Oh well then you've got tons of options.

I'd still have to recommend AQ again for SPL.... the HDC3

Is the AQ hdc3 any better than DC level 4, FI BL, soundsplinter rl-p, incrminator audio lethal injection, SSA icon, Mach 5 IXL, or soundstream splx?

The HDC3 is a sweet sub that would be pretty good for what it sounds like you want. The BL sounds like it would be a pretty good choice as well. The RL-P and the Icon both can be scratched off the list for SPL. Both are solid subs, just not for SPL. I can't comment on the IA or the Mach5.

Have you factored in electrical upgrade costs I hope?

Don't get the massive amp, they are very problematic... ask kevin about that, he used to sell them and dropped them cause he had so many failures and returns.

What's the price?

$700 for AQ

Talk to kevin he may be able to get you a RD 3250.1 for less than that.




In the end just don't buy a cheap amp. The massive is cheap for a reason, they don't do rated power and are crap quality.

Touch to say. The DC is no slouch. Best person to talk to is Scott S on here since he has play time with both subs if I'm not mistaken. He's know a thing or two about getting loud as well haha.

Ya I think I'm gonna go with the audioque instead now, but I think I'm gonna go with 1 18 instead cuz it will save me about 500 bucks, so should I get the audioque AQ 1200D or AQ2200D? Cuz I know the specs on the sub are 1000/2000 so idk about the subs real power handling
