boomin Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 i know this has probably been asked 1000 times, but ima try and not be a noob about it and at least give all the details of the system. which setups louder ? 1) 12" AQ HDC3 in 2.5 cubic box ported tuned at 38 Hz, powered by ED nine.1 amp OR 2) 2 Alpine type R's 12" in a 3.9 cubic ported prefab box (still very nice/large though with 3/4 MDF ect), powered by ED nine.1 Considering i have the electrical to support both setups, and its going into a sedan, which one should hit harder? i was told the alpines will because of more cone area, but i was also told the AQ makes up for lack of cone area by having a big Xmax.

boomin Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 how much louder? worth the $$$ spent for the upgrade? and how much is my AQ worth (copper coil D2 12") Quote 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...
teamace24 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 For sure Alpines although you could go two sdc2.5 12 and beat the type r by a little with the same amp assuming a 38hz box.

boomin Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 didnt realize how well they held their value..... i already have 1 type r from an old setup....so for like $130 + a box from best buy which is like 100 i can pretty much even out here.

teamace24 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Do not buy a box from best buy TRUST ME, ive made 3 boxes already for my different subs and all came out 1000 times better than prefabs. When i first started in car audio, i bought 2 prefabs online from the best sites, and all dissapointed me compared to when i built my very first one for less than $50. If you need a design ask around and you will get one.

boomin Posted May 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 yea but i have a $50 coupon so basically a new box is only $50...and its built at what alpine recomends (3.9 cubic, alpine recomneds 2.0 max per sub) AND its ported....its a prefab but not like the typical cheap ones its a good one with 3/4 MDF. (not the typical 1/2" cheapo wood not even ported pussy shit) i am definetly not building my own box i dont have the tools/skills necessary...

teamace24 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Share Posted May 6, 2010 Do you know what the box is tuned to? Personally i would give them about 34-36hz tuning. But depends really on the music you play.
