does anybody know whats the diff between the hd3 and hdc3? i am planning on buying a pair of 12"s. my buddie just ordered a 18" fi btl and is saying a single 18" btl would walk all over a pair of hdc3 12"s. the btl is going into a newer blazer and the hdc3 12"s will be in a 96 olds cutlass.

do you all think the hdc3 12"s will stand any chance against the 18 btl? i have money on this. lol. if i have to ill go ahead and get the 15's but i was kinda wanting 12"s instead.

The HD3 are American made and have a slightly different motor (flat bottom and top plate). The newer HDC3's are supposedly assembled in China using AQ's parts to save on labor.

A pair of HDC3's with hang with if not outperform a single 18 BTL. You will have the definite advantage using the blazer (lots of cabin gain) vs. a trunk car. i would go with 5 cubes and tune it to the rec of 40hz.

What are you planning to power them with?
