Just because a subwoofer does x.dB doesn't tell you anything about the sub. We can't really tell you what YOU should get, it's really up to what you want from your system. I've had a number of different set ups, and I feel one 15" is the best for me. So, to tell you the truth, you should really go around listening to different set-ups and find out what you like, then make a decision.

the dx sub from american bass is a cheap sub that is an entry level design and i would love to see someone pull a 135 on the tl with a single 10 and 300 watts........the sx15 is a much better sub

its not the entry level .dx is right behind the vfl series.the xo series sub is the entry level then xd followed by the dx & the vfl

135 seems possible on a single DX (unsure of 300watts) but it would really depend on a lot of different things, the biggest of those would obviously be the enclosure and vehicle used along with how well it was sealed... One thing you have to realize is that one enclosure and sub will perform differently in every vehicle... To take a sub and box out of lets say a Chevy blazer and stick it in the trunk or back seat of a Honda Civic, you'll get completely different scores on a TL.

no xd is right behind the vfl, the xo and dx may as well both be the entry level. id sell dx 12's all day long for less than 100 bucks. they arent that good. they are basically the same as a lot of entry level subs out there.

^ Yup it's an easy mistake as both have the same letters but flipped around... I was even thinking of the XD when I first saw the thread, but then realized which we were talking about and that's why I said that a 135 MAY be possible, but I'd really wanna see it as Terry said... For an entry level sub the dx is very good, but overall can't really be compared with an RE SX as they are 2 completely different class of subs.
