DD 1512 vs. SD2.5 12"

[Kangaroux 5,000+ posts]

Decided for my next upgrade I'm going for 2 12's, can't decide between these two. I'm slightly leaning towards the DD's because I like my current DD's and I know I'll get quality if I go with them, but the AQ's look nice as well. The carbon fiber cone is quite the sex.

DD & AQ are sister companies, if that answers any of your questions.

think of AQ as Ford and DD as Lincoln. They'll both be good; the DDs would be nicer, but the AQs would be more affordable.

i figured DD's would win but with the higher price tag that's sort of expected lol. did they excel in a certain category, or are they just overall better?

makes sense. I think the carbon fiber on the AQ is what attracts a lot of people lol.

do you know the price of the 1512 op?

I doubt I'll be buying them new, I was going to go for used on here. There's a DD dealer that lives about an hour away from me though, I could ask him.

So no, I don't know the MSRP lol. I'm not looking to buy now anyways. This is all for future knowledge //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

They're probably up there with SA-12s, so count on 200-240

The 3500 series is like 475, but that was for an 18

So roughly

1500 - 230

2500 - 330

3500 - 430

The dd's excelled in all aspects to me the aq's did get loud but just sounded and felt like the dd's were louder cleaner and got deeper.

Cool stuff, thanks. When you say they're up with the SA-12's, do you mean price or quality?

I was speaking in terms of price.

I can't speak for SA's quality compared to DD or AQ's

I run 2 12" SDC's off a sundown 1500D, nice daily set up. Gets respectably loud and sounds very good on all types of music.

Not familiar with the 1500 series DD's, only the 9500's.

I would imagine either set up performing very well in the right enclosure and fed clean power.
