Posted June 10, 200916 yr Which one of these subs would give me the most bangfor the money. btw I'm only have 1200watts to play with. i also want it to soundgood as well.
June 10, 200916 yr if thats 1200 per sub i would go with the bl, personally. but as you said "for the money" the AQ subs are obviously cheaper. ive heard both, and both get plenty loud and you wouldnt be disappointed with either. if thats 1200 TOTAL i would look into different subs....nothing wrong with underpowering, but if thats all the power you have you should consider a different choice of woofer(s).

June 10, 200916 yr Sensitivity is efficiency, meaning based on just that factor the BL would be louder. But it isn't the only parameter you need to be looking at.
June 12, 200916 yr Admin I personally would lean towards the BL, but that is my bias I guess. Regardless, it is a proven driver and was just recently upgraded.
June 15, 200916 yr Both are solid subs as I've built enclosures for a few BL's and numerous HDC's. HDC's will get plenty loud off 1200+ watts, just that they'll take 2k+ in the proper set up, so people assume that they "need" a lot of power. Could also consider a Q as I run one in the GF's car off a Sundown 1500 and it sounds good and gets plenty loud for her.
