qcbangin Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 i was just wondering if anyone has had experience with AQ hdc3 18's? just wondering about there power handling. i seen on youtube people pushing them with 2000rms+. can these subs handle that kind of power daily? i just ordered one with dual 1ohm coils. my amp claims to push 3200rms at 1ohm. i don't believe it cause it is a power acoustik BAMF5500. not the best amp, but it does it's job. just want to make sure i'm not going to blow this sub as soon as i power it up.

dtleonard26 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Well what are you plaining on wiring to cause dual 1s Don't wire to 1ohm by themselves only to .5 and 2 ohms So I would wire to 2 ohms cause that amp won't handle .5 at all Quote Bagged 83 C10 89 K1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSanders17 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I doubt you will blow it with that amp. Just make absolutely sure your not sending it a clipped signal. You also wont be able to run that amp at 1 ohm since you ordered a dual 1 ohm sub. It will have to run at 2 ohms or .5 ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qcbangin Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 i didn't think so either, but this is my first "real" sub. i have always had to run generic brands, and am so excited about getting this sub. it's also my first 18! going to be ran in the trunk of a chrysler lhs. took awhile to save up the money for this sub, and don't want anything ruining it. and yes, i am going to run it 2ohms. amp claims 2500rms at 2ohm, but that is doubtful too. going to start saving again to get an AQ2200. can't wait! thanks fopr the help guys.

dtleonard26 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) Now that amp has a 25% chance of doing rated so it won't be getting all of that 2500watts so you should be good Edit: grammer Edited September 26, 2011 by dtleonard26 Quote Bagged 83 C10 89 K1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lem43606 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 I used to run 2 of them on 2 2200s daily at .35 a piece. haha seriously those amps are awesome and the woofers can handle the power all day long.

qcbangin Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 yes it is. an AQ setup has been a dream of mine for awhile. that dream is slowly coming to reality. AQ is an awesome brand just in itself. they're not overpriced, and they're defenitely underrated! The AQ 2200 is an awesome amp. Im actually going to run 2 of these in my civic once i rebuild it.

dtleonard26 Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Oh he'll ya underrated I love when people ask if I have a system in my truck I say 2 audioque sdc2.5 and they always say oh you run off brand then they get a demo and poof there on the bandwagon Quote Bagged 83 C10 89 K1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qcbangin Posted September 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 i've never had the opportunity to hear AQ in person, but just seeing the damage they do on youtube, and the price tags got me on the bandwagon. where i live isn't real big on the system scene. and the ones that are into systems all run big box store brands. i can't wait to get it, put the AQ on my window, and watch it "wave" to everyone on the street lol. AQ ftmfw!
