Posted September 28, 200816 yr I have a JBL 1200.1db amplifier and have been looking for subs to push with it. Should I get 1 12" FI Q sub? if so, any advice where I could look to get the best deal on one? or two....wouldn't think the amp could push two....
September 28, 200816 yr The amp could 'push' two. You would be splitting the wattage though. If you got a fully loaded Q that would be a good match. Maybe look in to a BL as well. Or an Icon.

Or an Icon.Im not too crazy about BL and not familiar with Icon at all... so are you sayin 1 fully loaded 12" FI Q is the way to go?
September 28, 200816 yr Author how much room do you have to use and what are your plans sealed porteda dual 12" ported bass slammer enclosure... 15.3 x 33.3 x 16.0 (height, width, depth)could purchase a different enclosure if needed...
September 28, 200816 yr dont use a prefab box with any decent subs you should have a box custom built for a good sub and if that box is ported for two subs its way to small for q's

How can I go about finding out what deminsions I need for an enclosure for this set up?
September 28, 200816 yr Author what type of vehicle is it going inmore than likely a 1995 lexus es300
September 28, 200816 yr Author Okay, so what exactly are your goals. Loud bass? Rap music?yes loud/deep bass... rap, hip hop, and some rock every now and then
September 28, 200816 yr I PERSONALLY would go with a 15" BL. I used to have a 12" Q which I loved. If you go with either one of those two woofers, you won't be disappointed.
September 28, 200816 yr well 2-12's are gonna be the loudest but use the most room and cost the most a 15 will take up a lot of room and and be a little louder than a single 12 the single will use the least amount of room and cost the least it will not be as loud as the others but will still get loud. a recommended enclosure for as single 12 would be 14hx34wx14d with a port 12.5hx3wx33L after displacement comes out to just over 2cu tuned to 30hz a good box for a Q12

September 28, 200816 yr Author Yes.Edit: With the proper enclosure.any ideal for the specs on a 15" enclosure?
September 28, 200816 yr Author 16hx48wx16d with a port 14.5hx4wx24.25lhow do you come up with these deminsions?
September 28, 200816 yr It's all math. If you go on Fi's website they will give you the recommended box six and tuning frequency. JL audio's website has the formula for calculating port lengths. Or you can go on SSA's website and they have a box calculator.
September 28, 200816 yr No problem. Always glad to help out. Also, if you need anyone to build you a box, check out Fisher Customs and Pound That Sound on the forums. Both make EXCELLENT enclosures!
September 28, 200816 yr there really isnt even a comparison between the two...other than the fact that the same company makes them.they are two different subs for two different purposes. q is an sq based woofer and the btl is an spl woofer....that one top of tons of internal differences that i cant even name...i just know there are.
