Audiopipe 3000

Well I'm looking at getting an AQ HDC3 18", and I was wondering if it could take 3000 watts, or should I get Dual 1 ohm and wire it to 2 ohms so it is getting 2000 watts?

be careful that amp can easily blow that sub. if ur careful with ur vol knob get it...

I bet it can't blow that sub. Maybe with extreme clipping and left on for 1 hour straight.

with a D1 sub, you can wire it to .5 or 2 ohms. You will be getting 3000 watts. How did you get 2000? You will get 2000watts when you get a D2 sub and wire it to 4 ohms.

that wont blow that sub if you know what youre doing. ive seen the hdc315 aluminum take 4kw

wont kill the coil but shredd the spiders, that is the weak point on those subs.

you all know that the new "revision" of the HDC3 will be out VERY SOON. Newly designed 8 spider pack, and a newer copper voice coil. DJ said it is much improved.

How much more is the new HDC3 gonna be, because the 18s are on sale for $250 right now.

 

[power-fanatic07 5,000+ posts]

i run my hdc318 on a aq 2200d @.5 not too sure what that does (watts) never clamped it. and it does fine im sure if you set gains right you will be ok mine is also a copper coil getting ready to strap 2 aq2200's and see if it will blow i have a alum recone on the way.

I had customers call and say they burned the coils out on their HDC3's with SAZ-1500D's, but I think that's 3 hours of full tilt ridin round town probably with lots of clipping too....

I dont know about 3k but I have never felt my hdc3 warm off of my 2200D even if i clip it a little. I kinda wish I had a little more power to feed it.
