I plan on putting a Sundown SAZ-3000d to an 18" AQ here shortly. I think it will be ok as long as the gains are Conservative.

You could run a million watts to the HDC3 and it will be fine as long as u know what your doing

You're right. You stop when you smell the coil, right?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif?//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

No you stop when you see flames DUHHH,, J/K...LOL Just keep a eye on it and just set the gains right and you should be fine

Its all box dependent...but really you need a big coil to hold up daily to that many watts.........trust me. It should be a 4" coil with good cooling design for daily.

I agree with you completely. But after efficiency loss , box rise, and whatever else you can think of, it aught to be about just right......Maybe:crazy:

I had a 12" btl on a 2500d for a while,Worked out just fine.

 

[5.3bowtie 10+ year member]

well my problem is i only have 2.5-3 ft^3 of box space to work with max. (in between my seats in a reg cab chevy). basically with the music i listen to my doors have enough mid bass for me i just want some strong 140's out of a 12" (only have 13.5" between seats) that i can make a good showing at a competition with that would still play day in and day out on relatively low volume.

So sq is not a main priority because when i listen to my normal music i will have the sub down low with my door speakers.

The Mach 5 SPL12 is 2.5k rms, so it should be fine with 3k too... Recommended 3 cubes tuned to 36hz..so if you can get 3 cubes net, this sounds like a good choice for you. The price is also extremely reasonable compared to other subs of its caliber. Also, if you got 8k RMS to throw at it,they say it can take it for burps. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

This sub seems to fit your criteria and would be a loud daily setup that would be capable of high numbers too if done right.
