Either Sub will be firing to the trunk lid in a ported box built to reccomended specs. Amp AQ3500 (3500 rms) Not for competition for music. Question is what would be the best musical wise in comparison of the specs given. 36hz will be port tuning.

Ahhhhh thank you my good homie g slice, please nebody elssssse??? Could we get any other answers please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Just wanna make sure i am leaning towards a good choice, this stuff does cost money as we all know.

 
thats gonna be too much power for either of those subs. With that much power on tap daily I would look into a warden , if not your gonna be doin recones every week.

Very true bro sorry was thinking of my plan that i had before i edited its going to be 3500 rms now, prob a little less seeing as it will only be a 12 volt system. Not to get off subject though, back to the comparison of the two subs. and thank you again.

 
xxx is over priced and the aq kinda sounds like doo doo. If your wanting to run that kind of power why not step up the the aluminum coil version or run 2 copper coil aqs?

 
The AQ's will sound decent at best, the XXXs will sound great. Had two XXX in 2.5cuft each tuned to 32 and it was one of the best sounding sub stages I've heard.

But, like others have said, too much powah..

The AQ's your talking about are the exact same subs im asking about, the Aluminum coil subs...Less i got u mixed up. To clarify Audioque HDC3 Aluminum Coil Subs Rated 1000rms 2000 peak

So my question to that is how is it too much power if they xxx are rated at a 2000 watt rms??
