would you say:

mtx makes SPL or SQL subs?

and the audioque hdc3 is a SPL sub?

i have oredered a hdc3 but am wondering if in a box at 37hertz will it sound good and still get loud? ive done research and i know they get loud but will it sound attleast as good as a mtx 8500 or 9500? now im looking for a full blown SQ sub just want it to sound decent...

I have had experience with both, and the HDC3 sounded way better, dropped lower, along with getting louder.

The Audioque should be a better overall sub then the MTX. But it also depend's alot on the box as well. You can make even the best sub's sound horrible if you don't give them the right box. Also make sure to know everyone has a different idea of what SQ is. I know ton's of people that consider the MTX 9500 to be a great SQ oriented sub but then some people say it sound's absolutely horrible. I personally love the 9500's but for what it does the Audioque is the better option.

HDC's can sound very good in the right box and proper tuning of the entire system. I ran 15" HDC's, but recently had to swap them out for a 10" Aura and honestly the HDC's sounded better...

An MTX 9500 is going to sound better then an HDC3 hands done. The 9500 is a well built sql sub. It actually is very impressive with little power considering the size of it and it does get loud. It will not take the power an HDC3 will but it will get in the neighborhood in terms of loudness to the HDC3.
