Doctor Q

my LG sound theather would sound louder than 3 12'' sony xplod.. hahahahaha okay. well i think that my ported 15 Q will rape his xplods then.. one more day and i should have it all. they didnt work monday because of the snow and the guy working on my box is off tommmorw so if he finishes tonight he can leave it and i can pick it up tomrw... if not then friday afternoon ill have it woooot wooot! yeah well.. you wont be dissapointed.. those are really a beasts.. even tho they arent made for SPL, they could give a hard time to a RE SX.. i got a q15d2 and its really making me a hard time breathing, besides, im really proud cuz im like.. one of the few ppl in my country that has an fi sub, it took me some really hard work to get one, ill be posting my instalation real soon. well hope you enjoy your new sub yeah i cant wait... what kind of car/truck do u have yours in?

Q... but then again i may be a lil biased

my LG sound theather would sound louder than 3 12'' sony xplod.. hahahahaha okay. well i think that my ported 15 Q will rape his xplods then.. one more day and i should have it all. they didnt work monday because of the snow and the guy working on my box is off tommmorw so if he finishes tonight he can leave it and i can pick it up tomrw... if not then friday afternoon ill have it woooot wooot!

i actually just got of the phone with the installer... hes building a box made to max. width and max height and then see what the depth is that way i will save more spac.... it will be around 4 cu. ft. (not sure if thats before or after displacement) and then its tuned at 32hz. i will try to post pics up when i get it back later tommorrw. im so excited.

yeah ik that i was just saying i was going to go with one of those but im saying between like 28 and 34 how much lows would i miss at 34 and with 28 how much of the high frewquencies would i miss...

yo matt. you got ur Q's at 32 right? well i cant decide what to tune mine to... i was thinkin like 30 or 32... i love lows but dont want to be missing out on all the upper hertz until i get my middbass speakers but thatll be like this summer... do u feel like ur 40-60hz is lacking?

i just read my last post haha i meant ski-pass not ass

for cars with folding seats, which is best?

yeah im lookin at something like this with a 15" Q..... what should i tune it to? i love lows but i also want to be able to get most of the bass of any hip hop and rap songs.. like someone with a Q that had it @ 28hz said it missed all of the higer frequenceies... like anyhting above 60 and right now i dont have any midbass speakers or anything so what should i do?

Very true Jon's trunk is a little bigger and he has sort of a shelf near the back of it and mine just kinda chokes down from the wheel wells! Every car is different... sorry if I missed that but what kind of car is this going in Dr. Q? 1999 volvo s70... so i have like a ski-ass hole.. can i just but the port vent next to that instead of cut that thing in the reardeck? or should i put the sub next to the ski-ass hole? the guy making the box said the port and sub have to be on the same plane? idk why but i guess that means id put the port thru the ski-pass and have the sub so that if i fold the seats down its chillin right there lookin into the cabin

so you are saying you had the sub facing the trunk and now u turned it around and it is facing the backseats? so im thinkin maybe seal the trunk off then have the sub right up next to the backseats facing into the cabin and have the port slot right where the skipass thing is?? sound good? any better ideas?

or do u think my 1 15" sealed Q could get louder than those 2 12" Xplods ported?

Sorry for being possibly the most indecisive person haha but i am going to go with a ported enclosure... i know these are the farthest from comparable subs but i heard 2 12" xplods ported and want to be atleast that loud and a single 15" Q sealed i was wondering how close would that be? 2 12"s get louder then 1 15" if they are all ported so 2 12"s ported will for sure get louder than 1 15" sealed, but then again the 15 is a Fi Q and the 12"s are xplods... also the 12"s are in a Nissan Xterra and the 15" is in a Volvo S70..... Any suggestions?? After hearing his setup i want to be atleast that loud and i have heard from people that have ported Q's that they have still retained most of the SQ but the gain in SPL was superb. If i get it sealed, its 2.6 cu. ft. but idk how to setup the box yet, and If i get it ported, its 3.5 cu. ft. w/ 42 sq. in of port and tuned @ 32hz. I need to know ASAP because my equipment is at the shop and they are waiting on me to give them the "ok" but i dont want to regret anything.

120mph+ in a Mercedes C320 in Italy on the autostrata... i was urging my dad to do more but he wouldnt. ill have to go back on my own sometime

so your saying have it so that when i open my trunk there is a wall with the sub in the middle and then if i go inside my car and flip my seats down it will be the back side of the box... and maybe but the amp there or i could also put it in the trunk

yeah true.. well any ideas????

Okay so i went to Freemans Audio today to give the guy my idea of what i wanted to do with the box. I arrived with the intention of sealing off the trunk and having the sub faced towards the cabin.... the guy said that it would be better to have it in the trunk facing the trunk becuase it would resonant off the trunk, if it fired into the cabin, i would be the first thing it hit... For "my way" wouldnt there be less trunk rattle and it be louder to there ear? versus "his way" would have more trunk rattle and some of the sound would be sealed in the trunk??? I dont have to long before i have to tell them my final plan... tommorow they will most likely start working on it and they are waiting for my final approval. thanx guys, alex

yeah i realize that the Q's arent as loud as the BLs or BTLs but i love the lowwws and plus it gave me the option to go sealed first and then ported if i wanted to be louder and the only thing i have to change is the box whereas if i got a BL and wanted it luoder i would have to get another sub and another amp and more chit, unless i got a bigger amp at first and had it wired diff but whatever... MY POINT being is that the Q's will get loud, sound good, and get low as a mother******. Q's FTW!

oh ok. well i think later down the road im definately looking at porting my Q so leme know how they sound.

why do u say porting most definately?

haha ik how u feel.. now im dying to install mine. what are u putting yours in? and are u sealing or porting them?

i got a 15" Q with red dustcap and it looks sick nasty! im glad i got red

if anyone wants to send me some slowed songs it would be GREATLY appreciated. i can give u my email in a PM or whatever u want thanx

***edit*** made a mistake. i was lookin in the wrong box hahahah my bad.. i apologize.

i got an email sayin that the billing info had been received and it gave a ETA which isnt really the ETA and then a few days later i checked the email again and it had updated it with a new "real" ETA and it said like "In route" or something to that effect.
