AQ is not near SQ

Check out DC Level 4's for that kinda power and SQL

What is your definition of sql? Depending on that would depend on my answer. The hdc will get very loud aid does play low when in a proper enclosur. The dc is in the same boat. The alpha will drop low and do it a bit better but you lose the higherend of the lows a bit. I would bet the enclosure will make more of a difference to you then product.

This.

Just with the DC compared to the AQ your box will be 3 cubes for both instead of 5 cubes for the AQ's, and since your Terrain is a smaller SUV you may wanna save some space.

Might want to give a little more information as to your goals and such, and not say "SQL". There are plenty of offerings in that rms power ratting. Fi BL, SSA Xcon, AA Havoc, IA DP, etc. etc.

I think is only looking at one, so he should be good on space for any option.

I was going to suggest ether DP or Xcon.

my bad, he did only say "sub".

Thanks for the replies guys. I have an alpha in my jeep right now

And really like it. Is the Aq gonna have much more output than the RD or the DC? I'm mainly looking for something that is all out loud I guess but I don't want it to sound absolutely terrible either. Ported enclosure of course

AQ will probably be louder if in the right box. What kinda power is it on though?

All out loud..AQ will normally win that. Not to mention you can dump a good amount of power to it daily. As long as you have a well built/designed enclosure, you will be just fine with the sound it will produce.

The Alpha is supposedly one of the best SQL woofers out there, depending on who you ask. Can also handle 2k without issues. I'd keep it if I were you.

Yea i have owned a bunch of subs and I have to say my 12 alpha is louder than most of the 15s I have had including the ti.
