Superb Sound Quality
It digs super deep and sounds really clean. I have it on 500 watts and the box is a little bigger than suggested at 1.4 after all displacements, This is my living rooms active subwoofer and it was an excellent choice.

Pricey but worth it
Never ran any of DC Audio products but was wanting a decent subwoofer that would work well in a small box so I didn't lose alot of trunk space. These Level 2 12s fit the bill. They really impress me to be in ported box with around 1.28 cu ft each and Incriminator Audio 10.1 amp running them they work and sound awesome for my daily use. I figure with the setup I have they're probably getting at least 500w each and they perform very well with that. They're punchy and like to dig low actually lower than they can so for me subsonic filter was definitely a must. But after tweaking that all is good. They sound like they're in bigger box. I'm still breaking them in for a little bit but I can tell they're going to be fine the way I'm running them. Build quality on these are top notch. I'm gonna run these and if all goes well I my try the Level 3. Like I said DC is pricey so its something to think about.
