RE SX vs. FI BL

[hawaiianbass 0]

Hey im kinna new here, so sorry if this is a newbie question.

im looking for 2 12's that will go in a lexus es300 trunk. it will be run off 2,000 watts for daily.

i have been given the price for 2 sx 12's and i must say, $1100 is kinna expensive for me

the BLs look pretty good to me.

are the BL's similar (or better) than the sx's? and whats the weight of the BL 12? (the sx 12 is like 24 lbs)

thanks for the help....

You would do better IMO with 2 FI q's since they are rated stock 1000 watts...

The Bl's are fine on 1000 watts but once you start customizing it your increasing its power handling.

with 1kw per sub, i'd recommend going with the Q's as well...bl's tend to like more power

I believe another Hawaiian is selling a pair of SSD's..which would be what I would recommend with 1000w. My 12" SSD doesn't get moving till ~1000 and it's rated for 800wRMS, so I would think that the Q's would want more than 1000w too.

*Fi = underrated*

Yea I believe that as well dopey which is why I need to find either a different amp or sale my subs...

sucks having D1 coils...

I'm the other Hawaiian LOL

Yeah i have 2 SSD copper coils up for sale......

I am upgrading to Q's so i can throw much more power at my subs...

thanks guys. props to u man from oahu...im from maui.

yeah FI is like non existent here on maui, and everyone laughs at RE (so far).

they wont be laughing when i get them tho

so do any of you guys know the weight of the sub? the Q that is. i think i may go stock on a Q. depends on what looks good at the time tho. my lexus's shocks are super smooth, so the car will drop with weight in the back lmao.

thanks guys tho. much appreciation for any help.

Q is about 25 lbs. My Q can easily handle more than 1000 watts.

thanks. and how much cubes should i put them in? i had a 5 cube box with a 12 mojo in it and that barely fir in the trunk.

this should be a lot more reasonable....
