Hey guys I'm thinking of buying 2 new subs but can't deside how does the dc xl and the dd 9500 stack against each other?????????? :confused:
 
#2 ·
i have had both. i like the dc xl's better. you have a tough choice because both are excellent subs.
 
#3 ·
Current or older models? XL m2? 95i?

Id probably pick the dc xl between those two. You should look into the new sundown zv4! It looks yummy. lol :)

Both are quality, for me it would come down to price. Also, some people hate on the sound of DD's, but I personally like the way they sound. In my experience, DC had awesome customer support, I had a little issue trying to order recones from DD.

what kinda power you running? maybe look into the Zv3. i loved mine and did a 150.1db with a single 12" in a daily music box tuned to 35hz.

I'd say if you have a DD now, it's a no-brainer. As in, you have a good idea how it will sound etc.

Tough decision though, I agree. What power are you running?
And as above, have you looked at Sundown?
SMD's? SP4's? PSI's? DP's?
BTL's don't get the same love they used to, I'd love a pair of N3's but they are just too damn expensive over here :(

Well I guess I list voy bigger a lot of choices out there..... Tantric hdd, dd9500, sundown z3 z4 or the x, dc xl, but I can't make my mind up....I'm gone have to learn the hard way I guess!!!! Ill be looking for a pair of 15s or 18s around 650 or 700 shipped... Is that enough or should I save a little more???????

Should be plenty. Been hearing good things about Tantric. Even a thread for them worth checking out and pics of some members' subs in there.

Ha Ha. Does anyone actually listen to your shit Korey. I've had PSI softparts in my 9500 Hsc for 18 months now. Not a problem. I went through 5 recones from DD in 10 months. Talk your shit somewhere else boy. You don't have shit, can't afford shit, and just talk your shit on the internet. I really liked the B2 amps you put up for sale too. LOL. Did B2 every put out a lower model. At least I know what the shittiest amps B2 every put out are, I just need to check your for sale thread. I'll stick with my Zero.5. Maybe when you get a job you little punk you can afford one.

This is what I'm saying If I was the op. I would spend my money on Tantric.

I'm going to try some tantric parts in my 9500's soon. Unfortunately the dd's are still the loudest sub I've messed with out of the 10+ I've tried.

I haven't had to order DD parts since last year, but I've heard some horror stories. I'm hoping I don't have the same luck.

My 95's have been great since I switched to PSI softparts. Did a 152.3 out of the trunk at 36hz the other day, and a 166.9 in the port. Then I demo'd for an hour at 150 plus. The motors are great. I just had no luck at all with the DD soft parts. The motors are strong as hell. The DC XL was a little louder with there little short coil though. Maybe that was the difference.
