Rst Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) Hello all. New on here, been browsing for a while now, and decided to join the community! I currently have a HCCA 12.2 off 1.2k (4.3cuft @ 32hz) and it hits LOW... However, Im looking at upgrading to a single DC lvl4 15 or 2 LVL3 12's, My question is will either of these compare to the hcca? Im after hitting HARD & LOW and for now I will run from a solid 1200w rms. Im after lows and flex I guess I feel in some ways I am downgrading, from a hcca to a level 3, But will the cone area of 2 x 12's be better than the single 15? I knew I should of kept my other amp and I would go for 2 level 4 15's! Thanks all Edited June 17, 2009 by Rst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanz Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 (edited) youd notice the difference since its more cone area.why not just tune your hcca's box lower if you want the low lows edit nvr mind your box is kind of low at 32 so why not get another hcca?

You can't expect them to travel up some dirt road in a hick / back woods town. Thats how horror movies start I explain things very simply and use analogies in terms of Pickles, and grape drink, pool noodles and jackhammers...if you can't put 2 and 2 together there man, There simply is not much more I can do.

enemyofsilence Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 there are many factors here such as the the box and the electrical powering it. but you really cant go wrong with dc. Quote Team Bass-Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07sOnAtA sp.ed Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 well im currently running an HCCA 12.2 also. i have multiple subs, and surprisingly even 2x 12's dont get as loud as my one Orion. but the 2x 12's are in a 3cube box, while the orion is in a >2.5cube box. another thing to consider is the 2x 12's i put in were not DC lvl 3's, so for all i know the lvl 3's may be alot louder.

Rst Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Its in a small hatchback car also, so it seems to pound hard, even off of 1.2k. I wounder if I were to give it another 1krms it would hit harder / lower.. Seems like lots of room for improvement but ideally i dont want to as this would mean new amp, alt etc. I have everything 0awg, tb3, 100+ ah battery in rear also, and even with the 1.2k on a test tone drops after a minit or 2. (65A alt) Im loving the look / sound of the dc's, I just wounder if off of 1.2k its going to be louder / lower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pair of DC lvl3 12s off of a 1600w Brutus. Quote Check out my build and the band Like We Always Do! Once you start you can never stop. Bass addiction is serious.
