2 12" Type-R's vs. 1 12" AQ HDC3

yea in the same box i can see that. but, even an hdc3 in a loaded horn wouldn't outdo two arrrghs, in a simple ported box? i mean, it's a Pete K. design for crying out loud.

Consider my posts because I have played with both subs recently. The only thing that I haven't done is tested a HDC3 vs. a Type R on the termlab.

Yeah, yours is pretty interesting, with the HDC3 sounding better and all. I KNOW the R's will be louded ported vs. ported. But, I'm thinking in a loaded horn, the HDC3 will shine. No???

I'm not very familiar with horns. I'd just go ported.

Rs. i got two 12s sealed in my 03 max getting around 600wrms to each daily. they pound fine. you'll be happy. they shake my trunk enough that it's chipping the paint at the edges of it. sucks.

personally i'd wait for two 15's and port those.

i plan on upgrading to two 15s sometime this or next year, again sealed, i want more bass. ported just takes up to much space and i have to have access to my spare...19!

def go with the Rs.
