It will get very loud on 800 watts. In my personal demo vehicle (2004 chev excab) I run two HD310's on DDS1 amps with 600 watts each and it is a very loud setup. J Ledgerwood does a 148.1 legal in dbdrag off of 400 watts on two HD312's. This can be verified by looking it up on dbdrag's competitor stats. Better yet go to www.soundpressure.com forum and ask the guys over there. Chris Dekker took first place in his class at Meca World Finals last year with a 150.1 (It was AS1 or AS2) with two HD312's on 1000 watts. Excursion and/or Xmax really are not a big factor when it comes to how loud a system will get. For example if you tune a box to 45 Hz and play a 20 HZ note you will get huge excursion but little spl. Tune the box to 50 Hz and play a 60 Hz note you will find the sub barely moves but has great spl. You can take a dirt cheap sub with a very week suspension and make it bottom out on 200 watts but it will not sound good or get loud. The HD3 series are unique in that they are very efficient and will get as loud or louder on the same power as practically any other sub made. They will however continue to get louder with more power and stay together when most of the others have destroyed themselves. Put 1000 watts on a HD3 and 1000 watts on any other sub and the HD3 will probably be louder nine times out of ten assuming both subs are in the ideal box. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 361 Registered: Feb-06 | Well I don't know of any drivers that are exactly the same as the HD3 for the price. I just know of some that are better for around $75-$150 more. But it is deff. a solid SPL sub for the price. If I looked into it, I am sure I could find something very similiar for around the same price though if not better. But like I said, overall for the price I think it is a good purchase. |
