DC Audio??

So I haven't heard of this company and neither has the people that I usually go to for my audio equipment and while asking someone a question about what set up I want they told me about DC Audio.. He said I should get DC Audio Stage 2 has anyone had any experience with this company?? I'm wondering if I should look more into it. So opinions welcome.

Alright, thanks guys. I was just wondering because someone said he could get me a deal on them. So I wanted to get some insight on them before I was to blindly purchase them and get a raw deal. I'm going to be looking at the 12" CVT Kickers tomorrow to see how much I can get them for.

Don't waste your time with kickers, get some real subwoofers like Fi

They are not shallow subs, but 1 Fi sub will hit harder than any number of kickers.

holy crap you guys are funny, ive talked to the owner of DC before customer service is almost unmatched, eric, the set up you heard was the crappiest set up i have EVER head, alot of that probably had to do with a box that had zero bracing in it, and a crappy amp to top it all off, i wouldnt hesitate to get dc any day, especially the level 2s, go around and read on a stereo forum and ask their opinion, i can promise you its completely different than what these guys are saying

Bottom line, parts are cheap on the DC line, Motors are very generic and coils to gap ratio is huge!

Ever pulled apart one of their subwoofers and observed what they have internally? lol seriously bro, they are garbage. At best.

While a big step up from DC, Fi surely isn't the end all of car audio subwoofers. Their Q series is decent and I did like it, I liked their small box performance. But still, not the best.
