[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8447822, member: 614752"] DD-Z AFAIK uses 8 layer coil which should hang a bit better than 4 layer used by HDC3. Being able to "most likely" run a 2500W amp into one is NOT the same as it handling 2500W. 99 uses 4" coil which is less efficient than 3". That said 2dB difference is more likely a box or impedance issue more than the subs being that much "better". NSv3 coil is at least twice the mass and volume of HDC3 coil (it's really beefy) and if you don't think people drive around playing clipped sine waves you haven't got out much to see what passes for "music". This topic has come up before and I posted 4 or 5 links to songs where the bass line is pretty much a straight sine wave. If your definition of "music" is Waylon Jennings, sure 2500 no problem to a 3" 4 layer coil, if it's Jeezy/Lil Wayne/etc. you're often in straight sine wave territory. "Should be fine". Assuming your definition of "music" is something dynamic, assuming you're not playing a frequency where your amp sees closer to nominal impedance, and assuming OP has the smarts to turn it down at the early signs of trouble. My rule of thumb is that if they're in here asking, they have no business trying to run more than rated power to a driver, and if we aren't willing to warranty their gear if they manage to break it we shouldn't recommend they try.
