New system build sub selection help

[lrou204 0]

Hello guys,

New to the Fi World and need some help making the right subwoofer choice between 10" or 12" before ordering. This will be a trunk install in a Honda S2000 CR so space is a bit limited and box will need to be sealed.

System Build (so far):

Enclosure "Sealed" Max 1.0 cubic ft before displacement. Max mounting depth ~7.75"

Power (2) Digital Designs SS1's strapped = 1200 watts clean (from a previous install)

HeadUnit Kenwood KIV-BT900 4.0V pre-amp outputs

Wire KnuKonceptz 1/0 awg

Battery/Alt Stock for now

Distribution Block SoundStream PowerPlant

Front stage TBD...DLS, Focal, etc.

Although I was interested in the BTL-N1, the mounting depth probably will not allow due to the new motor designs. I am a bit more on the SQ end of the spectrum so I have basically decided on the Q (open to suggestions of course!) but an email from Nick leans toward a 12" but I am concerned about the air space.

Q10 specs .2-.6 and Q12 .8-1.2...I should be at ~.88 cubic ft for the Q10 and ~.84 cubic ft for the Q12

Because I have no experience with Fi and would usually go for the cone area, not sure if I would be better off on the upper end of the recommended air space range with the 10???

Help with Q options (@1200watts):

High QTS is a definite

Cooling?

I Heat Ring?

Thanks,
