American Bass HD vs AudioQue HDC3

Bob at AB hooked me up with a pair of 15's to play with and i must say very solid woofers! The most I could put to them was around 2000rms each //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif I would stay around 1500 to 1800 each, they like the power:) As for the AQ never ran one yet, but alot of people on here have had good luck with them!

 
same cone,basket,motor,surround.different top plate,coil.

the 18's are even more alike.

im really not sure that you "know from expierence",anything!
Ive ran a pair of AQ D2 aluminum coils and they took 5600 Clamped watts like a champ.

Ive Ran a pair of AB HD D1s and on the same power/same box the AQs were about .3db louder.

The AB subs took between 8k and 9200CLAMPED watts off of my sampson for about 3 weeks until the cone folded on one. Since Bob hasnt been able to find me a recone for my AB, For shits and Giggles We gutted it out for a recone, Took it over to DJ's house(AQ's Owner) and As thought there Very similar from pics the basket even has its differences, Hypothetically the AQ recones would fit But only if i wanted about a 1/2in of throw before It bottomed out. And Comparatively the AB cones were a considerable amount heavier than the AQs

-So my conclution, Both good subs but different in quite a few ways
