Can i be louder and better sounding than my 18''hdc3 while being in a smaller....

If I had to recommend some subs, I'd say two IA DP 12's in 4 cubes or smaller after displacements.

I'd have to agree. That would be a nice setup.

my single 15 was on 4600 watts daily and didnt get warm, so 3500 isnt a big deal with the right motor, granted the sq may not be what your looking for, i have it in a sealed box now and its wickedly clean, and if your looking for an sq system in a smaller box than you may look into running sealed

Ever clamped it because I highly doubt that sub ever saw 4600rms daily.

You won't see, let's say, 3500, out of a 3500W amp unless you are playing 0 dB tones and have no impedance rise.

it was will (thegreatestpenn) that was running it, its on a massive dmx stage 2 motor, now doubt that it can handle that. its built for 5k

4" coil?

i believe its 3" dual 8 layer flat wound aluminum

No way will a 3" coil take 5k daily, sorry man.

we shall see about that once i have my new alt and can start actually running my mmats the way it should be, my bet is it handles it just fine.

That's fact, PSI won't build a sub with a 3" coil to handle more than 3000 to 3500 at the most, and that's because they won't handle that much power.

how much of a noob are you? No 3" coil sub produced can handle a real 5k daily. Hell not even 3.5k. 3k is about the max one will handle but it will have such a stiff suspension that it wont be ideal for daily. Even if your amp puts out 4-5k I would venture to say your sub might be seeing 2k after rise.
