15" Q or BL

Recommended Posts

ok so ive been doing some research for a new sub the past couple weeks..

ive come to the conclusion that i want to get an Fi sub and another later down the line

i just wanted a little more info on the BL series subs cuz i havent heard too much about them

ive heard alot about the Q's and i figured by the looks of it that the BL's are a higher line of subs compared to the Q's

im basically looking for whatever will pound the hardest

it will be hooked up to a RF T10001BD amp

and installed in a 07 ext cab tacoma

i listen to rap and r&b

any pros/cons of Q vs BL?

im looking to buy a 15" in about a month

and planning to get another in a couple of months

along with a bigger amp

the sub i choose will have all the best options included when i order it

any info on the BL is appreciated..

thanks guys

The Q and Bl are basically two variations on the same level of woofer. (like mitsubishi eclipse and eagle talon). The Q is made to be as linear as possible and some just amazing, it does get loud and low too. The Bl is made for those who don't necessarily want to take the step to the btl level, can handle more power than the Q, but at 1000 watts, I am willing to guess the Q will outperform the bl in output due to the stiffer suspension on the Bl.

SO my recommendation would be to get the Q.

Basically what ive heard BL has about 25% more spl then the Q and the BL is just a little behind on the SQ. If you like lower bass notes IMO you should go with a Q, if you like higher hertz and more spl, then you should go with the BL

I have a 15" BL powered by a RF T10001BD amp, so go with the BL, the birthsheet on the T10001BD should be roughly 1500watts at 1ohm, the Q I dont think would be able to handle that daily. But besides that I am satisfied with my BL!

That's were the BP option comes in handy for the ssd & Q woofers.

SPL output is dependent on the install and enclosure as well....

earthman is right the BP option allows the SSD to handle about 1100 watts (maybe more if you get the flatwind)..... Q maxes out stock around 1300 so the BP should give you up to around 1500....
