What's the better sub stage?

I listen to rap too, but def want something nice and punchy. Sounds like the HDC3's are the way to go. My tens were punchy as hell. I'm not really worried about power. I could always upgrade later.
its probably gonna take more power to get the hdcs loud as the sa.s on same power but if you plan on upgrading power yes id go woth the hdcs if ur set on those choices

 
Three d4's can be wired to .7. Not really a problem for this amp. I highly doubt two SA's would win out against a pair of HDC3's, but you're making me think that 3 could definitely be capable.
If you have the capability to run .7/.5 ohm load, run it..Most do not have that option,beginners ect.But if you have the option, ..Why not??Amp is worthy and has been proven, but is your electrical capable without any clipping issues?If it is ..Props to you.I my

self like FI. and PSI..SSD seem decent, and the Platform 2

Platform 2 Subwoofers | PSI Car Audio

Fi SSD Series Sub Woofers | Fi SSD Subwoofer

And reasonably priced

Do you have any place I can look this up that proves this? I'm pretty sure HDC's are more efficient at all power levels with their higher fs and stronger motor.

 
you should have just added a hdc3 10 and ran 3 if u had 2 already..im just sayin the hdc.s really shine around 1500-2k each
Yeah, I wish I would've, but then I'd REALLY be short on power. I couldn't imagine running 2k to one. They did pretty well on 1k. I don't think I'd personally ever run more than 1500 to a single copper coil. I could see 2k to the aluminums though, but I don't overpower stuff like a lot of ppl on here do.

 
2k on the copper ones os still pretty safe o good electrical ive seen ppl throw alot more at them daily..im throwin 1700 to each of my dd3512.s and think they could handle more lol
Thats alot of Powa!!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif,,No clipping/bottoming out?

 
well a aq2200 isnt enough power for either setup ..hell that amp is barely enough for 2 sa12.s i think they would suit ur listening style better..but i wouldnt run 3 if u decide to go with the sa.s ...the hdc3 really need like 3500 on a pair to get moving
you don't think 1100 watts per sub is enough for 2 sa's for a daily driver?????

 
I have a 2200 on two sa's at 2 ohm for the moment... it will run 3. could they handle more , yes. but it will run them and it will be loud
I figured it would suffice, especially wired at .7 ohms. The question was not really about whether the amp was sufficient, but what subs would be louder/better for my listening habits.

 
your quote said its barely enough for 2 sa's
yea i ran 12-1500 on mine so yea 2200 is barely enough for 2 like i said

if u plan on upgrading jus go with the hdcs
