Okay, so I think I am going to do this, I am going to get the X-12 and keep my box. Wire it at 1 ohm and do any tuning I have to do with the box.if you want to do two, might want to go with american bass XFL or sundown SA series subs. Dont base your decisions on RMS, rms does not mean louder. The other two subs can easily go toe to toe with the HDS series and they require a much smaller enclosure to do so. 2 cubes as opposed to hds's 2.5 cubes.
I appreciate the recommendations but that is all too much. I am most likely set on 1 X-12 and use the same box I have now.if you want to save a few dollars go with the xcon 15. it would out do a pair of the HDS 3.0s and require about 3.8-4.2 cubes depending on how peaky you want it.the SSA audio woofers kick *** and are a great bargin.
i modeled up a box AFTER parameter shifts aka real world parameters and I see them doing nicely n 4.2 tuned to 36. not terriblly peaky and has lower group delay as compared ot the HDS 12s.
if you think the AQ will handle the .5 ohm load(which is will if ya upgrade your alt to a 240 or so) you could get a dual 1 ohm an it should get a solid 2k.
can you fit this box?
16.5H x 35Wx20D? F3 is 27 hz peak centered @ 38 hz with a 6 bd peak with a faily shallow roll off. at 30 your looking at 0db peak and at 65 hz a 4db peak. so ideall any where from about 36-70 it woul WANG and it will still drop down to 27 or so. if you happen to loar the port closer to a wall it will reinforce that lowen abit. and naturally the cabin will make that slope abit flatter below 35..

It is the wrong dvc option. And I don't want to run it at .5 ohm.
The thing is you didn't read what I wrote. I didn't say the sub is too much for me loudness wise, I am saying its too much as of I don't have a amp that can push it to its full potential. Nobody said the box is "very wrong" for the zv.4. I pretty much am right there spec wise, aside from me not knowing the exact frequency its set too. I just want to get a d2 sub wire it to 1 ohm and it sound like how I would want it to sound. Even if I get the X-12 my box is slightly larger then what's recommended as per sundown audio's specs.Bro u make zero sense!!!! First u say in the first post that this woofer is to much for you.. And your running it at 2ohm... Then we tell you your box is very wrong! Then you say your going to use the same box and a different woofer at run at 1ohm but your running at 2ohm now and it's to much? So why would you want to run at 1ohm if it's already to loud at 2ohm?
This is what u need to do.. Build the proper box. Wire to 2ohm with the zv4 u have and turn gain down if it's to loud for you...
something is seriously wrong with your box... like completely wrong... Port is way too small, box is way too big tuned way too low. If its two 4 inch aeros, it looks a lot better and its workable, however, there's still an issue. It looks like its a side port as well, which is far from optimal.

Also re-read the replies, cuz you probably skimmed through all of it without getting the correct info.
This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Two 4 inch aeros are fine then, you are at 32hz, for now, get yourself a soundqubed hds 312 and cut the port lengths down to 15 inches long and you should be slamming and get some money back doing so.
How is this not telling you your box is totally wrong?
This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On a side note, have you even played the zv4 yet?This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Wow.your part of the many ppl who think hitting a 160 is so hard like dude.. ive seen to many ppl at shows and on youtube hit 160 with nothing to crazy, setups from 2 18s to 6 12s.. kicker 12s at that. burps only of course
