Hello,

I run DD Z series woofers and I'm looking to upgrade. I'm going for SPL. What would you recommend?

TC Sounds LMS-R or LMS-5400, perhaps? They have crazy Xmax and can thus displace more volume than basically anything else. And the sound quality is actually reasonable, too.

So these would be better than the DD Z in spl applications?

Upgrade from DD Z's? Jeez

I feel like a lot of DD fans are going to come in and speak their mind on this one, but when it comes down to it, there is no replacement for displacement. Even the LMS-R can displace more than your DDz subs can, and it's the cheaper LMS.

Personally, I find DD to be one of the most overrated companies around, even if their products are impressive in some ways.

I'm just going off what he said brah.... if cone area means > output then who cares how little power it takes. Efficiency is key.

He said displacement not cone area. The LMS has more XMAX.

XMAX dose not mean much when it comes to just SPL...

Look at Alan Dante for example.

The LMS may have more excursion vs the Z but it sure isnt louder!
