The thing is, most of those subs mentioned couldn't handle 2 Sundowns strapped at 1 Ohm very well daily, correct? One Sundown at .5 would be plenty for a pair of Avas, IDMax's, or Mags.

He pretty much summed it up. I'm looking for subs a step up from these that can destroy the lows and still be loud, something in the catagory of stage 2s, hd3s, dd9512s, ect. And handle the power, the BLs simply couldn not hande the current flow at .5 ohms.

If you get something like the HD3's, you'll want to consider a new box. I know they like to be tuned higher, like right around 40 Hz. They still hit lows insane at that tuning, from what I've seen and won't have any problems with that kinda power.

I hate that for you with your subs 727, Im kind of curious about the HD3s myself. I like the low end as well.

The Hd3s are a great choice and they get stupid low tuned at 40hz, for sure worth a try.

How sick do they get at say 27hz song? I can adjust my box and raise the tuning to about 37hz I believe.

How about stepping up to a pair of 15's?

some 3hp or 4hp subs would be good. My ground zero had the 3hp and with an xx herc on it it slammed real good on the lows.

I have never tried my HD3s that low, but the AQ 2.5 15 got dumb low tuned at 34hz 3.5 cubes with 1000rms...and a pair of hd3-15s would just be idiotic low and I happen to have a pair of aq hd3-15s for sale and they happen to be brand new.

How does an Fb of 40 Hz translate into a "sickning low-end"?

Adrian, get at me on AIM. There a sale for some 3HP's on another forum that would murder the lows...

it's the subs' suspension being able to keep it under control. if you'll look ALL of DD box specs tune to 40hz, yet they do the 'low notes' very nicely.

Why would anyone tune a subwoofer box in a car to 20hz? Can you say way too over exagerrated low end with crappy upper bass response?

28-30hz is as low as you should ever realistically need to tune for SQ (SQL) in an automobile playing music. Dont forget about transfer function guys, it already exagerrates sub 40hz material (in most situations).

You aren't gonna get 'sickening low end' or even very good low end with a 40hz tuning, I dont care what brand name is on the dust cap.
