Good Upgrade?

[96MaxGLE 10+ year member]

I'm currently running a 12" XXX ('05 model), powered by a RF20001bd @ 1ohm. I'm thinking about purchasing a pair of DD 3512's, powering them with the same RF amp @ 1ohm. I picked 2 enclosure designs from Moe's sticky...4^ft, tuned to 35hz, 50sqin of port...or...5^ft, tuned to 34hz, 75sqin of port. DD recommends b/t 4-5^ft, w/ 60-75sqin of port, all tuned to 40hz (I want a little more SQ out of them). Do you guys think this would b a considerable upgrade? I know it would b a little louder due to cone area. I've never heard the 3500s b4, so I can't judge them for myself. Also which box would you guys go with? I really don't need a lot of explanation just a simple RE or DD. If you wanna elaborate feel free...I wouldn't mind learning a few things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Thanks in advance for everyone's input //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

should be louder if that's what your going for. SQ just depends, what was your XXX box tuned to?

Not really sure since its a snailshell. I listen to lots of rap, and this setup is n a trunk...so SQ doesn't have to be the best. I've always ran a single sub setup, and this will b my 1st dual setup until I get either HD3's or TC-3000's.

i say get the 3000s, i just want to try some out though, they look alot cool form the front with the tall surround and silver cone, alot more xmax too but it dosent mean anythign

use the 5cuft if you can fit it with the extra port area

well i'm getting either the HD3s or 3000s n a few mnths. I can get a good deal on the pair of 3512s now, and I've been running my XXX for almost a yr now.

Which one of those enclosures would you recommend? Or should I go with the DD specs?
