  1. This thread is getting me nowhere, I asked some opinions on two subs and get everyone telling me my likes and dislikes are wrong. My Q 12 were in 1.25 each in a box Built by Brian Owens, I am not sure where the error could be there. Each getting 750 watts from SD 1500. The RLP 12 TS parameters favor a ported box, but the 15 was better suited to sealed or the argumanent was 3 years ago when I owned it. Output is not the issue. I have 2 AA chaos 10's in a BJ Fisher box right now and its too peaky and boomy, too much output for me. Thats why I was looking at a single 10 sub that was more suited to SQ and just tune a little lower and have less port area. Plus I dont want to spend 500+ on two SQ subs and do sealed. The car is setup for speed, thats why I keep going to smaller subs.


  2. Can I ask, what is was about the sealed set up's that you did not like?

    Its just the sound that I dont like. I love them for rock and metal that I listen too, but not for Reggae. They just seemed choked off to me. I know ported boxes can be peaky, but I have owned and heard a few that werent too bad. I dont want a completely flat response. Maybe what I want doesnt even exist.

    Possibly I just never had the right sub for sealed. I hated the Q sealed, it seemed to bottom out and really lacked something, but I liked my RLP 15 sealed. I have about 1000 watts to play with in the trunk of a grand prix.


  3. I am just not a fan of sealed. I have had a pair of Fi Q's 12's sealed, SI Mag 15 sealed, RLP 15 sealed which I did like. I just dont like the lack of oomph in the above 60 hz ranges. I liked my single Q 12 ported better than most setups, which is why I was leaning towards Q 10. I like to try different stuff, and have read a lot of good things on SSA Icons, and was hoping to run into people on here with experience with both.


  4. Updated pics. Amp rack behind the seat is done. Installed the box to test fit, but need to mount Rockford Symmetry and put new trunk carpet in.

    Sounds great! I need to set gains and will post vid, these things are so tight. 600 mile road trip didnt even start to break them in.
