i've heard nothing but good things about dc, including rusty's excellent customer service, plus its a small company, not mainstream which i am a fan of.

okay I have confused myself yet again.

The amp I wanna run my sub with is the Autotek SM1-1500. Stable at 4 ohm, 2 ohms, 1 ohm.

The dc subs come in d4 or d2.

which one do I need??

Thanks

tim

Well if you're looking at going with a single level 3 then I would go with the Dual 4... As 750w @ 2 ohm would push that sub perfect, plus with that amp it would give you the availability to add a second level 3 later if you so choose to give 750 to each (1500w total)... While DC under rates their subs 1500w for a single level 3 would be pushing it... If you were looking at a single level 4 then I would recommend the Dual 2 ohm as it would handle that 1500w.

The level 3 would be fine with 1 ohm power from that amp

^Probably, but I would risk it just to keep it warranty safe.

I would go for two of the AQ's for $280 and take the extra cone area...

They also will take that amp...

I know theres a DC boner in the house. But I wouldnt be blinded to these subs.

That's odd i haven't seen very many DC post's other than this one.

Thats because this is the only post where someone is looking for subs...lol

No, but seriously... The AQ looks to be a good choice.

humm, dont mean to thread jack, but i was lookin at the specs of your autotek sm1500, and onlinecarstereo has it for 170, but the mm-1500 does the same power (i know its a better amp) but still....it goes for 400, and for the same power output....?
