if ur strait burping go with the aq and dc if for daily beatings.

reason being is the tight gap with a 4layer coil has much lower mass and more BL better for burping over the dc with a big gap and 8 layer coil with the lower bl and more room for cooling.

the dc will handle more power daily no question..

As stated both drivers can be very capable in the right enclosure. I just built a box for 2 lvl4 xl's, 2 12's in a trunk car that does a 50+ outlaw. Last year I did a box with 2 12" HDC's in a trunk car that did a 149 legal.

I run AQ's and have built a lot of enclosures for them and have always been impressed with the output and sound. The DC's are more bottom heavy then the AQ's, so if C&S rap is your fav music you might prefer them.

I've heard nothing about spider issues with the AQ's on any of the forums...

I loved my AQ. The last box I built for it was 2.3ft^3 tuned to 32hz and it got pretty low. I mean I had dash flex off of one 12" on about 1800w.

I pm'd some dc reps and got some pricing done for the 12" xl's, and theyre way out of my price range right now. I guess ill just order the hdc3 12's. Im sure i wont go wrong with them.

If there is not a dealer in your area call Rusty direct. Sometimes he can give you a better deal. They are REALLY busy now so you might have to call alot

Yeah, I tried calling them up off the number i got from their website and no one answered. How will i be able to contact Rusty? Is his number posted off somewhere?

okay, i just got a really good price on the 12" dc lvl 4 with the coil upgrade. How do those stack up against the hdc3's?

they destroy them lol.... really tho, it has alot to do with the enclosure. but u wil be very happy with it. it wil be a more stout sub then the aq, imo

Oh I bet, an enclosure changes everything. But you really think those lvl 4's, and not the xl's which are what everyone is comparing to the hdc3's, but the lower lvl 4's with the coil upgrade really out beat the hdc3's badly?
