this really pisses me off, so i have to get it off my chest. so, i'm driving home from the store today and this car in the number 2 lane, a couple car lengths in front of me, decides he needs to turn right instead of left, but he's in the left lane. so instead of looking in his mirrors, he just whips right in front of me and...crunch, i smash into his back passenger side of his car that doesn't even have plates on it yet. i even had my music on so i don't know how he didn't hear me. i honked my horn and slammed on my brakes, but not fast enough. good thing is: there car is totaled and mine has a small crack in the fiberglass bumper. bad news: hit them so hard my new AQ hdc3 18" sub that i just got in there a week ago, gets completely thrown out of the box! i checked it, it still works. just has a couple scratches on the motor. more bad news: now i have to repair/build a new box before i can enjoy this monster again. long story short, dumbass drivers piss me off.

his design was awesome. it was easy to build, and he had the design done really fast. good price, too.

thanks. was just wondering because been seeing alot of boxes like that lately. bare wood all the way around except for the port.

so there's no output increase, or anything like that? just looks?

this may be a dumb question, but was wondering what is the deal with painting the port? i've been seeing alot of videos of boxes with just the port and surrounding area painted. what is the reason for this? thanks.

thanks. i'm getting ALOT more flex now that i'm feeding it more power. pushing about 1500rms into now. got a new vid i'll post in a few days. it's about 6-6.5cubes. not sure on the port. it was designed by strongman designs. it's tuned to 36hz.

in that video, probably around 600watts.

just gotta save up enough money. want to get the AQ2200.

just wanted to add that this is my first 18". please leave comments on what you guys think.

video of AQ hdc3 18" in a trunk. box designed by strongman

bought an AQ hdc3 18". the sub looked brand new, and was packaged perfectly for safe shipping. i had no problems with him, and would defenitely do business with him again. if he is selling something you're in need of, don't hesitate to buy it. you won't be disappointed.

thanks. cool, good luck with the box man, i´m sure you won´t regreat it

i just emailed him. i told him you referred me. thanks.

thanks for the info.

i am willing to pay. i know a good design is going to cost, but i never in the headline that i was. thanks, i'm going to try that.

yes. i emailed him from there.

yes. it's gonna to be built in the trunk. i was wanting the sub facing up, and port back. but the last box i had in there was with 2x 15's ported in a 10cube box. it was ported into the cabin through the back seat armrest. i just don't know if i will get louder ported into cabin again, or if i should keep the port in the trunk. any thoughts?

its's 30"W X 40"D X 19"H.

the car is a 94 chrysler lhs. it will be in the trunk. i listen to rap. will be giving it about 2000rms.

the pm's were sent last week.

thats understandable. are there any other designers? i really don't want this sub just sitting around collecting dust.

okay...i bought an AQ hdc3 18" and it will be here tomorrow. i have all my mdf, glue, etc. problem is, i don't have a box design yet. i was told to check ram designs...did that, and got no response. then was told to pm ray...did that, again no response. what is the deal? does no one want to design a box for me or what? i'm starting to lose faith in finding a designer in the forums. can anyone recommend anyone who won't just ignore my pm's? who is actually wiling to design. i'm willing to pay, and i've never had a problem with anyone in the forums, so i don't understand why no one is responding to my pm's. i don't expect to pm someone and have a design that day, just acknowledgement that my email was recieved, and if they are willing to design it or not.

i'm sure the BTL's put in some major work, but those are a lil out of my price range right now. with what i've had, and the setups people around here have, i'm positive i'm going to love the AQ's. I liked the way my AQ 18s sounded, but they dont even start to compare on how good by BTLs sound.. but im sure your gonna love your AQ i did for the time i had them!

ya, i actually just ordered and paid. sorry. i thought maybe it was gone already since i hadn't heard back from you. thanks for checking, tho. good luck with your sale.
