What should I do

[david in germany 2]

Hello all! New to the forum and Really interesed in FI. Presently I am running a Pair of ED 12o.14's IB on a Nine.1 in my Celica but will be changing the amp to a Fosgate Power 1000 and would like to figure out what the optimum setup would be.

I was thinking about either 1 Dual 2 Q 12" or a pair of Q 10"s . (the Power 1000 runs optimum at 1 ohm)so I am pretty sure the ED's will be comming out. What are your opinions on this? I am going with NDMstang65's reccomendation on the Q series but which set up?

It will be IB reguardless.

From my understanding, for IB, cone amount is paramount. So maybe 10's are the choice.

Would I be underpowering them with under 1k watts fort the pair?

[BKOLFO4 29]

I would not think so in an IB setup.

With all that said how would the 2 10' Qs compare to the 2 12o's?

Make sure to let Scott know to build them for IB Definitely the pair wins.

I love the idea!!

Which pair? the 10's or the 12's?

[NDMstang65 403]

Generally speaking in IB cone area is king...

Honestly man you may be able to put a pair of Q 12's in the baffle you have now...1kw is MORE then ample to get them to full stroke for the pair

Are these the '03 O series?

Nope, the new o's are 13's. These are the Flatcone 12o's

Looks like I need to pospone my purchase of 2 wonderful Q 12's due to an unexpected trip to the emergency room last monday.. It sucks getting older...

Is everything ok?

Is everything ok?

I seem to be doing ok, I apparently had a TIA (mini Stroke kinda thing) Has been a really scarry time for me.. I am only 36.. I have another appointment in Jan with the University of Heidelberg Medical facility (head Clinic) to see if they can find anything the American Dr's couldn't.

Here is a message I sent to someone about it.

"Transient Ischemic Attack"

(Basically a mini stroke) It happened on Monday but I was too stubborn to go to the ER till the following day. CT, blood pressure taken about 40x times and they wanted to do a spinal tap... That is when I said no way Jose'! The tests all came back saying it passed by.. I got lucky, but still, apparently I will have a 1/3 higher chance of having a stroke in the future.

Signs were

1. I could no longer read (comprehend simple words like "the")

2. My eyesight started to blur on the right side

3. crazy headache

4. The right side of my face started to go numb

5. had problems talking (simple conversation)

6. My right hand started going numb

Truly one of the scariest moments of my life!

If any of you have any of these signs get to the ER ASAP!
