mxman38 Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 I know this has been discussed several times but i feel in different applications it might be necessary for different opinions. After the tear down this is for sure whats going in: 1 18" hdc3 18 in a 5.5 with 6" aero ports(under cargo cover) @ 33hz 1 Orion 2500 @ half ohm ///Then upgrading to an aq 3500 @ 1 ohm during winter. What are yalls opinions on running 3kwrms to 1 18...do i need aluminum or should i stick with copper coils. I have 7 cubes gross to work with. 1 18" seems to be the most cone area to go with.

bassrace Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) At that power you might wanna go aluminum. But I'm sure the copper coils will love the orion but idk when you uprage to the AQ. Edit: so are you gonna recone it when you get your new amp?

mxman38 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) yeah i will have too, unless i decide to run the aq at half. So you think copper will take 2200ish daily... and if i decide to go more do the aluminum? I have always been a multi sub set up guy, but i think if the enclosure is done correctly, i wont be let down. Edit* i suppose i can do any 18" woofer.... my budget is around $500 though Edited September 6, 2011 by mxman38 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranny Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 how are you going to wire to .5 ohm on one amp, then 1 ohm on the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxman38 Posted September 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 recone... or just watch my voltage @ half on the 3500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassrace Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 Well Get the coppers and when you get the new amp see if the coppers can handle it, if not you were gonna have to recone it anyway.
