DC Audio Level 5 18M5D1


Here it is, the M5 Elite version of the Level 5 subwoofer. Built for ground pounding and taking abuse in or out of the competition lanes.

When DC Audio went to the drawing board with this one, they were looking to make improvements in cooling, motor force and soft parts. The end result is a sub that works great in the SPL lanes as well as pounding out the lows!
