SSD v. HDC3...?

YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 160 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 19:55 GMT Brother was looking into these subs, around the same pricerange. Looking @ 12"s the SSD's are $190/ea. (800 watts rms) the HDC3's are $230/ea. (1000 watts rms) Which would be the better choice??? Looking for SQL(has a Hifonics BXi2006D to power them)

How big of a box(or small) would the HDC3's or SX's subs be good in?
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 163 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 20:18 GMT SX's are a possibility, would they do well in a somewhat small enclosure?

YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 164 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 20:23 GMT specs, price?
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 165 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 20:28 GMT ^^^specs and price on those treo's?
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 7708 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 20:36 GMT from what im seeing on realm of excursion it seems like two re sx 12's wouldnt have the ideal airspace at 3.5 cubes
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 166 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 21:01 GMT would those treos work? also, where could i find those($$$)?

YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 167 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 21:49 GMT sweet thanks. How did the treo's sound? They compare to say an sx?

YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 169 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 22:10 GMT but in a small enclosure, would tsx's perform better than an sx?
nickyp0219 Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219 Post Number: 434 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 22:20 GMT i dont know how a tsx would sound in a small enclosure, but when i first got my sx, i had it in a relatively small ported enclosure and it sounded boomy to say the least, wasnt really hitting the lows that well. plenty loud, but now that i have it in a bit bigger of a box, it sounds a lot better. the first box i had was about 1.5ft^3, give or take
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 7710 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 22:23 GMT what airspace did you end up putting it in?
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 170 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 22:24 GMT hmm...and ^^^ chauncey, treo tsx = re se...think se would be a better choice? for a small enclosure, ~2000 watts(1600 or watev actual)?

Reece Brassler Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22s The kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3799 Registered: Feb-06	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 00:39 GMT sx will be underpowered with that amp... ssd would get plenty loud and sound nice however i would look into mmats p3.0
sean Gold Member Username: Insearchofbass Post Number: 7715 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 01:06 GMT or for 620 bucks shipped you could do a single jl 13w7...but thats a good bit more money wise and less cone area but its a nice sub too and will fit in your space if you build a new box....just though id throw that out there
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 171 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 02:34 GMT well, thanks for all the input. Sounds like either the re se or ssd then. i think the 13w7 might be a bit much $$$, plus he says he doesn't want to build another box.
nickyp0219 Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219 Post Number: 435 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 02:39 GMT personally id take the ssd, i plan on doing that this summer...ive got the sx running on 1000 watts but it seems its beggin for more rather have a sub thats being powered properly..ssd w/ flatwind coil lol i know, that was ur sub yanks, im just sayin\ my .02 bud
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 172 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 02:43 GMT if he did get an ssd, what do all the options do for it's performance? flatwind coil, copper coil, and bp power(i assume that one allows it to take more power)???
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 173 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 02:54 GMT just curious, how do these(re se's and fi ssd's) stack up against type r's??? ...lol, cuz thats what i'm probly getting...unless i somehow get some more $$$.
nickyp0219 Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219 Post Number: 436 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 04:03 GMT well i cant help you out about how the se's and ssds compare to type r's but the flatwind coil increases power handling by about 200rms so it will perform like 1000rms or so, i believe the copper coil is aimed more towards sq applications and bp power adds like 500rms ...not sure if all that is correct by im pretty sure of it
YT Silver Member Username: Spankinurwoofers GR, MI US Post Number: 174 Registered: Nov-07	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 04:08 GMT so pretty much the options are either for more power handling or sq. Thanks
nickyp0219 Silver Member Username: Nickyp0219 Post Number: 437 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 04:10 GMT yes that would be my main point lol
Yanks Fan Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13 15 MAG USA Post Number: 8162 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2008 - 04:12 GMT SSD > Type R
