You'll never put out 7000 watts with that electrical fyi.

You already have plenty of equipment. I wouldn't do anything different other than build a nice box.... but what should I tune it to you might ask. Well are you going for hairtricks or numbers on the meter? You can't really have both unless you step your equipment up a lot. If you want hairtricks, tune to 30-33hz. If you want loud on the meter, tune just below your vehicle's resonant frequency. Set your subsonic right at this frequency and never play music. Since you said streetbanger, tune low. Do some hairtricks and never tell anyone you're hitting 150 because you'll probably be JUST shy of it. BUT high 140's at 35hz will make about anyone want out. It's all in the box at this point.

ic ic... so should i sell the hdc3s and get other woofers that will be maximized by that amp?...like the sd2.5s

recone to 18" alum coils, get another 3500, and build a new box. But plan on beefing up your electrical....
