Audioque HDC3's - SQ vs SQL vs SPL


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hey Im Planning on getting 2 15" HDC3's On an AQ2200D. Its a daily driver setup and i wanted to aim for an SQL setup. i dont know what an SPL setup sounds like but i like sound quality AND low, hard hitting bass. Will 2 HDC3's achieve what im aiming for (SQL) or should i go with a different setup?

Box Specs - 7 Cubes @ 36hz

(PS i had 2 Type R's Before. Sounded Great, did get low to an extent, but not THAT low)

are they anything like R's?

I have a feeling your idea of SQL is wrong. You want hard hitting bass that gets low and sounds good doing that in a Daily Driver. Sounds like SPL to me :P

I'd make the box a bit bigger, 8cubes. But that's just me...

Bassless once again. Can't seem to keep a system for more than a few weeks :)

my question to you is.. how are you getting 7 cubes in the truck of a Buick regal?

he wouldnt be the first to say they did a 167 with a system like that (one that clearly DOESNT), but i have to say, he didnt beat me anywhere, ive never competed against the guy. If he thinks his does a 167, mine would probably put him in a coma. :hairtrick:

No, your R's are FAR from SQ. Let me ask you a question, and I don't mean to sound harsh, but do you even know what an SQ system consists of?

Build a good ported box for the Aq HDCs and you will be MORE than happy with them.

maybe i could help but first, you gotta lemme know. if SQ is sound quality, and SPL is sound pressure level, wtf is an SQL setup?

All i know is that SQ setup consists of precise subs which hit notes on fast and clean.

SPL are more of low hard hitting bass that are a little sloppy

Your idea of SQ & SPL is wrong then.

It all depends on the install. If you build a good ported box, it will hit fast and clean, but if you build a crappy box, it may very well be sloppy.
