boomin Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 So I got my sub today, its a copper coil AQ HDC3 12" im really needing an amp, and i found a Elemental designs 9.1 for 200 shipped...good deal? are these good, reliable amps? and im thinking that it may be too powerfull, being that i've heard these push well over 1200 RMS @ 1 ohm (like 1600 ive heard some claim)....could it be too much for the Audioque 12", with just the copper coils? (in big ported box) F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomin Posted April 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 just bought it for 190 shipped seems like a good deal to me.... F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooter69 Posted April 15, 2010 Report Share Posted April 15, 2010 I've heard they're pretty decent amps...they test them and say they'll do rated power at 12 volts, so if youre electrical is doing over 12 volts, you'll see more power.

boomin Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 so i may be returning my AQ to the kid i bought it from, because after further inspection, is seems like the spider is completely off the bottom of the sub cone....is that normal for it not to be attached to the sub? if not, what would be a good single 12" sub to run off this amp (without over powering the sub) F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...that's not normal. if not, what would be a good single 12" sub to run off this amp (without over powering the sub) You could try any sub that has a 1500 rms rating. Sundown Nightshade (or new Zv2), DC Level 4xl, another AQ, etc. You could also look into PSI subs. I've been looking at them over on CACO and they look like really nice subs. 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" components (active) Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown z15 (3 cubes @ 35 hz) Sundown SAX-1200D 2006 Buick Rainier CXL AWD V8 Stock Bose system 12" Alpine Type E in aeroported box Profile AP1000M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boomin Posted April 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 the kid i bought it from is getting it fixed at a local car shop.. now my only question is, is that if he messed it up with 1200 rms, wont i do the same with well over 1200 rms?

R_Mac_1 Posted April 17, 2010 Report Share Posted April 17, 2010 There's a lot of factors that could have messed it up. 1200 watts is pretty low for an HDC3. Most people run well over 1500 watts to them. 2002 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi Pioneer DEH-P6000UB Alpine SPX-17REF 6.5" components (active) Sundown SAX-50.4 Sundown z15 (3 cubes @ 35 hz) Sundown SAX-1200D 2006 Buick Rainier CXL AWD V8 Stock Bose system 12" Alpine Type E in aeroported box Profile AP1000M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
