audioque hdc3 18s

[high_score_1 0]

hey, i've been looking into some different subs and the audioque caught my eye.

im not gonna lie im not asking for sq or anything, its my daily driver but im not an sq guy ( dont want it to sound poopy but you know what im saying)

i would power them with 3000 ( for both ) and i want it to sound musical,

what size box would you recomend?

how small would they work in

and what tuning would you use, i've read that you should tune the hdc3's higher ( above 35 hz, if i read right )

thank you for helping out a noob

how much space do u have to work with? also, do u have the electrical system to handle 3k watts?

250amp alternator, and a powermaster d3100

and around 13 cubic ft. but thats pushing it. i dont remember the demensions exactly but it came out around 13

I wouldn't put 18's in that little space, two 15's would perform better as they would be in an optimal enclosure.

I've done 2 18's in 10.5^3 net tuned to 38Hz. alum coils subs getting 3kw+ each for daily. Sounds pretty good, hits low, and gets loud...51+ on music.

I've also done them in 6^3 net tuned from 35-38hz. Just depends on your power level and choice of music.

Tuned around 38-40Hz they will be very punchy for rock, but still hit low 30's no problem.

I would tune to 36hz with the 15's, if you want to give em 3k each dont go with copper coils, go with aluminum.
