posts]

or just PM him. I've always been e-mailed back same or next day and have always been PM'd same day. Sure not everyone has such luck obviously but there's no reason to get worked up cuz thor doesnt respond to u. Out of like 3 or four PMs i think he PMd me once. The dude picks and chooses... so what. go direct.

Except a lvl5 and DDZ are not on the same level of comparison. A lvl5 would compare much more closely to the 9500 series. The DDZ would compete against DC's new neo sub they have coming out (presumably).

We pulled a pr of ddz 15's out of Steve Hasenbiens xterra and put in a pr of spl lvl 5's. We kept all things equal and the spl lvl 5's were .5 louder.

The xl's are a better comparison to the 9500's

Finally someone agrees with me. I tell everyone about the XL's being close to the 9500's. The weight and TS specs are very similar. Everybody keeps responding with " the specs dont matter" I call BS. Thanks Rob for your input

dc don't protect the dealer! i spent hours in my store with ppl and after that, they email rusty and he quoted em close to dealer price .

dc should be a eD cuz they are a Internet co.

dc dont protect dealers. rustys subs not bad at all. rusty is after $ not a good honer. that's fine for a Internet co.

I have talked to more dealers that rusty did that 2 (under cut )so for a retailer that has rent, kids to feed, and lights ect I cant have his junk in my shop!

dc sells direct at or close to dealer price.

as far as a biz man, rusty is a snake. as a sub maker, he has good subs,

ill sell re audio they dont sell direct ,and it same sub

i dont hate rusty.

Not call you a lier but. I have had customers in my area call direct for prices. And DC would NOT give them prices and refer them to me and even give me a contact number for me to call the customer. I have had no problems.

id say hes about right aslong as lvl5 soft parts were used

motor mass wise i'd say they are equal i mean the lvl5s motor is massive they 18 wieghs what 89lbs?

 

[IMOVeCHICKENS! 10+ year member]

but it pissed me too **** when people compare the hdc3 motor to the 9500g motor

completely different and the 9500g is noticeably bigger side by side....

What does a drop-in comparison between two subs, in a single install/situation, really tell us about the over all comparison of those products in the general terms you are extrapolating it to? It tells us the lvl5 was a half db louder in that specific situation. Beyond that is mere guesswork.

I guess nothing to you, but to most its just a test. Just some info for you. The box was designed with several months of testing for the DDZ so it reached the max potential in that application. SO your right its not a fair comparison. With that much time testing with LVL 5 it should indicate the DC would be alot louder then just .5db. Not just throwing it in a box designed for something else.

Hit the nail on the head. The box was for the DDZ... to say put it in a different box and it won't get as loud is a joke, due to the fact the the lvl 5 was short handed already in that test and still louder.

I was just commenting on your comment. You stated the the lvl 5 was not in the same realm as the ddz. I gave the best example I had based on our testing. You could also get in touch with Ray Farmer. He also swapped out his dd neo's for our Team subs and was louder.

I also forgot to add the LVL 5 had a higher starting imp and was seeing less power as well. Since somebody will comeback with questioning power.
