1 AQ HDC3 or 2 AQ 2.5sdc

[audioklik]

well I have been looking at these subs for a while now and I have narrowed it down to either 1 HDC 12 or 2 SDC 12's. Either set up will be powered by an AQ1200d.

So I was wondering if anyone had and suggestions?

I like the idea of a single sub setup(saving space) but I'm not sure if it will have the output I want.

My last system was a set of Pro Tech 12's which metered around 139.9. which isn't too great but I am looking for something around that level of output.

Thanks for any suggestions or advice you can give me.

What kind of vehicle will this go in?

I can't really tell u what either will hit on the meter in comparison to the pro 12's, but i can tell you off that amount of power, the 2 SDCs will probably be louder than the HDC, as long as both boxes are well designed/built.

Now, if you are really striving to save space, 1 HDC in a proper box will probably be louder than the 2 SDCs in box a made too small for them.

it will be going into a 2008 honda civic 4dr.

Trunk is an ok size.

Old set up was in a 2002 dodge neon

Off that amp and with the right box, the SDCs will get louder.

I kinda assumed that, due to more cone area.

But I guess what I am looking for are to see what numbers people have been able to get with a single HDC off power around 1200w.

because like I said I like the idea of a single sub, but I also don't want to lose output.

Thanks for the replys

skmfkr did a 144.1 with that amp with a single 15" HDC3 on the TL.

I have one....pushing almost 2000 watts through it but never got measured but I used to have the 1200D on it, then upgraded and could tell a big difference.

I'd go with the HDC just because you could get another one down the road.

Thanks for all the input. Now I am leaning more towards a single 12 HDC w/ plans to add a second sometime in the future.

But I guess its time I go do some measuring to see what I can make fit.

Thanks again
