Opinions wanted :)

I'm looking to build my box between 6-8 cubes

I will be running around 3,000 watts RMS to the sub

I want to spend between 400-600 $

I am not going for SPL at all, I want pure loudness and lows

With that said, I have talked with quite a few people about this decision I need to make within the coming weeks and so far I have a few I am very interested in.

1.DC Audio Level 4 XL 18"

2.Fi Audio BTL N2 18"

3.DD Audio 9500G 18"

4.SSA ZCON 18"

All I want are opinions about which I should go with while keeping all of my needs in check :)

Any help is greatly appreciated and right now I'm leaning towards the DD!

Check this out as well, sooo sick! 4 15" DDs

The Zcon and BTl n2 are good choices. have you thought about the sundown nightshade v.2 also?

No, I havent really looked them at AT ALL

Nightshades like small boxes too if I'm not mistaken, looking at getting one or two myself when I get tired of these SA15s. I like the new BTL N2 and the Zcons look to be pretty badass as well

Just got off the phone from a DD dealer, he quoted me at 800$ for the 9500G !!!!!!!!!!

Screw that

sounds like some soldier boy song chopped/screwed???

Ya, they're pricey...Have you thought about an IA DP?

Ya, definitely Soulja Boy. I don't think it's slowed though because it sounded like that the other night when I was at a sushi place with a friend. I don't like soulja Boy at all, but that song sounds pretty cool, and looks to do some work.

yea i agree

I just need the loudest sub possible for under 600$ :(

not a spl sub, a migrain/contemplate suicide sub :)

Any sub you listed, along with a few others, will all make you very happy when the install is done right. I can't really speak on the Zcon though since I know nothing about it, and I don't think its out yet.

Sundown Zv.2 or Nightshade v.2 would be a great choice to think about, along with the IA DP and DR series. The mighty XCON would fit the bill as well.

Would I be more happy with a IA 18 or a BTL 18

or a DD 18 for a good price ?

:WTFBubble: dont you understand about it is all in the install, nobody can tell you what you will be happy with unless you have the same taste or use the same ears to listen to music. Flip a coin and choose or buy all three and get back to us with a review on what you preferred.

Song is 'Pretty Boy Swag' by Soulja Boy.

And that's Drew aka Bassahaulic's GF doing the hairtrick. lol

3000 w rms, on how many subs ?

If you want 2 subs, just get 2 Xcons.

  • Author

I'm going to push around 2500 - 3000 watts at whatever 18 I get.....or should I get the IA 21

;) lolT

  • Author

2 15" xcons sealed would be :drink40:

I thought about it but I deff want an 18". Obviously nothing against 15s :) Just not what I want

2 15"s off 3000 watts total would get louder than 1 18" off the same power. more cone area...

for example 2 BTL15 will be louder than 1 BTL18

I know....but its the space thing....and the fact I will go to 2 18s eventually

Gotcha... Like i stated before, try to get out and hear some setups with these subs... you live in FL, i'm sure you could find someone to give you a little demo..

In the end it is really all about your install like others said.

I can't really understand anyone who says: 'ZCON!". They aren't out yet.

The BTL will be a good choice, the Nightshade too, DD is too expensive.

A AA mayhem is also a great choice.

Pedigree of course. ;)
