bassrace Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 no i have 2 american bass xd 12s on an 100.1 vfl amp at 1500rms and want to know if its worth to upgrade to hdc3 12s on the aq2200d... I think so.... But those AQ's will laugh at that power, unless you have a really efficient box.

notorious97200 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Ook. Sorry ! I don't know about those subs. Can't tell you nothing ! From 1500 to 2200 watts rms ? Only a meter can see a change, not your ears. You need to double the power to hope for a 3 dbs increase to hear something. Take a look at the DC website for good subs !!! Or Sundown, or Fi. You can find great subs in the For sale section too. Quote black BMW X1 2.0 l 192 hp OEM head unit, Amplifiers : Audison AP 8.9 amp with integrated DSP and Ampere Audio 1200. Focal ES 100 K in front doors, and Dayton RS 180 for midbass under the front seats. 2 SSA DEMONS 10" subs, in a 2.6 ft3 ported box.

notorious97200 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 It WILL be louder, on the meter. From experience. There are much better subs than those AQ hdc and you know it. They're not bad, they can be loud and take a lot of power. But it's hard to say they sound good. Just my opinion, I'm not an expert. Get what you want OP.

DDZ, warden, lvl 6 lol. But seriously I love my AQ's and I think they sound great, it's no SQ woofer but it sounds good to me, what "sounds good" is all user preference. Have you built multiple boxes with the HDC3's and tried them in every scenerio? Or do you just read about them online and how they "dont get low" and dont "sound good"?

bassrace Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Just throwing this out there. Why not try and get a second 100.1? I would think it be more power than 1 2200 Quote 145.9@40hz 145.3@34hz big 3 X2 group 34 Deka Group 31 All 0/1 awg jl meta wire Alpine CDA 7894 Orion HCCA D5000 2 AQ HDC312's Crunch gpv1100.2 (for 6.5"s only) AQ pro audio 6.5" - 3 sets AQ supertweeters - 2 sets 2000 Slamry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
