nick_19 1 Posted October 5, 2008 I'd recommend having at least 1500 watts to run two Fi Q's... 2000 preferably. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimJ 11 Posted October 5, 2008 I'd recommend having at least 1500 watts to run two Fi Q's... 2000 preferably.IMO, they can work fine with less power than that 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimJ 11 Posted October 5, 2008 i have a 1500zx in my room but im looking to get the jl audio 1000 1 to power 2 FI QIf you already have that amp, I'd go ahead and use it.Fer how much your spending on that you shud just buy a Rockford Fosgate or a Sundown amp..The JL does have some benefits over RF or Sundown, but I'm not sure it's really going to matter for what he's doing 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiley 0 Posted October 5, 2008 will the 1500zx power 2 12" FI Q with some loudness? cause the kicker amp isnt stable at 1 ohms 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobClay 20 Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) i know an amp that would be perfect for them q's and its stable at 1ohm:) haha and ur budget would be a lil over 900 with the 2 15's and "this amp" Edited October 5, 2008 by RobClay 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smiley 0 Posted October 5, 2008 i basically want something that will be loud and can be very noticeable and reliable...i have the 1500zx but i can return it but would the 1500zx be able to make 2 15" or 2 12" FI Q bump? because i was told that the kicker amps werent stable at 1 ohm 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RobClay 20 Posted October 5, 2008 i basically want something that will be loud and can be very noticeable and reliable...i have the 1500zx but i can return it but would the 1500zx be able to make 2 15" or 2 12" FI Q bump? because i was told that the kicker amps werent stable at 1 ohmit will be loud. but you just cant wire the subs to a 1 ohm load on the amp if you keep the kicker1500, i would return it and buy that aq2200 and then it would be alot louder, perfect match for the q's at 1 ohm they will be seeking around 1100 watts to each sub 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chad y 1 Posted October 5, 2008 just order your subs in dual 2 ohm and wire in series and then parallel then you will have a 2 ohm load to the amp 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
