jmilch Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 It should be much louder than the 12w7s. I have a example for you... AQ and DD subs are made by the same people. The AQ HDC3 series is comparable to the DD 35xx series. My friend has a jl 10w7 on 800w, I have a DD3515 on 200w, and my system is much louder. Granted I have much more cone area, but he has 4x the power. You will not be disappointed with two AQ HDC312s. JL makes good equipment, but it's incredibly overpriced for the amount of sound your getting from it. But remember, install is the most important part to making a good system. If you put a $1000 sub in a prefab box, it will sound like shit and you would be better off with a $200 sub in a custom box. AQ and DD are made by family, but not the same people. Also the designs of the subs are not equal but they do show similarity in the soft parts. I just dont want the OP to be misled into thinking the AQ's are direct cheaper clones of the DD's, because they are not.

Supercharged DCs Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 They are only available on their website, but you may be able to find some used in the For Sale section. You don't need to look around for someone to build you a box, you can do it yourself. It isn't extremely hard, I just built my first box and it sounds AMAZING! Quote Bassless once again.

TeamHT Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 He's also overseas...so I'm thinking he wants it done so he can come home to pure awesomeness. Although I'm almost ALWAYS a fan of doing your own work. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Well, I can't comment on your area of residence, but hopefully you can find some members in the area willing to help. If not, I'm more than sure they can point you in the right direction for local shops who can do the work without raping your skull. The AQ subs are nice, but you can look around. There are many partners on the site who offer awesome products at awesome prices which could deal the damage you're looking for. But more importantly, is going to be enclosure (design and placement).

You may be able to find some better subs for a better price. But install is close to EVERYTHING. Quote Bassless once again.
