jarrius Posted December 28, 2013 Report Posted December 28, 2013 If you are running the sdc 2.5's they can take about 1k each daily if you know what your doing so Imo just getting the 2200 would be the better/cheaper option. If you just switch subs from 2 12's to 1 18 there is a chance it would be louder but its not known for sure due to so many variables that must be factored in. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole

Yea we will see how the output changes with the 2200 and go from there. I would more than likely save and get 2 18's instead of just one so I don't keep throwing money away into building enclosures. 2001 Chevy Blazer LS Kenwood KDC-HD552U 2 12" SDC 2.5 D4 Fi SP4 18" 4 Sundown SA-12's HiFonics BE 1200.1 Soundstream RUB1.2500D Looking for a 5k XS Power D3100 4 Soundqubed 6.5's (Pro Audio) 2 Soundqubed 3-Way 6.5's 2 Soundqubed Super Tweeters
Joe X Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 Electrical upgrades before the AQ2200 I'd say. better sell the little guys than pop them, but in the end cone area is king, 2 15" would fit best if going for a 18" go for a cool one, 2 12s and one 18 have rather similar cone area.
thefourth Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 x2 on the electrical. Thanks alaskanzx5 I might just do thatI can recone a sub myself. About a year ago I took 2 12" power acoustic mofos and made one sub. I took the magnet and the motor off of one and j b welded it to the other motor and magnet. I had to wind my own voice coil so it would work. After I was done hooked up to 2 boss 5000w amps. And shattered my back and all my side windows came to this thread to recommend soundqubed and ct sounds. OP goes with soundstream. oh lawd.
alaskanzx5 Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 yeah, 2 12s is roughly 224" and 1 18 is roughly 254", its such a small difference that a difference in output would be hard to notice unless in a real nice box imo. t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

Soundqubed subs are not meant to be in a sealed box and will ware out the suspension really fast in a 4th (all from soundqubed) THE EBP tells me, at 62, that the 18" HDC3 CAN be run in a bandpass 4th order. The suspension is stiff, but a properly designed box CAN make them perform perfectly fine in a 4th order bandpass enclosure. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

You can but the sub will not last as long as it should. 2012 Chevy sonic1xSQ HDC3 12 D2RF R1200d 140 square foot of Q-Mat(soon to be installed) 140.2Db sealed on the dash with TL 142 DB sealed on the dash with another meter (was dead on with the TL at a show i was at) 141 on music. strangeduck,on 02 Jan 2014 - 01:39 AM, said: when my car spins out i just put the car in neutral, turn in the direction i want to go and pucker my asshole
