I guess im not the nest person to answer this considering i havent dealt with either, i just think you should do some research and decide if your looking more towards an SQ setup, or your more interested in SPL
0 -
Depends on what your looking for.. Are you leaning more towards SQ subs or SPL subs?

Hm... Thats a bit of a difference there.. What are you looking to accomplish with your setup?

Well, as soon i get some money from selling all of my old gear, ill be doing Big 3, and getting a second battery. Ill make sure my electrical system is good and sound once i install everything.

I listen to rock, metal, techno some rap. Basically everything, thats why i wanted the Q.. because its a very accurate subwoofer, and i asked him why he recommended the BL, and he said the BL can take more abuse, he didnt want me to blow my first real subs, but i think i have enough knowledge that i wont blow them. I appreciate his opinion but im sticking with the Q's.

Alright, thanks for that opinion, Keep more coming. I want my first real build to be as best as possible.

Alright, iv basically all over the map trying to consider what type of subs i wanted. Iv made up my mind now and i kind of wanted to know your opinion. I was thinking about going with two Fi 12"Q's, OR two Fi 15" Q's in a ported box, running off a Crescendo BC2000D. Now in order to eliminate trunk rattle, i was told sealing it off from the trunk and firing it forward was a good idea. The only problem is that i cant fold my rear seats down, now i do have the option of buying rear folding seats for about $300.
I guess i dont really have a specific question.. just tell me what you think, any improvements or different ideas you think would work best. Since im fairly new im sure your ideas are better than mine. ^^
thanks

Hey guys, feeling kinda bored this week, not a lot going on and i decided i want to hear a demo of Fi BTL N2's before i end up buying them and i would love to listen to all different sizes. I'm located in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. So basically anyone from Ontario in the Niagara region ill drive down for a demo.
Hopefully theres at least one person! Iv never heard BTL's and im absolutely stoked

Exactly what I was thinking just put it in the trunk.

Hello, iv just been looking around for a battery and oddly enough i found a marine AMG battery in my dads garage. Its a Cabela's Advanced Angler "Group Size 30" battery. Heres a link showing all of its specs.
Now seeing the amp rating and cold cranking amps i see no reason why this wouldnt work as a second battery seeing as im running only about 1800 watts.
What do you guys think?

Oh... i see >.< I didnt know that input sensitivity and gain are the same thing :S.... Feel retarded now. Anyways, thanks

Iv recently blown my Alpine 1000.1 amplifier so i decided to replace it with an older PG Xenon 1200.1 i had lying around. I was looking at the control knobs and noticed it only has a Bass boost option, but no gain setting. Iv looked it up and its a bass boost knob for 45hz, 0-18db. I was just curious how i would go along setting this boost without a gain setting as well. Also, how should i set my deck settings along with this?
I'm running 2 Alpine Type X 10" subwoofers in a ported box if that helps.
Thanks

I'm getting so many mixed answers here. Lol

Alright. Well, should I get my alternator first. Or should I get my battery?
0 -
Ok so you suggest the battery before the high output alternator.. Thanks

Iv got a 2003 Chevy Impala (3.4L), im pretty sure the alternator size is a 105 amp (Sorry for the double post i just saw that you missed it and i wanted to make sure you got the info)

Alright, well i just know right now im running only about 1600 watts and my lights dim like crazy, iv actually had my car's battery light flash at me a few times when im really pumping my alpines, so this time i just want to do it right

Now that iv figured out an AudioQue 2200D would be a great choice for my Fi BTL N2, along with my Phoenix Gold 500.4 for my component speakers, i was just wondering what kind of electrical upgrades i would need to support this. (~2700watts). Iv read up on what is needed and im seeing a few mixed results.
This is what im thinking:
Big 3
240 Amp Alternator
Kinetik 2400
Now the kinetik would be replacing my stock battery instead of running my stock and the kinetik. If anyone thinks thats not enough, or i should keep my stock battery or any other ideas it would be a great help.

Alright. Well I'll take a look at buying an audioque then

if you had this budget....

Unless your looking to keep your 18 in a sealed box, id say go with the 2 12's.. that would be cutting it a bit low for an 18" woofer with only 5.5 cubes
