Is one better than the other? Both have the same MSRP. I heard that the smaller 4000R is the better sub. I heard the 5000 is boomy.

boomy is the result of sub/room location (not because of driver size) i believe they are both tuned the same


if it's the same price, get the bigger sub.

Wondering if the DLS 5000R is too big for my room. Gone to measure.

the 5000r shouldn't be boomy

I moved from a 4000R to an MFW-15.


There really isn't any comparison. The "suggested" retail price of the 4000R is absolutely ridiculous compared to what you get. I paid far less than retail for mine, and never having even HEARD a real sub before - a round of test tones showed it couldn't do anything substantial in the 20hz range - 30hz was the last tone it played. In that price range you should be able to get something around 20, even a little bit below, especially if you are talking retail.


If I was shopping again (and I'm not - very happy), I'd be looking at SVS, Epik, eD and Hsu. Which is what I was looking at before I bit on the MFW.

these subs are crap compared to just about every I.D. Sub out there... I have the 5000r and it's pretty weak. I'd go w/ a 3.3 or mfw before the 5000.

I'm going to pick up the 4000R. I'm getting it for $350. I'm renting right now and my house has small rooms. I think it will do the job til I move out and get an SVS.
