Has anyone looked into the new DD shallow sub (SL712). It looks the Illusion Audio sub but I think that the SL712 can handle more power and has a lower price tag.

SL712 | DD Audio

SL712 Woofer 12"
Nominal Impedance Dual 2 ohm
Fs 40 Hz
Qts 0.756
Qes 0.849
Qms 6.954
Vas 1.148
2-Way Suspension Travel 50mm
Cutout Diameter 11.38"
Mounting Depth 4.125"
Shipping Weight 19lbs
Power Handling 400-800 RMS
Peak Power 1600 Watts
Rec Enclosure 0.5 - 0.8 ft3 sealed

Just going off the specs, the SL712 doesn't seem to be too bad of a shallow sub considering DD is known for their SPL subs. It can handle more power than a Alpine T12, JL 12TW5 and a C12, but it at a cost of Freq Response at only 40Hz.

I'd like to see what other peoples view are on these being used and possibly a decent contender as an solid shallow sub.

looks good for sealed, and 2 inches of Xmech (peak to peak) is pretty great for shallow clearance.

probably needs at least .6 for reasonable extension without massive equalization, but might give the latest shallow winners a run for the money?

That was my impression just by looking at their specs.

Do you have the ability to model them and see how they match-up to what the specs are showing?
