  1. Oh man, I am so tuned into this. I have a 2004 Mazda 3 HB and am thinking about running one American Bass HD 15, which is very similar to the AQ woofer. I currently have 1 Pioneer TS 5102 SPL, but that sucker weighs 75 lbs by itself lol. Wouldn't it be cool to have a super light weight sub box for a hatchback that still bangs?

    I recently did a bandpass for two 15s on 1500 watts RMS in a trunk car and it turned out awesome. I don't know the parameters of the AQ, but its a simple matter to plug them in to ISD Beta for a gain plot.

  2. Hello every one im new to these forums and i need some box help

    im going to by 4 18" and build a box for them.

    i drive a 95 ford explorer the trunk space can only get up to 17.32 cubic feet(including port and woofer displacement)

    this comes down to 4.32 cubic feet per woofer.

    the box is tuned at 33 hz

    im buying pyrimad 18" 1k rms 4 ohms

    is that going to work well. and sound good?

    Man, you had better not buy those...

  3. Man, I'm just quitting too, so I definitely feel your pain. So far, I'm doing good aside from the occasional longing to fire up. I got a gigantic pail of candy canes and went to town on them the first and second day. They taste better than cigarettes and kill time until the urge to fire up has dissipated and you're doing something different.

    Also, try to stay busy as you can and time will pass before you think about smoking. 5-10 minutes of meditation in the dum early hours of the am seem to help a lot with the frenetic mindstate conducive to mindlessly firing up too. Good luck for real, but YOU CAN DO IT!

  4. I'm currently looking at the HD3 15s as well, but the American Bass HD 15 is also out there. I like the AQ because it has a composite cone, but the AB has almost the same exact features. For me, the price will probably determine the winner, but I would suggest talking to people who have owned the subs you want after they get new subs.

  5. You don't have to have a million watts rms if you build the box right. Make the box as huge as you dare with one monster square or round port and you can easily get by with 1k rms or so.

    I like this type of thread becasue it deals with what most people can and are willing to put in their cars. Nobody but us wants to swap alternators or ride with 10 batts in the trunk. The money is in amps that play behind a wire only.

    We have used audiopipe, hifonics brutus, and american bass amps in the past without problems with any one of them. I know for a fact that the ap 15001d and the matching 4 channel can be had for well under 400 dollars and would sound great in a system.
