[QUOTE="nauc, post: 2255453, member: 560039"] budget? for $260 you could get a 12" Q what Scott had to say about the Q vs the HC "The HC was a great sub. It dropped deep and played clean, but was lacking on Xmax, especially compared to the Q. The Q qould get a little louder overall than the HC and sound as good or better doing it. The only thing the HC would have on the Q is playing deep with lower power... but once Xmax on the HC is reached, the Q will keep on pushing things for quite a ways more. Yes, they are both rated the same thermally, but the HC does have less Xmax and will go non-linear faster in the same box than the Q will. It wont blow up or have issues with that, simply that distortion will start to set in earlier. While we rate the Q at 1000W RMS, it can handle a little more power for musical peaks (but not 2000W ;)" [URL="http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7407"]http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=7407[/URL] [URL="http://www.ficaraudio.com"]http://www.ficaraudio.com[/URL] [/QUOTE]
