It depends on your goals. If you want a great sounding woofer that can get loud take the RE xxx. If you want just plain out loud take the DD sub. I havent heard any DC subs

 

OMG!

RE XXX vs DC level 2 vs DD 2500? Well, the answer is simple. XXX all the way. But you should get a 10" for quicker bass.




j/k reformulate your question. That is the broadest shit question ever.

 

This is a useless comparison. There are several different models of DD and DC subs, and really none of them are comparable. The XXX isn't anywhere close to the DC or DD subs as far as it's intended purpose. What you will basically find in this thread is whose nuts people hug more.

 

and you didn't really state 05 XXX or current XXX either. two different subs IMO.

i reach down and hug my own nuts every morning. well me and my gf

 

 

xxx new model only

Nothing DC or DD offers will get as low as the RE XXX (new model), but after that point there is not enough info to have a debate.
My 07 XXX15 was a low note monster, but wasn't very loud. It also required a huge SEALED box to even get as low as it was intended. I love the 05 XXX's, and I've had 7 of them total. I would pick those over the new one any day, unless your building for a home theater setup.
DD actually makes subs that sound good, and have a few SQ trophys if I'm not mistaken. DC, I can't comment on, but I'm sure they can hold their own too.
Install is 80-90% of the battle, so The actual sub used should be the last thing to worry about, and more focus should be on the actual application the sub will be in.

If all you want is an spl setup, then the XXX is not what you want. DD(9500) and DC(lvl 4xl and lvl5), will both do great in spl systems as well as competent daily setups. The choice comes down to what you want more in terms of purpose. A great sounding sub, that gets loud, or a straight spl/meter beast

 

He's asking...
"which sub is best for SPL in 12"class,want to acheive 150+db"


151.9 with 1 12" DDZ in a Saleen trunk! - YouTube

So you think that 07' XXX will get lower/spl than a DD "95" or "Z"?... It's going to get
good..
:grill:

 

05 XXX, DC lvl 5, DD 9500 all have the potential of getting stupid loud and sounding "clean." Its mostly going to depend on install. Often times people choose a brand and hug there nuts. Which is why VS threads can get really ugly.

 

u should be comparing the RE MT to those subs... not the xxx... xxx is sound quality and DD and DC sound like poop and get loud...haha

 

Face-palm
