3 f*ckin years and i still cant get my EQ tuned where i want it...

premier deck, DD 1510 subs, 500D memphis M class to subs, memphis PR highs and mids, 200 memphis M class to highs and mids.

^^^ no crap, my whole 2 weeks on R&R, everyday while I was driving/going somewhere, I was tuning with time alignment and such..... still got work to do...

That's what I had in my first car.

those things "look" like they will bust an eardrum.

how could u ever feel that a SVC would be worth it? I wouldn't run a SVC if it was given to me...

svc's are junk compared to dvc's....

- just wanna kno why ppl even still buy svc's

there are some SVC's out there that would piss on ur L7 DVC's. SVC's cant take the watts that a DVC can... but a SVC can put out more than a DVC.

yeah but dvc is just the shiznit...

and if i ever did run into a svc that pissed on my l7's, I'd just switch them out for some solo-x's and watch my rear window bust!

the only real advantage to DVC is wiring options. SVC is way more efficent. theres alotta science behind ohm.. impedance.. all that good stuff.

yeah but come on....svc's are old news...we'll so are dvc's but......

oh hell F- it....lol

u better be glad I don't feel like arguing gtpinsc, goodjob shuttin' me up! lol

agree to disagree.... they both have their advantages... ive never owned any DVC... but the SVC's i have had in the past with the right setup with minimal watts will deafen you. im not saying i have the loudest system in the world... i have 700 watts total with highs and mids, subs... my roommate says he thinks im pullin in the driveway when in actuality im over a mile down the road.

^^^ must be a quite neighborhood in SC... don't see that happening...

we'll i've never owned a SVC....

They did their job. That setup is the DB212 but it's really just two DB124's wired in parallel in a good lookin box.

Yeah i heard about the kick panel set up being pretty bad I'm never really going to consider it.

If you move the high pass filter on them up, they'll sound better but then your subs will be more localized which will also suck. Can't really win with that setup.

well my front speakers are through the head unit and not any amp, i do hear fair amounts of mid-bass coming from them but they're just low powered compared to the sub and tend to get drowned out. Another note is my sub box is too big (.86cf) while my subwoofer is rated for .66cf. i just need to find the best way to fill it.

I suppose i meant tuning the crossovers on the amp for the subwoofer. The visonik is a mono class D and has a LPF 50 - 250hz and a "Sub sonic" 20 - 50hz. which makes it confusing for me. I liked the alpine which just had one crossover adjustment. Another note is my sub box is too big at .86 cf, the subwoofer is rated for .66 cf sealed. which im sure also adds to distortion

blowing a speaker doesnt mean they suck, polk makes good stuff. ur actions is prob the reason they blew.

I very much knew the limit of them. I played with them and put them on the verge of distortion to keep track of how loud was too loud. By no means are they the best but they are a heck of a value IMO.
