nbshazeezee Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have a single 12 inch HDC 3 subwoofer. I want to get louder. but i like the single woofer setupd. MY amp is a AQ 2200. run great. My question is what should i do? there are a few things that i want to do. What would yall rather see? Should i get another HDC3 12? should i sell it and get 2 skar 12's? Or should i buy a 15 suboowoofer with greater power handling. Like a 15" modified DC from Techforce or a BTL or a DC XL or level 5 ( when they are back) or an SP4.? so basicly. get another twelve, or go more power with a a single 15 Quote Ye dig, getting loud off little (2) AQ HDC3 12 AQ 2200D - Replaced it, Works great AQ4x90 JBL 662s 2 ways (2)XS 5100r under the hood & A 170amp alt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktraughb Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 its a toss up. just adding cone area properly can gain output, assuming its in a way to avoid cancellation. adding a second 12 is more cone than a single 15, but efficiency and box design can also greatly increase output, even if you went to a single 15, especially if you move to a sub with more motor strength. there are instances that even without a change in power, simply more motor force can help spl potential. not always, but i have seen it. my personal opinion, i like more cone area. id go with 2 12s, maybe even 2 other ones that can efficiently make use of the 2200 watts you have. 2200 watts can produce some respectable spl in the right design.

ChevyBoy95 Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 1 15 if you are not changing amps. I have had lower power 15s on a 1k amp, then went to a level 4 15 on the same amp and was louder, way louder (in reality this doesn't have much relevance because all applications are different, but in my case 1 higher power 15 was yummy.)
