My grand plan is to end up with 2 HDC312's an 2 Q2200's, but my moneys slowed way down an im back n skool. I wish id have dun this research 6mnths back, the money i spent on wat i have would'v went waay farther. Im probly gunna use my FA wenever that gets in hand for 2HDS an 1 Q2200. Or if i get work'n sooner then later il jump on 2 HDC's of course. No room for 15's only have 5cu's an i have 1 15 n 4cu rite now.
And you have? Please.
in 5 cubes you could do 4 10's if you can fit the port area, way louder than 2 12's and could take much more power.
If you actually knew anything, you would realize that a lot of that is dependent on the enclosure.
Again this is wher money plays its role, more subs more wiring more money. The way i see it the HDS's will give me more options later because i cud get 2 HDC's. 1 HDC15 cost the same as 2HDS12's, an now we full circle. I guess the only way is a Side by Side comp huu?
All of those were in reccomended enclosures. Except the 18's they were short on port area. The box will effect mechanical limits of the sub, but not what the coils can handle on clamped power. So what your saying is you give sub reccomendations based off specs, then when someone comes in with real experience, you say the box makes the difference to cover your ****** opionion. You sound like a real winner.
Yep. Thats all this hobby is, buy and try. Good luck on what ever you go with, its gonna be loud.
Well now that you guys have me digging deeper, i dont see motor force but i do see the diff in magnet sizes. The HDS's have 145oz mags an the HDC's hav 340oz mags more than twice the weight. How important is that? I figure lighter mags use less power which, im guessing could make the sub more musical? All the Comp Subs i see have massive mags which need gobs of power jus to get going an in turn couldnt be efficient for music....am i a freak'n genius or wat?
False. More excursion = higher thermal limits because the coil is being cooled more.
Magnet weight alone doesn't mean much, but it generally means that the sub will have more motor force. A larger motor can often help disperse heat from the coil better sometimes. Motor force is most closely related to BL - but make sure to compare subs with the same impedance. Having a large motor doesn't mean that a sub can't be musical.
