    DJ suggests NOT to be using box building software for their subs.

    Software is highly inaccurate for their product line.

    It shows that for the original HD3s that you needed a 9 cuft ported box for just 1 15, that was way wrong.

    I don't think he's using software. Its being designed by somone on a different forum. He just said it would help if he had the parameters.

    I am getting ready to do a blowthrough in my truck. The subs I am planning on using are 4 Audioque hdc3 18's. The dimensions are 50x17.5x77 inches. I will be running them off of two IA 40.1's strapped. I have built several boxes but never a blowthrough. I have heard that bandpass is the best way to go when doing a blowthrough...is this true? Anyway is there anyone who can design me an enclosure for this setup? I will pay of course just let me know.

    If installed correctly, three should be louder. If you are going to compete at all, it would be worth it. If it was mine, and the only decision was two or three subs, I would go for three. . .

    If you have the electrical system (sounds like you do), I would do two 18's and use the money saved on the third sub for more power. A pair of BTL's will handle a pair of 40.1's if you know what you are doing. . .Or pick up a pair of Sundown 3000D's.

    So which would you do? 2 or 3 BTL'S?

    Personally I think running at .5ohm daily is way too low and dangerous... why not gettin somethin like a sundown saz3000d on each one and put them @ 1ohm? And why 3? theres really not that much of a noticeable difference from 2... Have you ever heard the 3db rule? To gain an extra 3db you either double your power or double the cone area.... which in your case you would notice a difference if you ran 4 instead of 3... 3 will be a waste of space.. if you want more than 2 and you can fit it do 4

    If the amp is stable at 0.5 ohm then why would it be dangerous? And also 3 BTL couldn't be over powered by that amp but two could so the third one is ind of a better safe than sorry kinda deal.

    Sorry about the multiple post Im experiencing some technical difficulty with my internet. Anyway what I would really like to do is 3 BTL 18's powered by the ia 40.1 on 17 volts charging running at 0.5 ohms. What do you guys think?

    if you're gonna get a btl...you're going to want it fully loaded. putting 3k watts on them would be easy enough i'd say. anything more and you're gonna want to make sure the box is perfect and everything else. it can be done...it just gets more dangerous after that.

    i have 4 15's fully loaded for sale too btw ;)

    Well in that case, I am looking at 2 BTL 18's fully loaded, or 2 IA Death Penalty 21's
