Will Nightshades outperform my HDC3's???

i personally think they will out perform with that kind of power in that enclosure. get a semi hard suspension but not too hard so that the sub can still handle the power but still move at max.

 
yes the regular nightshade will be a better sub and they like small boxes 2.7 to 3.2 for a 15 so 6 cubes will be fine for them the v.2 are even better

 
as it sits with 2 nightshade 18s on about 2500 to 3000 rms im doing 151 on music at 38 htz with a box with not enof port area and to low of tuning as soon as i get some free time im taking out the aero ports at 57 inches of port and moving to a slot port with 100 inches of port tuned to 35 insteads of 28.5htz

 
My aq 15 copper coil liked a bigger than a smaller first i had a3.8 cubic foot tuned box tuned 37hz then i switched over to a 5 cubic foot box tuned to 35hz and the bigger box was wayyyy louder!

 
Good question, too many variables, but I def know that the Nightshades would love 3 cubic feet each net.

I think your HDC3s would benfit from a larger enclosure, however since thats out of the question, I think the choice is clear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
i have ran both subs with 4 15s american bass hds in 9.5 cubes with 57 inches of port i was able to do a 153.2 at 39 on 2 saz3000d at .5 but i like the nightshade better more durable and will take power better both are good subs though for spl in my aurora with 6 cubes tuned to 35 i burped a 149.6 at 41 with 2 american bass hds on one saz3000 at .5 with a 2400 kinetic cheap wet cell and stock alt

 
Very nice, its really good to see positive and helpful feedback on my quest to acheive higher decibality. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

 
the reason i switch is the hds are loud but i like street beating alot and they kept tearing spiders but i have seen vernon from team neo with 4 15 hds do a 155.2 at 45hrz with 2 american bass 500.1 at .25 but they were getting tore up pretty bad after a bassrace run the whole trunk stunk like hot coils so considering i want 155s to 157s i need a more durable sub also with 4 15s in a walled lincoln ls with 4 saz1500 per sub i have seen a 161.53 but it only would do 3 to 5 burps before recone

Little off topic there buddy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

 
if you have the room on the front do 2 6" aero ports. from the looks of it your port is tiny as shit as well as your box as a whole //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif why not build a new box with 2 6 " aeros and try 4 hdc3-a 10's?

 
I'm running a different box than I have in my vid. I no longer have a center port. I now have a common chamber driver side port that is A LOT bigger lol. 6" wide 15" tall. Depth I am unsure of, 18 inches maybe?
