Amp for 12 Sq hdc3

[Papabiz]

I just received my Sq hdc3 12 2 ohm. I want to wire it down to 1 ohm. It'll be a 3.5 cubic foot box at 32 hz. I have $400 to spend on an amp. Could possibly spend $450. Suggestions on an amp that'll push it really good for that price or under. Thanks I'm advance.

That box is way to big for that sub.

Since it is big any good amp that can do clean 1300 watts or more will be good enough.

Anything past 1500 watts will make the hdc3 bottom out.

I'm running mine in a 2.2 @ 35hz and it jams. Iirc, that sub box should be no bigger than what was it, 2.5?

Not true at all. Ive owned 5 HDC3s and have 2 in my daily driver on 2 2200s at .5ohms.

Set you subsonic filter right.

It can go 3.5 and slam. As long as the ratios are right of course.

A box that big will just have more efficiency and better low end. You wont need too crazy of an amp, you can get away with an amp thats half that budget.

Just making sure though man is 3.5 cubes NET after accounting port, sub and bracing displacement or is that number gross?

So do you think the Sundown SCV-1500d would be a good amp for it?

Yeah that would be fine.
