Seriously I was just browsing american bass' site when I ran across the HD 15 which looked suspiciously similar to my HDC3 15

I looked closer and thought "wow those are REALLY similar" so I went and lugged the aq over and compared what I saw to the american bass photos and they are EXACTLY the same.

I don't know if this has been brought up before, but what's up with that? The cone is even the same besides the dustcap.

I can Confirm that the 18 looks just like my HDC3 18 as well. Anyone know what the pricing is on them? Most likely similar I would imagine. I'm almost interested enough to pick one up and compare.

On AB website it says it's a 300oz magnet on AQ it's a 340oz magnet.

I read before somewhere on drop in tests the AQ was louder by a .1 or soo but I dont know how true that is.

Yeah that's the only difference I noted

However if you look at the pictures the scale is exactly the same

They have different soft parts and top plates the american bass subs are rated higher but tend to have problems on any over rated power and the audioque hdc3/4s take well over rated power. If im correct the last time i checked the american bass subs cost a ton more also.
