problem with that is the only box i got for a 15 is 5+cbs sealed and the brahma needs around 2.5 and i dont member what the audioque needs but im really busy with work and dont have the time to build a box or even $ to buy one to just test or i would try them both out

AQ needs 4-4.5 cubes ported, they are not a sealed box woofer

5 cubes sealed is not a box for the average 15.... way way too big. That's 18" sealed territory.

If you have in mind of running a sealed box, I would run the Brahma. That HD3 doesn't work very well in sealed boxes, and the brahma will work pretty well. If you are going to run ported HD3 all the way. Just kindof depends on what your goals are, and how much room you have.

Its already been said: It depends on what YOU are looking to get out of this system. The brahma will get loud and sound great, it will require a smaller box and less power.

When I had my brahma MKI I only had 800w to it in a 3.5cft enclosure tuned to 32 and it **** near shook my truck apart.

well the 5 cubes was for my lms, which needs around 13+ for ht which i was gonna use it in.

like i said in the 1st post i want my tuning around 32 so im not going sealed for either, just the only box i got is 5cbs sealed. and i dont have the time right now to build either boxs or the money to pay someone as i am getting my van ready.

Well, then both woofers are going to ****. Sorry, but it's a fact. Try them both in the non-perfect box, since it is setting there, and run which ever you like. If the brahma sounds better, and louder to you, then I would hang on to the HD3 until you have time and money to build a good solid ported box. Then retest. Not much else you can do IMO.

So use that box in HT, it sucks for car audio. I dont know how much more clear we can be about it.

im not gonna run with the 5 cbs at all, i was saying i cant test either subs cause i only got a 5cb sealed box and it wont work for either, im gonna thow that bish away if anything, just wanted to hear some opinions so i can get rid of 1. im getting next week off from thursday- sunday so now i will have time to do my box. will build a 2.5 sealed for the brahma and hopfully a box for the audioque will keep all of you posted

Cool, gotcha. Personally, Id run the Brahma, they are outstanding daily SQL subs.

was thinking that too, but might consider running my brahma in my van since im space confined and maybe my audioque in my burban but i will defiantly be driving my van more since gas prices and i work around 60 hours a week and im in my van or around my van alot we shall see

Brahma by a long shot. The Brahma is a sub designed for SQ that can get loud, so it will sound much better. HD3 is a sub designed primarily for SPL that just so happens to sound ok, but not great. If you want SQ go with the Brahma.

Bro, buy a 6" aeroport, add a bit of wood inside the box, and u got a good box for the HD3.
