Thank, man. It's always nice to hear some positive feedback and reassurance from you AQ owners.
I finally decided I'm going to go forth; seal off my trunk and fire 2 12s" ported into the cabin. I was going to get some DD 3512s, but after further research just about everyone says that the HDC3s trump the 3500 series. Much better for the price comparison as well.
As far as the coppers, I'll be running my Stetsom 4k2d to 'em so I should be OK, yeah? I then took into consideration getting the aluminum coils, but once again after further research, I guess you really don't need the aluminiums until you get to over 3.5K each...
