Default Quadzilla vs DCC Stereos

Ok guys,
Anyone have any side by side comparisons of Quadzilla vs DCC radios? I'm looking mostly for loudness, the Quad has 4 speakers of unknown quality powered by 13 Watt X 4(RMS) stereo,
the DCC has 2 good quality speakers powered by 22 Watt (RMS) stereo. Do the 4 speakers mean 26 watts vs 22 watts for 2? I know this is kind of lame, I've never had a stereo or fairing on any of my bikes.
Thanks in Advance-

The Quadzilla runs on four separate channels. The inner speakers are run by the front channels and the outside speakers are run by the rear channels.

The eclispe that comes with he hoppe bumps pretty good,but the cd sucks azz(lot of skipping)and to go to the next song on a CD is done by turning the right ****![:'(]Try this with your glove on while moving...It sucks azz big time!!![:@]The speakers are generic but they are marine proof and actually sounds pretty good.Dont know about DCC's though.

Fast Eddie, has posted a bit about Quad's speaker sizes being odd and hard to find if your not buying from Quad.

I know that DCC has 6 1/2inch openings for speakers. (have one) Mine was ordered prior to Willem coming out with the radio and speakers pre-wired as an option. So I've ordered a Marine Sony AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM ready radio a CDX-F50M. My biggest draw back is the volume ****. Its a ****. And not buttons that you can touch and rock the volume up or down. Its a PITA to turn the **** going down the road. Take some finess and time to get the handle of messing with it.

DCC knows that and has a radio that has buttons vice the **** for volume. Other then that I don't know any other differences.

I do know mine is "damn" loud with 6 1/2s up front and in pods in the rear!

I'm thinking of putting some sub's into my lower fairing glove boxes some time! Just have to work out the details and get-er-done.
