The thing about the D112 is that it's tailored to give you a "ready to go" kick sound, there's a pretty distinct eq curve to it. So that's fine if that's the sound you're going for, but you're kind of stuck with it. I usually prefer the 421 inside the kick, it's just a little bit more neutral, and it takes eq better. I have a d112 that hasn't left it's box in about 2 years.
