AllenH427 10 Posted January 11, 2011 Trying to help my brother out here. The SSD will sound good enough for him, quite a step up from a rf p2 so I'm just going by what would you guys expect to be louder? Each sub would be in a proper enclosure. It'll be in his eclipse, which is a hatchback. Single 10". 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hzd Skizzy 27 Posted January 11, 2011 What kind of power will he be running? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian 641 Posted January 11, 2011 I would suggest the BL, It would be much louder and sound very good on 1200 watts... Although it is vehicle Dependant, I'm very confident that the output of the Q will not suffice. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllenH427 10 Posted January 11, 2011 I keep trying to push him to the BL, but it's a little out of his budget... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian 641 Posted January 11, 2011 I keep trying to push him to the BL, but it's a little out of his budget...You're not trying hard enough! from a stock Q to a BL the price is only aprox ~30$ difference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bimmerboy 3 Posted January 11, 2011 what are your brothers goals? enclosure (sealed/ported)? What type of music does he listen to? Is he going for SPL or SQ or just an all around daily sub?Looks like his budget is around $250 for a sub and as you stated he will be running an aq1200. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirill007 52 Posted January 11, 2011 SSD will be louder then the Q under perfect conditions, but 1200w is quite a lot for the SSD daily. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian 641 Posted January 11, 2011 SSD will be louder then the Q under perfect conditions, but 1200w is quite a lot for the SSD daily. Surprised this hasn't been said.Exactly.. Your best option for that kind of power is the BL. the BL will too be louder on the same power than the Q. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swift 501 Posted January 11, 2011 Is the BL that big of a difference compared to the Q? From the videos and reviews I have seen the Q can get pretty loud. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
altoncustomtech 773 Posted January 11, 2011 For all intensive basic purposes, yes, there is an audible and easily measurable difference. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Q has a stronger motor and can handle more power than the SSD. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your best option for that kind of power is the BL. the BL will too be louder on the same power than the Q.Why do you say that? The Q has a stronger motor and can handle more power than the SSD.A stronger motor and more rated power handling does now equate to more loud.Now that we have that clarified, I don't agree with Julian here, the modern Q has changed a lot from what it was, it is geared more for loud than sound quality. In this situation I will STILL go with a BL or BTL, without a doubt. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllenH427 10 Posted January 11, 2011 He's pretty set on not getting a BL. And consider for music purposes, the SSD will not be seeing that full 1200 watts, more around the 900-1000 watt range.To answer the question above, he's going ported FO SHO, and he listens to rap. It's going to be a daily sub, but to narrow it down further, which one would be louder on music? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deto1992 5 Posted January 15, 2011 A fully loaded ssd is the way to go. With the power option, the ssd will be able to handle 1000 watts probably even 1200 as long as your not gain happy. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
