i recently put in 2 12" cvx's and i like them but i still want more so i'm saving for a new system and cant decide what i should look at

i was thinking either 2 15's or 2 18's all with about 1500 watts RMS to each sub
but i cant decide between 2 15 L7, or 2 15" or 2 18" RE SX or audioque HD3 which one of these setups would be louder and sound better its all goin in a 97 tahoe

yeah i no that steve lol but around here no one even knows what SQ is and the only brands are like RF and kicker and occasionaly a rare W7 will show up so i guess i just want it to be really loud but have decent SQ

well the hd3 18's are only gonna be about $450 a piece and the only way i think i could get the SX for 450 would be to send chad lee money and have him buy me some and ship them here lol cuz he said there is a shop by him that sells them for about that

if you have room for 2 18s then i would suggest treo ssi 18s. i know i said that my re sx was louder than my 2 ssi's but the ssi's were 12s. according to some people that own the ssi 18s, they get loud while sounding super clean.

i was just on the DD forum and i read about them doing a drop in test with 2 9500 and 2 HD3's and the results were very close (they wouldnt give exact #'S) each one was hooked up to a dd Z1 so 3000 watts a piece

so the HD3's are looking good

well i have been wondering what are the advantages and disadvantages of going with 18's or 15's will i lose much sound quality or gain much SPl is worth the extra money i really dont mind giving up my cargo space in fact i'd actually really like an excuse not to have to put stuff back there

in that case go with 18s. shouldnt lose much sq if any at all, tad bit louder, and deeper bass response

i have read on the DD forum that that is about the most you should go daily on the HD's.

they are supposed to be really nice.

i forget his name but there is a guy on the ROE forum that has a HD in a SQ install.:-)

i saw on the AQ website that the HD is rated at 2000w music...i think that is a little underrated just to be safe...so you could maybe go a little more. use your ears!

ok cool i already have one RF t1000 which is rated at 1657 at 1 ohm so i guess i'll just get another one and use the bd sync cable if i go that route would i need to Dual 4 ohm subs so i could wire them to 1 ohm cuz i'm not really familiar with that stuff

bad news fried one of my cvx's today my amp puts out 1200 watts at 2 ohms and i had the pair wired up to 1 ohm and one of the wires fell out on the other one so the 1200 watts just destroyed it
