4 1508's or 2 AQ 10's

[poundindak69 15]

i am just trying to get a idea which ones i want to choose. which ever one i choose will be in 4 cubes tuned around 30-35 with a AQ 3500d running them. which one would have more potenial to get low? thank you for you input

4 cubes is too big a box for two AQ10's. The 10's like 1.2-1.5 net ported each. They do very well tuned around 36 for best LSQ and 38-40 for SPL.

i cant believe you are comparing AB to AQ.

You should be banned, lol

Honestly, the 4 ABs would work well with that power but u will kick yourself in the ass later in life if you only knew how crazy loud AQs can get.

The power ratings that AB gives their speakers are PEAK amplifier rated power, trust me.

I've done some thermal tests on their eternal series before, couldnt even take 334w of actual power for a straight minute without thermal failure. They're rated for 900wrms.... yea right.

IF you damage those subs... you gotta buy new ones. If you buy AQs, you get to keep em forever and get em reconed when damaged... not just a replacement but can be reconed to different sizes.

i bought 2 AQ HD3 15s few yrs ago, i still got em.

They still work, they never had a problem, i've never had a problem, they're crazy loud and now i have 2 of their 12s.

I will probably never get rid of these either unless someone buys them off of me for more than they are sold for, hehe.

well you should be banned for not knowin that i meant DD 1508's not AB's. and you act like i am a newb, well i am not. it just that im not very active on this site. i have already owned one AQ 10 and it pounded.

well i have one right now in about 1.8 at 35hz. so i dont think 4 will be to big.

[shizzzon 461]

well, i had a reason for assuming so.

Low post count goes toward newbies...

Well anyways, back onto the topic-

4 of those 8s would work very well in 4 cubes.

I see where you are going with it, nice idea but i'd been there too.

I was thinkin about doin 6-8 8s before i went with 2 AQ 12s.

In your situation, i think 4 8s may have around the same surface area as 2 10s... somewhere close.

Although, the 2 10s have a LOT more excursion capabilities than the 8s will.

Plus, i'm sure the AQs are cheaper than all 4 8s too, right?

yeah the 2 10's would cost that same as only 2 8's about. but i always like confusing people with my systems. yeah the aq's do have a ton a excursion. the one AQ i got now will get just as low as my buddies 2 18 FI sdd's, just not as much moving around.

also right now as a temp setup i got 2 alpine 6x9's in a 1 cube box @ 40hz. it sounds like 1 or 2 10's on little power, but it gets the job done till i get my new setup.

If you think you will get "lows" with a 35hz tuning, your definition of lows is whacked.

no it not.. i will have to take a video tomorrow and show you.

First off, that isn't a sentence. Second a video can't show you anything. And third and most importantly you don't know jack about low if you truly think that you are going to get lows with a 35hz tuning.

thats true ,port to 30-32 hz it gets low . its evil i had 1 15 on 4 cf at 32-33 ad it got so low

[poundindak69 15]

how do you know that i dont know jack about lows. i've had 1 18 tuned to 32. it got fudgein low as hell. i am just sayin' that for a 10 this thing get low and most likely i will be tunin' around 30.

Simple, the answer lies in the natural roll off of a ported box and since you are so experienced I am sure you know what that is.

Side note, if you are considering 10's, I would highly suggest you jump on the killer deal Sundown is running on the SD-1 v2's. $460 = 4 very good American made drivers. Heck, I found out that even the coils were wound here in the USA.

[poundindak69 15]

well if i go 10's i only need 2 of them.

I still suggest you take a peak at them.

[poundindak69 15]

i just went and looked at them. idk if they would be able to able the power i want to run.

Because I did not see a mention of going after tenths on a db mic, do you really need to run all that power if you are just looking for a pair of subs that can "hit the lows" well?

I would go with the 8's, but i have 4 dd 1508's. Im actually looking to sell them now.
