Posted October 16, 200717 yr Just wanted to say Thanks to Chad Hicks for the Review! __________________________________________________________________________Full Review:Listening TestThis subwoofer is definately a beast, however it is not a pure spl sub. The amount of cone control this driver has is amazing. Testing in a 2 cube sealed box and in a 2.7 cube ported box ( 1 6inch aero tuned to 35 hz ) yeilded some interesting results. The sealed box lacked output, no worse than any other driver I have used, but it did help the low end of the driver a bit. Ported is where you should run this driver, as it is a monster. The 2.7 cube box i believe was a decent match with this driver for daily use b/c the smaller SPL box made the sub peak like a bish. I was able to bassrace a 139.9 with ease with this driver in the ported box. As I stated earlier the cone control is amazing. The driver has no problem reproducing anything thrown at it. I wouldn't call it a SQ driver, but it definately could find a home in many daily driver setups.SPL TestOk as some of you have seen my RMS and slightly above results this driver doesnt need a ton of power to get moving. However pushing it above rms is something one could do with ease DP 12 Video 1 - XmaxDP 12 Video 2 - Xmax

September 7, 200916 yr I just got my death penalty's i got 2 12's i had my doubts at first but the break -in process on all speakers usually is.i competed the first five hours upon recieving them. wonderful craftsmanship! clamped power out of 2 dd m1a's one was 602w and the other 602.8w i tried gaining them as close as i could that amp is usually rated on their site 1200w rms@ 1 ohm each sub is wired at .7 and .35 strapped pair i did a 144.9 on the dash with plenty of vol. left i metered later on that week same power 147.4 at 44 hz. and 146.5 music not bad for a SQ driver. there is an impressive amount of SPL in there two.I love my subs.
October 11, 200915 yr it's always a pleasure going to salsbury hopefully this time to give them some thing they will remember other than locking my keys and the mic in the car during my run. my amp is wonderful. butthis time i got something special for the 2 12 class. one battery , car off, and a whole lot of love from my sponsors the death penalties are better to me than the dd's were but i've been working on something better.
