After measuring my trunk I couldn't get close to 2.4 cuft without taking up most of the trunk for the BL12. So I went ahead and ordered a BL10 with cooling options (couldn't pass up the free options/shipping for Black Friday). Thanks everyone for guiding me in the right direction for my situation.

x2, I love how my sealed enclosure sounds but I miss the output of my ported enclosure. Its gonna come down to personal preference really. Thank you swift and jay-cee. I've only ever had sealed enclosures and weather i'm running 1000 watts or 1500 watts its always left something to be desired. I think I'm going to go with the BL in a ported box. Thanks Notorious, I'm going to look into fitting the 12" BL in a slightly smaller box or end up with the 10" BL.

Right, from what i've read the Q will get deeper but the BL will get louder. Maybe I should have asked if a 12" BL would get a lot louder than the 10" BL given the same amount of power? both in ported boxes based onFi specs. Originally I was set on the 12" Q in a sealed box but I dont want to be dissappointed in the loudness of it being focused on "SQL" vs spl. I'm not opposed to getting a new amp but I currently have a 1250wrms x 2 ohm Kicker amp that I was planning on using.

Maybe not better, which one will get louder/deeper? 12" Q sealed or 10" BL ported

I need some help deciding which sub would be my best choice based on my situation. I was originally set on buying 1 12" Fi Q and putting it in a sealed box but the more I read the more I see people choosing the Fi BL and using a ported box as it seems to get louder. I've talked myself into the BL over the Q but after looking at the cut sheets in the technical section I dont think I can comfortably fit the 12" BL ported box in my trunk without giving up a lot of it (Lexus is250), but I could fit the 10" BL ported box comfortably. So which would be a better choice? A 12" Fi Q or a 10" Fi BL? Also I'm not sure if I can post ebay links but wanted to get opinions on this ported box if it matched the 1.2 cubic feet @ 32Hz of the 10" BL cut sheet. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-IS250-Ported-Vented-Sub-Enclosure-Subwoofer-Box-Tuned-32hz-/261028027775?pt=Car_Audio_Video&hash=item3cc67b9d7f&vxp=mtr#ht_2071wt_1219
