RD audio vs. DC audio

DC > RD in every department including a lower failure rate and a less shady owner.

try getting back in the game.. RD/atomic have DOMINATED and i mean DOMINATED Usaci for the last 5 years or so as far as subs go.. please tell me a dc sub where it says on their site that it hcan handle 25k...

Power handling > customer service and business practices.

lol.. i didnt know he asked about that.. i thought he was asking what product was better.. hmm maybe im wrong .... ya DC is popular as hell to all the forum nut huggers who sit around and watch utube all day.. get out in the lanes though and i would bet RD is the more preferred brand over dc 3 to 1.. i compete in 4 orgs and go to shows REGUALARLY and i can honestly count on one hand how many dc setups i have seen.. wherei have been at shows 1 in particular here in ok where there were 6 of us in one class on every guy was running d9s and RD subs

and if thats the case how is DC power still in business??? took me 5 months (yes 5 months) to get my alts.. and have had several people comment on how long it took and just today a shop owner told me he called them and left messages wanting to buy and they never returned them.. but they are brought up everytime there is a conv about alts. because they are the best (arguably).. so if you want customer service go for it. If you want a brand that has won 5 times the world titles as dc go with rd

I need some opinions here, im stuck between a 12" DC XL and a 12" RD audio Alpha V.2

Irrelevant.

He asked about the DC XL 12" and the RD Alpha V2. Very very similar products, except the RD is more expensive, the customer service blows, and the owner is shady as a MF'er. Its not rocket science.

like it has been said.. RD is under new management and guy is a good guy and doing everything he can to give RD a good name.. done a hell of a job so far.. you were the one who brought up a point about customer service being better then whatever. so i reiterated my popint.. obviously you are out of your league when it comes to spl.. or out of date

Or just dont give a shit about being loud. DC XL > the RD Alpha V2 in every situation except getting loud. The OP hasnt told us his goals so the argument is really pointless until then.

and the thread title should be RD alphav2 vs. dc xl 12" .. because as far as DC vs RD its not really a comparison

i just use common sense and assume if you are looking to buy a dc 12" xl you are not going for sq as there are MANY MANY better options out there as im sure you know being more sq oriented then me..

I have had 2 dc lvl 4 xl 12s.. they were ok.. nothing mind blowing.. most of their subs i have looked at are overpriced is my only knock on them.. I can get an 18" rd HW for what they sell a lvl 4 12 for.. lol

I would never trust a company that uses Impact font as their "professional" company logo.
