More output as far as what?? Numbers?? Don't see many people runnin AQ's, and, OR winning comps with em... like ever

U R AN R-TARD!

If you are on a tight budget, you should check out the AQ SD2.5c. It's about a 100 bux cheaper than an HD3c, and sounds a little better. On small power, it's just as loud as an HD3c.

Listen to the man^^^ He knows what he's talking about. I would do the AQ's anyday, can't beat their customer service!

The AQ will yield more output when you feed it more power. The more power you feed them the louder they get. Type R's are good subs but the HDC3 is capable of more output. As Jeremiah said you sound as though you would be better suited for SDC2.5 rather than HDC3.

researching the 2.5's now...

Okay, first off sorry for all the questions. Didn't realize there were this many alternatives.

I looked in to the sdc2.5's, but they appear to only be available in dual 4 ohms setups. Is this correct? Then I would have the aq1200 wired to 2 ohms, which would run my sdc2.5 at about 600 watts. This doesn't seem very efficient to me, but what do I know. This would be louder than a type R off of 1000 watts at 1 ohm?

I would take type-r's over the sdc2.5's, but that's just my opinion.

But going back to the HDC3 vs. the type-r, I wouldn't give a type-r more than 800-900 for daily. At that power level I believe the type-r would have the SPL edge. Past that though is when the HDC3 would really shine.

Thanks tommyk

Do you have an amp recommendation as well? Would the txa1000 be okay with the gains set correctly?

One edge that the AQ has is that it is reconeable and the R isn't.
