Silver Member Username: Car_bangsPost Number: 125 Registered: May-05 | 2 kicker l7 is almost louder than anything im sure 100 people who dont have a kicker will dissagree but i have had a lot of subs and the kicker is the best so far |

|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 24 Registered: Jan-05 | do you think that 2 15 inche 9500's would be louder then 4 12 inche kicker cvr's? |

Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 25 Registered: Jan-05 | lol cuz my friend thinks his 4 cvr's would kill them...do you know what kind of amp i should get to power a 15 inche 9500? |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1365 Registered: Feb-05 | DD's will be louder by a long shot. If you compare 2 vs 2 with the same size. Im gonna get a DD 3500 series sub. Not sure what size yet though. Probably a 12 or 15 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 26 Registered: Jan-05 | do you know what kind of amp for a 9500? |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3793 Registered: Dec-04 | id put around 4000 watts rms to it lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 27 Registered: Jan-05 | my friend said maybe go with a zapco amp...are they good amps? |
|
Silver Member Username: Car_bangsPost Number: 127 Registered: May-05 | i havent heard the dd but until i do im goin wit kicker i have heard the 18 solo x thats somethin to serious u mr dd arent ready for that |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 28 Registered: Jan-05 | dude you dont know about dd...it will rock your big bad solo x....and it does need as much space |
|
Silver Member Username: AlpineuserWinchester, TN Post Number: 367 Registered: Mar-05 | i hate to say it but an 18" solo X will be louder than a 9500 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 29 Registered: Jan-05 | so if they were both 18 inches the solo x would be louder? |
|
Silver Member Username: AlpineuserWinchester, TN Post Number: 369 Registered: Mar-05 | i personally would say so. this is just my opinion though. the 18" solox is very loud if u give it its required power and the extra surface area helps out some to, but dont expect clean sound from this sub |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3796 Registered: Dec-04 | i be4t the 9517 would take the solo x |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 30 Registered: Jan-05 | yeah...i heard the solo x isnt the lcenest sounding...i ehard the dd is pretty clean....do you think a 18 in 9900 would beat the solo x? |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3797 Registered: Dec-04 | yea i think so, but the dd 9500s arent very clean sounding, they are to get loud, thats it |
|
Bronze Member Username: Gino0809Post Number: 31 Registered: Jan-05 | do you know where besides ddaudio.com i can order a 9500? |
|
Gold Member Username: SubfanaticWalton, Ky Post Number: 3798 Registered: Dec-04 | i dont know |

Silver Member Username: Zacdavis~Post Number: 513 Registered: Sep-04 | Wow, so much speculation. Check out Team Loud from Finland. They all now use DD woofers, not because they are popular or a good buy, but because they have the most output over all other woofers tested. The highest number in the world to date is by a member of Team Loud, 177.9DB, using only 6 DD woofers. There is no comparison to the solo x. It's moving mass weighs much more than the DD's, not to mention the motor strength just isnt up to par with a 9500/9900. It is incapable of reaching amplitudes as high as the 9900 for a few reasons. I would take an RE, Fosgate, or Pioneer over the Solo X any day of the week. There is a fine line between all of these super woofers, (RE, Pioneer, DD, Atomic, Ect.), but when all are pushed to thier true limit, the DD edges out all of them. Efficiency. Power handling. Efficiency. This Could be considered an opinion But, for this moment, it Is truth. DD's are the loudest woofers in the world. Listed are WORLD RECORD holders in DB Drag. Here are just a few of the competitors who use DD that hold World Records at the present time....... http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=27197 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=22065 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=28846 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=22056 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=31494 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=478 http://www.termpro.com/asp/competitorstats.asp?Competitor_ID=40783 http://www.termpro.com/asp/eventresults5.asp?Image=E7274W3M6P73&Event_ID=7274 |

Silver Member Username: Tdeaton1021Near Tampa, Florida USA Post Number: 439 Registered: Sep-04 | id put money on 2 15 9500s with 2000 watts rms each would beat one 18 solo x with 5000 watts rms. and ur friend who thinks his CVRs are better then DD for SPL... he dont know jack sh!t because he thinks ascendant audio is a no name brand that is trash. hey jon lol |

New member Username: Brahma0715Bloomington, IN Post Number: 1 Registered: May-05 | Ya dd's definetly out perform almost any number of L7's,i actually kno from expirence,my friend had to L7 15's in a Crx and they were nothing extrodinary,even while being pushed a past rms One of my other friends has a dd9500(which he accidently poked a hole in)in a shitty ported box sealed with duct tape,whcih he built in an hour,he took it to get metered and pushed 143.2,the JL Audio dealer he took it too thought he was lying about the dd,and challenged him to a soundoff,the jl dudes w7 only hit 120's,and the jl dealer said his sub was having a malfunction,but he was scurred,nothing as of right now can compare with dd 9500's or 9900's |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1394 Registered: Feb-05 | Which will have more output ? Avalanche 15 subwoofer or a DD 3512 12" sub ? |
|
New member Username: Brahma0715Bloomington, IN Post Number: 2 Registered: May-05 | i'd go with dd because i kno the brand,i havent rilly expericend any avalanche,so i cant rilly make a judgement |
|
Gold Member Username: Suleman36Post Number: 1397 Registered: Feb-05 | Thanks for your input chris, I do know the DD 3515 will be louder then the Avalanche 15 but not sure about the 3512 which is the 12". The DD will of course be ported tuned to 38-40hz. The Avalanche 15 is sealed. |
