CDetty Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Is 5.5 cubes after displacement enough for a single HDC3 18? On SQs site, in the tech support section, it says 5 cubes would work for a single 18. Anyone else have an opinion? 1999 Honda Civic- RIP 2003 Acura RSX Type-S
zydrix Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 I'd go bigger if it was me, I'm sure it would work, but I'd do 6-7 cubes after displacement an port, but it also depends on the power u plan on running.

CDetty Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Posted July 31, 2013 I dont have the biggest trunk to fit this in, so Im hoping 5.5 cubes will be good. I might try and up it to 6 cubes. 1999 Honda Civic- RIP 2003 Acura RSX Type-S
zydrix Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Honestly, if u didn't buy the woofer yet, u may be better off getting an HDC3 15" an put it in a 4 cubic ft box, u will get more output from a smaller sub in a proper size box, then a bigger woofer in to small of a box My build 98 s10 2.2 3 american bass HD 15s with psi soft parts.

bgowdy31 Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 Is 5.5 cubes after displacement enough for a single HDC3 18? On SQs site, in the tech support section, it says 5 cubes would work for a single 18. Anyone else have an opinion? i had one before and ran it in a 5.30 cubes net box, it did very well considering i didnt have alot of power going to it with t being a smaller box. not saying its a good idea but it worked for me. 99 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE1 American Bass HD15-D1 ~ THE PLAN- ?

newschoolsoundz Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 usually smaller boxes on a sub means you plan to over power it
newschoolsoundz Posted July 31, 2013 Report Posted July 31, 2013 you build the box off the power you plan to run will have alot better success if you do this
Bam Bam Posted August 3, 2013 Report Posted August 3, 2013 I was curious about this as well I want to run AQ HDC3 18's and feed them about 15k watts. I have roughly 5.3 cube net for each sub to sit in. I was wondering if it would work. 6 Funky Pup 12's
