DB Drive 12" WDX 5K

Review of DB Drive WDX 5K 12"

Thanks To DB Drive for giving me a second test subwoofer!

So this is my SECOND WDX as the first test run failed miserably.

I wanted to test this sub with how well it would do with a cheap amp and well all i can say is the end run was the PlanetAudio AC5000.1D was at 65% Gain which produced only 450 watts @ 2 Ohms ended up melting slightly causing the amp to fail and smoke, Then causing the sub to lock up and roast the coils. Believe it or not after 10 mins of roasting due to the amp (i was driving on the freeway) the sub was still able to bump hard on a single coil at 4 ohms with another amp.

I know dont even say it....

Well this is my second test and i will hold off until i get another decent amp that does rated power on 2ohms and 1 ohm.

The 1st sub i had a db drive A7 3500 amp on it running 1800 watts before the PA and it was just eating it up like nothing.
