3.5 cube at 40hz and $350 to spend

[Mynameismcgyver 10+ year member]

Friend has a 3.5 cube 40hz aero port box and is looking for a new sub around or under $350 to spend. I understand DD would be a good choice but that is out of the price range from what I understand? Have Alpine Mrd-M1005 1000RMS for an amp.

Audioque hd315?

Opinions welcome!

i have a 12" audioque hdc312 off of 1800 rms watts in a 2.3 cu. ft. box tuned to 38 hz. and it slams for a single 12. better than my 12" FI BL in a 2.2 cu. ft box tuned to 34 hz. So i would say a 15" audioque hdc315 would slam in that size box. The audioque is a pretty impressive built sub.

And at a good price...if that weren't the issue, then a 9515 would be in that thing.

The Hdc3 Needs more power than 1000 rms

Sounds like an HDC3 would like that. But it would also like a tiny bit bigger box, and more than 1000 RMS, especially since it is a smaller box.

So I guess the power being used is an issue. How about an Fi SSD or BL?

The box is good for a 15" in either, it is just the 40 hz tuning that they wouldn't like.

sell that alpine amp, you'll get good money for it. then get the hdc/2200 combo. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

or a sundown 1500/bl

i'm assuming he's using 2 4" aero's if so.....perhaps get a Q and plug one port or something along those lines so that he can have a dialy and a "spl" tune. JMHO

Or off that power an SDC2.5 would do nicely and like the 40Hz tune...

Correct. Plugging one port would raise tuning significantly?

Im going to look at the SDC option but will it take 1000RMS? Stated RMS is 600?

Thanks

It will take 1000 RMS. It is rated pretty conservatively, like the HDC3.
