i just ordered 2 of the AQ HDC3's. cant tell you how they sound yet but from what everyone says they pound hard plus there on sale for 250 each. they told me that they had 8 left for that price then they was going up to 309 each

all those choices be good the aq will want more then 1500 though i ran mine on a zx1500.1 and was ok but swaped to a aq2200d and was way louder gained like 3 db

AQ is a sweet sub and at $250 is hard to pass up. Do around 6cubes @ 38Hz for daily...

you would need to get the level 5 coil option of u wanna run dem dcs(the stock ones can take it but just to be on the safe side)

geta nice dc sound labs level 4 with the level 5 coils, or an XL (for the future for more power)

Fi BL maybe? They get nice and loud in the right enclosure.

yeah i thought about a fi bl but they need larger boxes to get down, i have heard most of these only need 4.5 - 6 cubes to do well in. I do have an suv but i dont want the subs to take all the room in my trunk.

i have narrowed my choices down to the following:

AQ HDC3

DC LVL 4 w/ LVL 5 coils

Nightshade

RE MX

RD Alpha V3
