Mojos are smoked! (pic), will i be happy with HDC3's??

[shakinghorizons]

Well for about 2 weeks now i have been wondering why my stuff don't seem punchy for some odd reason. I could still do 147 of a 12v mic yesterday which proved itself to be about 1 db off from the TL. I decided to take my dmm to my dual 2 ohm mojos. On one mojo i have a snapped tinsel lead, and doesn't look like its fixable, and one good coil. On the other i have a blown coil and one good one. I believe it has been some time now that i have only been running SVC //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif Could be months but i am not sure at all. I think i would of noticed if it happend all at the same time or near. I have a feeling one lead tore when i first hooked up my IA40.1 Coils are burnt black, and looks like some bad rubbing on the inside of the coil LMAO:

I have been looking at the AQ HDC3 15's and for the price i don't see where i can go wrong. My box has seprate chambers and has 3 cubes each not including port area, subs WILL be inverted to conserve box space, box is tuned to 32 hz. I will be running a IA40.1 at .5 ohm running ~2krms to each.

I am looking for spl, would the AQ HDC3 15's be a wise purchase?

PM DJL, he should know.

I know another guy (mlstrass) that has built boxes for AQs all the way up to 18s who could help you with that question too. I was thinking 32 is too low for those, but either of them would know better

That looks like some pretty bad thermal damage....Did you set your gains?Them mojo's are pretty tough.

HDC's are awesome subs especially for the money,

Get the Nighthshades if your wanting to go one step better!

Dont tune your box to 32 with HDCs especially if its in an SUV. I did it and regretted it. They get very peaky and just dont sound good tuned that low. They recommend the high tuning for a reason I'm thinkin....

Gains are set correctly. Gain at half, bass boost at zero, and bass knob at 2/3s. Cant go wrong there. Imo.

I did one tuned to 40hz and it killed!No mechanical noises or anything.

That doesn't mean the gains were set.Did you use a dmm is what I ment.Gains a half way can still mean your over powering especially if you have a deck with high preout voltage.Maybe throw a DMM on there and see what kinda numbers your producing.You may be suprised.

Just a thought though.
