Posted December 20, 200816 yr Hey, I'm planning on buying a 12'' Fi Q sub, and I was wondering what type of box would be good for me...I have a polk/momo c500.1. I was planning on getting the dual 1ohm to run 500rms to the sub.I'm looking for good SQ(obviously why I'm getting the Q) but I want to be able to feel that chit in my back if I want to, lol.It's going in an older 4DR BMW. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.If you need anymore info, I'll answer as best I can. Edited December 20, 200816 yr by Z.R.
December 20, 200816 yr you wont be able to feel it like i think you wantbut it'll hit good...but if you want SQ....seal it... put it in .8-1.5 cuft
December 20, 200816 yr 500w is going to be hard get get "feeling" out of. You could seal it for now like sandsnip3r suggested, and then purchase a larger amplifier later on.
December 20, 200816 yr What about a SSD in a 2.5ft^3 tuned to 32hz?In my opinion it would still have the Sq your looking for, while still giving you "the feel" you want.
December 20, 200816 yr Author Thanks for all the input guys, I appreciate it. You might be getting the wrong idea of "feel", though, I'm not really looking for something that's going to be heard down the block.I just want the inside of the car to vibrate a bit, you know?I might have got the wrong impression, but my friend drives a new Altima and he has a JL W7 12'', I think, might even be 10.He's running 500w and his hits great, not ridiculous thump but you can definitely feel the music and the mirrors shake a bit.I'm going to look into that SSD, chad, but I think I might do like the others said and just seal the Q and save up for a 1000wrms amp later on.But, do you guys think 500w sealed Q will keep me happy for the meantime, based on what I've said so far?
December 21, 200816 yr yeah... you'll be happy with it... and the crispness of the sub.... and for a side note my 2 12s ported are on around 100 watts and mine move some air
