    yes i am new here, but i have have read nothing but good things about fi and sundown products. i have been looking through threads for an answer to my question, but haven't really come up with anything. as the topic says... 12" Q or 12" BL (both with the bp power option, dual 2) with a sundown 1500d... which would be better suited for daily driving? it will be in the trunk of a 99 pontiac grand am and will NEVER see a mic. what i am looking for is loud bass that is not sloppy sounding... which would you guys steer me towards as a good median sub for what i want? thanks for all your help and also... in the near future i would be doubling up... another 12" Q or BL (waiti…

    When I had my dodge, I had 3 TREO TSi's running from a Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1 amp. They sounded good. Ive sold those and I am leaning towards a 15 Fi Q for my 02 monte carlo. Im wanting a daily driver great sounding Sq set up. Could somebody tell me how the 15 will compare to the 3 10's i had? For the amp, I'm leaning towards the Sundown SAE-1000D. Would the SAZ-1500D be better? The price on this website would be the highest I want to spend on an amp. My headunit is a PANASONIC MXE CQ-C8413U if that matters. Thanks for all help. Sorry this was lengthy.

    Ok so I have this in a 6.0 cubic ft sealed box [ 5.75 net after displacement ] and I must say, the pictures and videos online do no justice compared to being in the presents of these fine, sound & pressure making monster machines!!! I appologize if that sounded ridiculous but I couldn't contain myself. This thing is a beast in person. Took a good deal of muscle just to pull it out of the box. It literally dwarfs anything else I've owned previously, which includes other 18'' subs. I was optimistic about being impressed with my choice but, It has clearly graduated that plateau. Short music listen: I started with some low volume demos of Slim Thug, UGK, Pastor Troy, You…

    Just wondering..and sorry if this has been asked before, which I'm sure it has somewhere. I ordered my two Q 12's. The BL and Q are the same price, same RMS handling, same size, same enclosure recommendations (aside from tuning which is a little different) . Just curious as to how they perform differently? Or is the difference mostly to being able to customize the BL more? Say putting them in a 1.8 cube box with 2k watts ported to 32 would having a BL or Q make much of a difference?

    I'm lookin at getting an 18" BL but I dunno what options I should get. I want it to be loud, but it will be a daily driver. I will be powering it with an eD NINe.1 (1200wrms) @ 1ohm. Any kind of input is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    ok, i wanted a btl or bl, but i really dont have the power for one and i dont want to have to change sub amps either. So i run my crossfire vr1000d, birthsheet rating is 1300 at 13.8. Car is just for winter driving or rainy days, i listen to mostly rock, metal, and then every once in while some rap. Anyway with my box i have now, 8 cubes tuned to 34hz which one better to use SSD18 or Q18"? I need it be at 1 ohm also. thanks

    i found this site while searching for info. on the fi subs. my car is a 98 nissan maxima. i listen to southern rap. the only thing i've bought so far are components (cdt hd-62/m6). i plan on getting a single q12 and putting it in a sealed enclosure fiberglassed into the wall of my trunk. what amp would you guys suggest? trying to stay away from the "bang for your buck" type stuff (which is all i know). something with a little more quality without going overboard. it wouldn't hurt if they made something that could power my comps as well (250rms @ 4ohms) cause i like stuff to match. thanks.

    Whats up, here is deal, i sold all my subs and amps few months back, thinkin i was out of audio. Now i am using my same box, just putting new baffle on it. It is a little over 8 cubes after port displacement tuned to 34hz. I usually just drive car in winter and when raining so i dont want to spend fortune. But anyway, i looked at running 18" BTL or BL. I will only be running a crossfire vr1000d, birthsheet says 1300 watts at 1 ohm at 13.8 volts. I have kinetik under hood and kinetik 2000 in back. What suggestions do yall have? I listen to anything from country to metal to rap. thanks for any help

    Title says it all. How would a FI Q10 compare vs an Infinity Kappa Perfect 10" VQ? I'm putting this in an Infiniti G35 coupe, and I'm looking for nothing but straight SQ, I want low extension and tight very musical bass, could care less about SPL. My enclosure size is .8cu ft., and the amp will be based on which sub I get, but it will be a higher end amp such as a Focal or Diamond.

  19. i know that there is the D1 and the D2 option, but then in the description it says its actually .75 a coil for the D1 & 1.5 a coil for the D2. But then i also keep hearing about these impedance spikes when it reaches a certain resistance. So basically what i want is the exact load for just one 15" BTL D1 & D2 wired series and parallel. so im looking for a total of 4 numbers. thanks -wes

    hey guys! looking over my sub right now and currently I have an 18 BL full loaded for daily driving. I originially had bought it to use it in an SPL comp I had that weekend and upon buying it, I have realied I don't have near enough room in my trunk. I have a maximum of 5 cu ft in my trunk (honda accord 1995) and this sub is screaming for more volume. Its so big the only way I could place it in was horizontally mounted. So, my question is this. Is there another sub or two subs that I can power with a size of 15" or less that'll do the same as this 18" BL but more reasonably. lol, sorry if that doesn't make any sense. For example though, I was looking at the 15" BTL. Can y…
