In a car audio enviroment yes!

what do they gain by telling people to be gentle on their subs for a few weeks? Not sure they gain anything! Local DD dealer here in town say's to break them in, but yet they say turn it up right away DD can handle anything. I have an AQ SDC2.5 15" it's nothing special by any means, ok output but the sq.....meh!

Dude quit getting your panties all bunched up! No need for an internet tough guy here. This forum is for having fun not slamming other members.

Goals? .... I'm gonna go on a limb and say Loud and Low! Budget? No such thing as under driven!

Break in is all marketing BS promoted by DD and the inbred cousin AQ. Common sense is the only thing you have to worry about.

No serial number on the bottom of the casing?

I actually used to read that site religiously. I liked it better when he had all the testing stuff, before he started selling his own. A lot more informative then, ya know? I'm gonna stick with raam mat, because I've put it in before and I know what I'm getting into. The last thing I need is some new thing that takes me two or three days, and then I realize that I screwed it all up because I'm unfamiliar with it. It is great quality products that you would have no worries about, just an fyi! Nothing wrong with Ricks products either.

Somebody will be able to tell by the back of the motor.

Well with what you have listed. They are all great products and with the proper install should be able to achieve your goals. I have never heard DLS drivers but have read nothing but good things about them. I have read over on DIYMA to watch out for fake versions. I have heard the Focals in person as there is a local dealer where i'm located. They are very impressive as well, a little to bright for my tastes on the tweeter but nothing a little tweaking can't fix. One suggestion I might make is to take a look at SDS sounddeading products. http://www.sounddeadenershowdown.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi Don has done extensive product testing and comparison and came out with his own line of products. Take a look through the website and read what he has written. Very informative.

So are you asking what is better between the DLS or Focal?

Get pics of the back of the motor!

Tuned in for this!

Yes, we do and I don't want any BS starting over it. I know how people get, especially with the influx of new guys we have. We all know how easily and quickly this could spin out of control and piss people off. It's over and done with and nothing anyone can do about it. Fair enough! Feel free to remove the post! Not trying to stir up trouble.

Oh well I guess that is how it goes! Still have the best vendors on this forum! SSA ftw!

What is the impedence of the suwoofer? Complete the "Big 3" on the positive side. Here is a nice read on setting the gains .... How To: Set your Amplifier Gain - SSA Car Audio Forum

The Lethal Injections are a great woofer but stepping up to the DP series will be loud!

Here is a great tutorial on the workings of a speaker.... Speaker

Nobody told him to run active! I said he has the capability to run active!

Are you checking the impedence at the amp or the subwoofer box? You do realize the ohms are going to change when the music is playing?

Vehicle?

Shows subwoofers but you have the option of either high pass, full range and low pass. So option can be either. You will still have righ, left channel seperation.

Yes! Then tweak the hp crossover!

The Butyl Rope is 1 great product!

Looking forward to the progress pics ....

As long as they didn't take any shortcuts on the circuitry. I would believe it would be very good quality.
