I bought one of these to replace my 2 orion HCCA black coal 15"s they just took up too much space in my suburban. Originally i was going to buy TEAM FI 18 but there ordering process proved to be a pain in the butt. so i came oN here to see if sonic had anything what was as good as the fi. I have herd of dc but wasn't very familiar with them but i looked around on youtube and figured i would give it a try.

1# i have to say i wasn't very impressed with the shipping compared to how the orion came. not that these where not protected they just seemed more thrown together.
2# The contents of the box. you only get the speaker and a decal no owners manual ? no wiring diagram no nothing.
3# the build quality the gluing on the edge of the spider looks like my 8 year old daughter did.

but despite all those issues this think is a monster complete beast sounds equally clear and hits just as hard as the 2 orions. I love this thing and i will never get rid of it i highly recommend it.
