it was meant the other way around. compared to my punchy 9512 the 13W7 in the closed box had no punch. it did not have the fast response that my 9512 had. and T15002 is a **** good amp too. nice SQ and power. 13w7 was in around 2.5-3 cubes closed.

i thought you said you had a 9.0?

i have a 9.0, the friend of mine with the 13w7 had a RF T15002 for it.

He sold his 13w7 then and got a 9915 and it sounded way better. so i can tell the T15002 is a good amp and the poor SQ with the 13w7 was not due to a bad amp and/or not enough current on it... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

this is what i have right now, DD is sold pending payment:

i think you should go for a pair of 3500's, but that is just me.

[DiDan 10+ year member]

thx ill get better pics without the sub in the trunk in 2 weeks time.

well the 3500series is said to play more musical but i especially liked the "kicking", "punchy" and "hard" style the 9500 or even 9900 series plays music. and audioque HD series should be a bit better than 3500, so question is audioques or 9500 series :-|

i am so undecided i will just get me that eclipse 8454 i ever wanted and play around with it (like the looks better than a 8455). ill just wait for a good offer and buy some subs out of a good mood )

i like listening to music only with my front system. they pound )

but if you got any other hints just let me know.

its all in the box. my 2500's are super punchy and hard i guess you would say.

 

[DiDan 10+ year member]

...but they do not like the lower notes at all! i listened to a pair of 2512 hooked up to a DLS A6 like 2 months ago, i liked their response well, just as you said, as long as you keep to electronic music or rock. as soon as you put some rap or hiphop in the deck you ask yourself where the woofers are :-|

ok, they were tuned to more than 40Hz, i never heard so hard hitting subs before but the price for this was the lack of bass from 40hz and down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

man i like three6mafia and ying yang twins from time to time too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

my friend with the 9915 was also there, we compared the two 2512 to my 9512 and his 9915.

in comparison the 9915 sounded just as punchy, hard hitting and fast but it could rattle the car with hiphop, too. this is one of the reasons the 9900series is much more expensive than the 2500 )

my two 2510s are ported with a zapco 1100.1dc and they love uper and low notes. like, roof flexing upper notes, and soda spilling out of the can low notes.

get over and show me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

ill visit you during spring break...oh wait that was at the other end of the country //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

im really into DD but the problem with the smaller series like 3500 and down is that if you make them play low notes just as loud they loose a lot of their response and the typical DD-sound. really hard & really low is fine with 9500 and 9900 series. the smaller series are also great buys for the money, but if you are willing to spend more i would recommend 9500 series or even 9900.

but man i dont doubt you like your system and that it is a good setup. just as me you go with zapco and DD so *thumbs up* for you.

i am into caraudio for more than 7 years now, i spent a lot on it and my requirements are rather high to both, SQ and SPL. and i changed and am still changing my setup like other guys their underwear to find the most suitable system for my ears :-/

between the dealer and i, we have been getting my truck up to par for over a year now, as long as i have had it. i was into car audio before i started driving, probably like 5 years now. much into SQL as well. just recently we found this setup. front components are active with the zapco 650.6dc and the woofers are ported on the 1100.1dc. went from a 1000.4 dc to the 650. i love the SQ.
