Does anybody have any experience with this driver? Does it sound decent? They are inexpensive and are supposed to be fairly nice drivers i was looking at pickin up two 10" and tossin each 1100w

How would they stack up to two fi BL 10"?

I think they have just been released so not many folks have them. I'd say wait awhile before you start hearing reviews.

There was a great deal of hype before it came out, so we will see how it turns out.

I ordered one 10" last night. I will let everyone know how it performs.

I'd love to hear what you think i keep hearing people say they sound hollow which kinda bugs me im trying to decide between two 10" q's or bl's or a mach 5 spl12 these just happen to be in my price range

I got some pics of it today. I plan to build a box to test with this weekend.

The other sub in the pics is a 15" FI Q

I just bought 2 HDC3 15 and i putting them in a extended cab ford f-150 on a sundown SAZ-3000d so i will let you know what they do. i know right now with one HDC3 15 on 800 watts its hitting a 144.4 at 30 Htz. so i dont think their to bad at all. im quite impressed.

Are these subs musical or are they only for burping? What other sub could you compare them to in SQ?

[Brent00F150 0]

they are somewhat musical not im not sayin they are a fi Q or anything but i would compare them to a Fi BL

I think if you're concerned about SQ at all these aren't the woofers for you.

Quick, where's M5 to back you up?

I think he just meant does it sound like complete ass or at least reasonable.

[Brent00F150 0]

they are reasonable. i mean a spl sub never sounds great. but compared to the fi Bl i think the HDC3 sounds better.

[JimJ 11]

What's reasonable, though

Most of the reviews I've seen from them are along the lines of "it gets loud yo".

Well, I guess it doesn't have a magnesium/banana/silver cone so its flawed from the start. That and it doesn't fall in the xmax sweet spot for SQ (either 1mm or 30+mm).

check ca.com. There's been a couple threads reviewing the hd3c's.

ROFLMAO !

I almost hit the back button when I read the xmax sweet spot...

Nothing wrong with paper cones.

Some of the best sounding systems I've heard have been with Altec woofers, and those things are about as unassuming as you can get.

I know you're joking, but I don't see what point you're trying to make...

i might go with 4 of the 18's when they come out...should be any day now...they said late january so we'll see, i will do a review when the systems done but it wont be for a while.

When i get My setup finished up i will post and let everyone know what the two HDC3 15's do in my extended cab f-150. it likes 30 htz so i think that is going to be my sweet spot. im throwing a sundown SAZ 3000d on the two. i hope its going to put up mid to high 140's at the headrest.
