Recommended Posts

ok, so the aq's are looking like a def possibility.... i'm looking at their specs, and cant find a suggested cubed footage for ported... anyone? (sorry guys, been out of the audio game for about 5 years now... trying to get back in the swing of shit)

current build:

99 bagged montero sport

subs: 4 AQ HDC3 18's, walled in a clamshell box

amps: subs- 2 modded AQ 2200's, running 2550 at 1 ohm each

components: (rf p1 8:(midbass), 2 cadence cwm 6.5, memphis pr 6.5 coax)- each door

HU: android galaxy tablet, Kenwood KVT-516

2/0 gauge ran all around

6 optima red tops (will be updated, i get them DIRT cheap)

keeping my fingers crossed for membership into the 160 db club!

7.65 cubes per sub. so ~15 cu ft, Id go with 190-220 inches of port. tuned to 32. thats just me though.

AQ's dont really get that low. But they do get loud. Ive gotta 15" BTL n2 and it kills the lows. look into DC or Digital Designs

ive personally never heard the AQ so i wouldnt know on the lows, as far as DC'c i know they crush the lows, but think you might be a little out of budget for the power you have on tap. i wouldnt suggest anything less than the XLs with 2k per sub. and im guessing but i think they will be more than 600.

These would hurt your insides in the right box, a little more then your looking for in price but have heard nothing but good about IA.

300 a sub for 18's isnt gonna get you very far unless you buy used. & yeah ive heard a walled off van with four AQ hdc3 18's and it was loud and everything but it didnt hit those lows which are oh so good lol

quit telling people they dont have enough money, that IS NOT HELPING. I'm sorry you buy over priced things. Such as F-It.

he can find plenty of 18s in that range dude. you just need to learn how to shop around. its like three times ive read you just being a debbie downer.

thanks bro....

and FYI XX7r its not that i dont have enough money for subs... its that i'm doing an entire rebuild of my truck all at once (air ride, audio, video, interior, body/paint) ... if i was just looking to throw all that money in the system, i would just go get 4 smd 18's

and also... just curious... which do you guys think would hit harder.... 4 t1000 15's or 2 aq 18's?
