I never owned a l7, but had a cvx then converted to fi. I must say the cvx could not compete with FI, especially when it came to SPL, well actually all around because it also had outstanding SQ, and this was the SSD. I'd give the SSD a look too.

It does not bother me, I'm saying they're rather stupid terms in general.

Well its not as stupid as using the term "nooblets" which makes just as much since as mashing acronyms like ""SQL"".

And to the original poster, I wouldn't choose between the Icon and the HDC3 for your goals. The AQ is better for your goals perhaps, but I wouldn't buy an AQ driver. There are other options than those two btw. Reason why not, and what would be some other nice options with a nice price tag too go along. Nice as in, nice in the wallet .. not a fully loaded btl.

I'm aware of that... just trying to see what each offers. From the videos I've seen its looks like the Audioque is quite efficient and goes through notes like butter, while still moving air and killing them lows. I do want it.... I really just wanna stay with the Audioque 1200d and If it could get the HDC3 moving nice with that would be great. I got a p400.4 pushing highs and mids. Might take the p400.4 out to avoid drawing more power and getting some new Memphis co-axils ( they scream even when powered with just the head unit). Until I get to the electrical upgrades. But more opinions on the Icon or the HDC3 based on my wants.

Well, on the Fisher Customs site, there is an enclosure for sale for a HDC3 15", 4.02 @ 36 hz.. Then I look at their loaded enclosures and there is the SSA ICON 15", 4.0 Cubic Feet, Tuned to 32 hz.. I'm going for something more SPL, based. I love the lows, but I also like the sub to be able to go through the higher ranges nicely too. So I'm not too sure which to go with? Any opinions and experienced users of either with some stories would be nice. Note this will be in a Honda Civic 2005 coupe, I will do what I have to do to make the box fit... but if anyone else has a Civic I'd like to now how easy it is to fit 4.0 cubes in the trunk. I will be swapping vehicles after the new year to a Magnum. I would also like to know what sub is more efficient, in other words... which one can I get moving with the least power. Ok that is all, no hate please... its Christmas. Merry Christmas SSA

No and I searched too.. guess I didn't do too good, my bad.

I am planning on purchasing an Audioque HDC3 18", and I'm knowing I'm going to need to do some electrical upgrading. I currently own a 2005 civic coupe, but plan on later moving this to a dodge magnum. After my last install I learned the hard way to not be into so much of a rush and take care of some electrical upgrades first. What supplies is needed for " THE BIG THREE" and I would prefer to start off with buying batteries before I have to go all out for the alternator, knowing of course I will also need new wiring. Which brands should I be looking into as far as wiring and other needs. I believe the HDC3 18" is pretty efficient , don't want to go overpower it too too much but would 2000 watts be reasonable on it? If anybody has any info on how well the Magnum's stock electrical is that would also be helpful. I'm not sure what exactly I was trying to accomplish with this post in this insomniac state but hopefully I get some nice replies. Peace
