i guess the short answer to your question, if you're still reading, is "no". on all counts. now go put that money towards an education. maybe you'll learn more then all conventional wisdom suggests is true, and accomplish your impossible goals.

...for those of us who apparently have been living under a rock. what IS LSQ ? LSQ i got hehe

a sub that will seamlessly blend without powering the front stage. ...and he wants to run 1000wrms per sub and set off car alarms.

the microphones on most of those point and shoot camcorders dont do a good job at picking up the low frequencies, and generally at those sound levels they just distort and you dont hear anything else. In real life, obviously when you turn the sub up you will drown out the voices, simply 'cause your subs will push out many more decibels then your other speakers will. But if you turn down the gain on the amp, you can get a subwoofer that blends in with your front speakers, and "matches" them with the correct volume. thats less an issue of subwoofer type, and more an issue of how much power you're running and whether you control the bass level or not.

i've never heard of a singer who sings below 100 hz. i dont think either of these speakers will help you hear singers more.

Hey there! I'm currently running an RD alpha 12 ported @ 33hz and running it on an RD 1750.1 amp. It gets loud, but its not quick enough in the fast stuff (i listen to some rock/techno, as well as rap/hiphop). Sooo i was looking at getting something different. I've basically been comparing between all the "supersubs", which to me would be IDMAX 12, the new SI mag D2 (shipping soon), the JL W7 (way too overpriced and great but not amazing...). Anyways I know lots about the new SI and understand it will be an all out SQ sub, that happens to handle 1000wrms, so it'll be loud enough, but not amazingly loud. The IDMAX is a great overall sub... but i dont know much about the Fi. What would you say comparitively i would gain by going to an Fi ?? (are they louder/better SQ?) Also, assuming i went with the Q, would you reccomend 2 12's or 1 15. I have 1750w @ 1 ohm to run them with. I'm assuming sealed for the best sound quality... and ported for the additional output. I'd say go ported if the tradeoff isn't so bad, but i'm kind of scared that i'd end up with something similar to what i already have. Thanks for any help steering me into the right direction!! whatever i end up with, i know fishercustoms will hook me up with a sweet box for it! btw, its going into a mid-size SUV.
