OrionStang Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Im trying to get some feedback on these subs. 4" vc on a 12" sub is hard to pull off. So if anybody has any input, please leave it here. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread

TRTC360 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Ken I can't speak for the HDC4's but I know the HDC3's are some bad ass subs, not bashing the product but if you're looking for a low tuned ground pounder these subs aren't what you want, with such a high fs and stiff suspension they aren't ideal for low tuned enclosure, sure if you put them in a box tuned to 30-32hz they will get low but that's expected with a box tuned so low, they like big boxes tuned between 34-38hz with lots of port, 14-18sqin per cube, the HDC3's can take a shit ton over rated power and it's probably the same for the HDC4's.

Omega5002 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 The HDC4's have a very stiff spider, which is why AQ reccomends a slighty high tuning of at least 36 to the 40's, about 16 per on the port, and a very large box. This guy did a 154 from the trunk on a pair of the 12's on 2 AQ3500's, think he mentioned he had them in a large box, with a tuning of at least 38hz if I recall. I'd ask him on youtube for HDC4 12's advice 2003 Kia Sorento Team Subsonic LowsTeam Bassin' on a Budget2016 Rebuild Under Construction Best score: 150.2 at 40hz (3k, 2 Custom HDC3 15's) Usaci style(door open, in the kick)
OrionStang Posted January 26, 2013 Author Report Posted January 26, 2013 Yeah, Im looking at the specs on them. Biggest box I can give them would be 4.34 after disp and thats with only 14.5 in of port per. SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
TRTC360 Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 that should be fine with the amount of power you'd be putting to them, good control of the suspension and a flatter response '93 Firebird Formula V8 H/U- Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X395 Mids/Highs Amp- Hifonics ZXI80.4 Wiring-KNU RCA's, Speaker Wire, And Two Runs Of Trystar 1/0 G34 Red Top and a 180amp Ford Alternator www.youtube.com/TRTC360
Real96SS Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 Looks like that 154 was at like 60hz or something stupid high. Ken its a reason there's not many 4" VC 12's on the market.

pa-pa-platypus Posted January 26, 2013 Report Posted January 26, 2013 i've got mine inna 2 cube box with a 6inch aero.. digs pretty far below tuning (im tuned mid 40's) its on a dc 3.5k and it will get warm after a while but nothing too crazy.. i do plan to try some larger/smaller boxes soon as it warms up lol i think it could handle a larger box than what i have it in they are some stiff bitches This isn't teeball. YOU DO NOT GET A TROPHY JUST BECAUSE YOU SHOW UP. Put the work in and then maybe get the respect when it has been earned 151.6 with single 12 at 41 hz 153.2 with 2 12's at 43 hz power: dd m4
