Switch to AQ a solution?

[Doconpoint1 10+ year member]

Well like a week or so ago i had a thread about adding another sub for added bass. This was in regards to 2 12inch CVX's i'm running off of a kicker kx1200.1

Well after getting some good responses going with 3 subs was no longer appealing, and 4 subs seemed a hastle to. So i saw some threads regarding AQ subs and from the responses they sound like really good subs, and i checked out their site and they look like very solid subs.

So i was thinking about upgrading to 2 HDC312. Just from them being of overall better quality, and the fact that they take more power, will this upgrade give a somewhat noticealbe increase in bass? I'm not asking for a ridiculous increase, but at least a minor increase. And also from reading these subs do get rather loud, and still have decent sound quality.

And just incase someone asks, i was thinking about keeping my KX1200.1, and just adding a 2nd one and running 1 per sub.

HDC's will take a 2500.1 each. You could keep your 1200.1 and get 2 SDC2.5's as that would be a nice combo. I'd really consider giving the HDC's more then 1200watts each...

Did 2 15" SDC's in a pathfinder a few weeks ago. If you're near Six Flags you can stop by for a listen.

Wow, the HDC 12's will seriously take a 2500.1 a piece? That's just insane, considering the chart on their site says 1000 rms. That's insanely underrated. I thought 1200 watts a piece would've been nice haha. I'm in Park Forest, that's in the south burbs, like 20 mintues or a lil more south of Chicago. I've got a friend that stays in the Great America area, so if i visit them anytime soon, i'll try to get in contact with you.

yeah... hdc's are wayyyyyyy underrated. sd2.5s would suit you way better

There a few people giving there hdc3 subs 3000rms to each sub. Clean signal. I have 2 15 hdc315 and i only got 1000rms to each and there loud. But soon ill be giving then 2200rms each.

Hmm.... interesting..... Now will the SDC's accomplish the same thing i was looking at the HDC's to do in the grand scheme of things if you look at my original post. If so, i'll take a look into those. Or maybe i'll just go insane and get the HDC's and look at upgrading my amps at a later date. No problem with leaving myself wiggle room right??

I think i'm gonna start saving up soon so i can make the switch sometime this year hopefully, cuz i'm a college student, so yeah.... gotta save when i can haha.

I've never heard the CVX's, so I can't compare. I know I was rather surprised by the 2 15" SDC install I did though. Hits low and hard for a budget set up....

Hit me up if you're ever up this way...

 

[Doconpoint1 10+ year member]

Alright, i'll be sure to do that if i'm up your way.

Get the big boys and get over it --- Very decisive advice, lol, sometimes a nudge in a direction is needed haha

the hdc3s will take way more power for whenever you upgrade i don't think the sdcs can take too much more than they are rated
