hey was wondering which pair of 12s would be louder on say 2500 to 3000 watts rms for the pair tuned for daily system my guess is the sx will have better cooling but which will be loder for spl and which is the better sub and can i get a better sub in that price range?
What's this going in? What do you listen to? What have you heard? Any of the mentioned?
AQ HDC FTW. Fi BL with the 4" coil too.
I'd do 4 DCON 12's on 1200W - no need for high-output alt, batts, better SQ & lows. That's a real daily application, sounds great and gets loud. I'd use one batt with it (cuz after powering the front stage you're nearing 1.5-2k). Real sensitive at 89.1 dB. Hopefully you have 7 - 9 NET.
its going in a 2000 intrepid and right now i have the option to do 3 re se 12s but i want to know about the sx 12s and the aq hdc 12s if 3 se 12s would be just as loud than maybe ill do that or i could always recone my se 12s to sexxxxxx with flatwound coils and more spiders
the sx has the capability to get you a about a 138 db in that car full tilt but the audioque will be louder and give you more upper bass range in your car than the sx will....i wouldnt do 3 se's because it will only be slightly louder than the single sx would be and youd suffer in the upper bass range again
really i hit 140 with 2 se 12s on an aq 1200 box tuned to 35hz so im talkin about a pair of sx12s or a pair of hdc 12s cuz i wanna be high 40s on music
i do allmy scores on music ive nver used test tones i prolly should just never have so your saying 2 hdc 12s is a good plan would 3k be enough for the pair
"the sx has the capability to get you a about a 138 db in that car full tilt".
You can't just make assumptions like that.
If you want loud music than do all of what you can do and start by upgrading the alt, batts and wiring first, then do 3 of the better 12's with the 3k amp @ .67 ohms - 3000W * 1.33 = 3990W / 3 = 1330W each). You'd use more space (better lows) and you'd hit a higher number because you could run your amp at .67 ohms or lower, right? What's the amp? If you already have the amp and don't want to switch than that's what's going to be louder. Save up for another few months, it'll be worth it.
BL 12" FS 35.2 Hz / 39.8 Hz QTS .24 (each) 89.1 dB xmax 18mm BL 16.6 / 22.7 $274 new, before options (+$55 then $50 for the 4" VC)
well i do have several amps but the only amp that i have that would power 3 hdc 12s is my autotek mm 4000 but that is such a current hog i dont like it for daily driving,, i guess ill just run 3 bosss audio chaos 12s on a road gear 300,2 now that shiit will slap check the specs lol boss audio and road gear FTW but for real i think ill get 2 hdc 3s and throw them on the pig(autotek) for now and even with my 200 amp alt and 3 batts i still drop to the low 12s with that freakin pig i gotta get rid of it get a power acoustik bamf 5500 lol that will put out 3200 perfect for my application lmfao in all seriousness prolly the aq 3500 crescendo 3k re vlx4
sean, are you pulling my chain or what? What's that even mean? Now you're copying what I'm saying for other threads? Wtf is your problem? because you can go ahead and make whatever assumption you want but it's going to mean d!ck in a real-world application. If you had read my post you'd know that I suggested what would be louder, I didn't say a specific TL number like you did. Fluckin' n00b with 16000 posts, if you *still* don't know what you're talking about than just STFU.
"i wouldnt do 3 se's because it will only be slightly louder than the single sx would be and youd suffer in the upper bass range again"
yeah so ya thinki should sell my 3 re se 12s and get some hdc 12s what makes the hdc s so uch louder than the se is it there sensitivity? motor strength or a combo of both?
