Which 15" sub should I buy that will pound hard with a Sundown 1500 mono amp

I'm pretty sure the HDC would be closer to a DD 3500 in terms of power handling, while a 3500 would sound better. The Fi Bl is rated around that range and is musical, but an Incriminator Audio Death Penalty would slam on that power, or even an IA Death Row!

RE SX... I mean DC lvl4 with lvl5 coils is just BS. All Lvl4 D1s are considered lvl5 coils. The Lvl4xl is based on a Lvl5 structure/design similar/identical to the RE MT with a pole peice and a pretty bevel and chrome. The HDC3 is an identical ferrite structure to that of the DD 9500G, the changes are in the cooling, gap size, and soft part quality.

Some other things to look into would be.

Sundown Nightshade

Atomic APX

IA DP

Cascade Omega

RD HW

AA Mayhem

DD 9500F

they should all fit in a similar price range and offer better build quality.

4xl is better. it will handle more power by far but the 4 with 5 coils will handle heat a little better.

Handling power IS handling heat. So your comment doesn't make a lot of sense.

I like the fi BL idea.

i've ran one of my 18s on ~3.5k for music and it was fine as long as i was careful. i owned a 9518 before these and i'd ALMOST put their power handling up there with the 9500. they take my memphis on 15.3v at 1 ohm no problem between the pair, i havent once smelled coil since i reconed to the aluminums. ask around if i'm hard on my subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

i also owned a pair of bl 15s before. i'll keep my audioques.

a SSA Xcon would be a good match for that amp..it is a very good sounding sub that still pounds hard....

Its so funny how half the people who talk about shit on here have never heard it. AQs do not sound hollow if the box is built right they hit very hard and clear. just buy whatever you can afford they are all going to give you what you paid for. dcs sound great from the ones ive heard, but I like my aq and the aq's ive installed have always been great

i had the bl and it to me was more musical than the lvl 4 i had. but the lvl 4 felt and sounded louder on my 1500
