gotsqtoo?

your doing a good job of making everyone not want to help you at all. people on the forum kid around and if you cant take it then stop posting. your just making it worse by arguing with everyone. if you've been into car audio for 20 years how do you have no idea that under powering a sub is perfectly fine? Asking if it was ok to underpower the sub wasn't the question douchebag!! Way to twist my words around. Some subs don't come alive until a certain power point and that is what I wanted to know. I have heard decent things about the Fi Q and was wondering what the deal was with them. To tell you the truth, I heard their customer service is horrible, and now to see their forum members are a bunch of class d rocking douchebags....I think I will go with the incriminator audio Flatlynes. I have heard none of Fi subs can even compare and the price difference is minimal.

I would bet money that not one person that has replied and downplayed my amp has even owned one....that shows alot about your opinions. This is what you guys do. Join the crowd and attack the guy with the REAL experience instead of the guys who talk shit and know nothing. It's you that will miss out. As far as efficiency, lets see some pictures of your claims of my amp being 40% efficient. Lets see your meter reading an 8002SW at being 40% efficient. Didn't think so. Just another thing you read on the internet.

So clean its magical DOESN'T matter for shit on subs, you cannot hear distortion even on a pretty cheap class D amp. No way, no how. I have also heard an LP on a front stage and will say that it wasn't any more impressive than ANY other quality amp that I have heard. You bought into the fairy dust marketing hype big time. If not why not prove Richard Clark wrong with your "magical" amp. It's people like you who shouldn't even have car audio as a hobby. If you can't hear the difference from a class a/b to a class d on subs, you shouldn't even upgrade your stock system. Ridiculous. No need to prove Richard Clark wrong. I have owned just about every amp made in the past 20 years and still have about 70 amps at the moment, all old school, and nothing sounds like Linear Power. Nothing.

My amp would drown your two amps. Thanks for the opinion!

"It's not that amazing of an amp" So hilarious!!! That's why this 15-20 year old amp still sells for 1K-1300 on ebay to this day. In good shape , mind you. I dont care what people pay for them. There are MANY, MANY amps that will outperform that one. BTW: It didnt even put out rated power back in 1991. Fails 1/3 power test Only 660 watts This guy made up this post because he has a hard on for dissing Linear Power. Everyone that was around back then remembers this test and the Linears were raved. They were just on the pricey side. Didn't you ever wonder why the guy never posting the actual scan?

So how did they come to have this nostalgia? Until you have owned just about every amp that was made over the last 20 years and been able to personally compare Linear to those amps in a real amplication, then you have nothing to say. I have heard a Linear Power 2202 power 2 12's that sounded like most other 800 watt amps. This is off of an amp that is suppose to be 220 watts. They do not distort. They are so clean it's magical.

There are some that are more powerful of course. Very few that sound as good and have as much control. This amp was way ahead of it's time. Name another amp that makes 1250 watts rms @ 8 ohm and also has a built in servo feedback circuit to monitor and correct damping in real time. You can't.

Why do you people do this? Make stupid comments to humor yourselves. Some subs will work well with say 500 watts, but they can handle quite a bit more...like 1000rms. Will the Fi Q perform well with 500-600 watts rms in a sealed enclosure. No need to tell you the power ratings of the Linear Power 8002SW. The amp is a monster and if you have never heard of it, you haven't been in car audio very long. It's a legend. Linear Power are pretty much top of the line when it comes to car amplifiers and are the most under rated of any I have used in the past 20 years.

I am looking for more SQ than anything, with some good output of course. I plan to run an old school Linear Power 8002SW to two of these possibly. Would they be underpowered? If you are not familiar with this monster of an amp then please do not respond.
