Got a bit more power than my current sub can handle, so wanting to upgrade the sub to a soundstream pcw-12 (got 400WRMs to play with @ 2ohms)
Interested to know if anyone has any experience with this brand of subs.
Was going to get an SSA dcon from the US but shipping is a bitch, so sticking to brands available to me here. The most well known brands available to me here are kicker, jl audio and soundstream.
Definitely not going kicker, their gear fails on sq from what I've read. jl audio and soundstream were the only two I was really considering. Hopefully will get a good deal on this pcw-12, wanting to know if anyone has any experience with this brand of sub+ feedback on them.

Cheers.

I know lol, but the postage costs to get an ssa here was over twice the cost of the sub itself.

SSA are not worth it due to shipping imo... Unless you get them within the states or free shipping. Soundstream are great but often overpriced for what you get. In my opinion get a DC Level 2 12" should move nicely off 400-600rms and sound clean doing it.

unfortunately the main brands I have access too here are just jl, kicker and soundstream. Havent seen any DC gear here for sale. Just fyi the SSA DCON I was looking at was $140 and the postage was $353 lmao. Screw that.

DC doesn't vend to local shops usually you have to contact them or find an online vendor. SS is a good brand just pay a lot for what you get imo.

They do vend to local shops, just now in New England because theres not much margin for profit.

Why do you talk like you know? Theres no store vendors unless you live in Cali or next to Rusty... Name one place that sells DC in-store. They don't even have a Store Locator so you can find local shops that sell them like most companies. All there are, are on Sales Reps like myself and shops home to Rusty.

Also I'm working on bringing DC to Maine as we speak by next summer I should have DC's sold everywhere in New England it's a growing name.

Also I was slightly wrong just asked Jim and there are a few vendors in the mid-west... They are recent Vendors though as Avoid said NONE in the new england area though, I'm not a Vendor per say more of a Sales Rep.
