Posted June 4, 200817 yr Hey guys,Strongly considering purchasing a Q10, but not sure I have the amplifier power.I've got a zapco 500 watt amp, is it going to be enough to run the Q10 in a ported enclosure? I'm not looking to be super loud, just want good SQ on the lower end.One last question - what is the current wait time on one of these?Thanks! Edited June 4, 200817 yr by sp0rk
June 4, 200817 yr I believe the Q will still get reasonably loud in a ported box on the larger of the recommended box sizes with 500w.
June 5, 200817 yr I've run bigger, less efficient subs on less power and been pleased. More than loud enough to shake the car and sounded beautiful. Referring to an older XXX 12.
June 5, 200817 yr I don't know, I have a Q10 on an sae-1000d at 2ohms, so probably about 600rms. I'v run it both sealed and ported and I really think it would be better on more power. It is musical as all getout but just lacks the loudness I was looking for in the lows. This is why I plan to add another 10 soon.

My guess is your issue is box related, you shouldn't draw conclusions until you try to fix things.
