Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 18:59 GMT Right now I'm driving an 01 Impala and decided to get back into the car audio world with something small since I'm saving up for a newer car and install 2 AQ SD 2.5's with an AQ 1200. Then I thought to myself, why not just go all out? Now I'm thinking of snagging a HO Alt an AQ 2200 and maybe 2 HD3 12's or two FI Q 12's. Now what kind of differences am I looking at here in terms of SQ and SPL? I used to own an HD3 and had no problems with the SQ but if I don't lose much SPL going with the Qs then I might just go with them.

Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 19:03 GMT I'd go with the HD3's because you don't see them much anymore. And since you liked them why not right?

Sunday, July 13, 2008 - 19:32 GMT well they're only D2 so I couldn't run the amp at 1 ohm so it would be worthless
