DD3512 vs DD9512

Just looking to upgrade my current setup, hopefully I'll get some trunk back and be a bit louder.

I'm stuck on either getting a pair of the 3512 or the 9512.
I have 2400watts to power either pair.
I have room for about 6.5ft^3 net air space.

I'm wanting an SQL setup, something that I can listen to and something that'll get decently loud, at least a 145 on TL.

This is for a daily drive that may goto a few comps this year.
Suggestions, comments all welcome.

with that power range for your application, i would say the 3500's would be preferrable for you.

next show july 1st im gonna see if i can break 145, while still using it for daily play.

3512 is a excellent woofer, id recommend that!
144.4 with a single 12? sweet!

I think i'll be getting a pair of the 3512s
Just wish i could hear them b4 i buy

My 9512's were 1.1 dB louder than the 3512's I tested. Out of the 3512, 9512, and 9912, the 9512 sounded the best by quite a bit too.
