HDC315's vs BTL 18


Recommended Posts

I bought my Fully Loaded BTL 18 about a month ago and have been buying all my other stuff. All i have left is batts and amp. A guy messaged me on my face book today and wants to trade me a pair of HDC3 15's (IHNC whether copper or aluminum, 1 or 2ohm, etc...). If i got the 15's id run a AQ2200D with an 8cuft box at 33 giving them 4cuft a piece. If i go with the BTL 18 i'll run the Crescendo 3KWP in an 8cuft box at 32. Which do you guys think would get down better to the ear? I think the HDC3's might be a tad bit louder... but idk just wanted to see what you guys thought.

I'd choose the audioques because of the cone area. You'd have more power with the btl though

Thats what I was thinking... power doesnt always mean louder though.

Ok heres what i got back from him. 1 was reconed, he ran them on a Kicker KX 2500, and they are copper dual 2's, and one has a small blemish in the surround. He sent me some pictures and they seem to be in good shape. What do you guys think good deal?

The subs seem pretty legit but we can't tell you if it's a good deal if you don't state a price

I'd consider that a good deal. Who reconed the sub though? If it was done properly, you'd get a practically new sub and one with a tiny scratch (which shouldn't affect performance). Just keep in mind that you'd have to wire the 15s to either .5 or 2 ohms
