No that is not true.

hey bro, all of those are good choices from what ive heard. i personally have a 18" fi q with the bp power option and it is amazing! it picks up highs and lows, and i have my box tuned really low. my every day box is tuned to 28 hz and it picks up almost everything and slams it out with authority. i would def recommend the q to anybody. just make sure u get it in a good box, whatever it is that u get.

What sub will you be getting? There are too many factors to even give a rough estimate on how many dbs, such as: install, box, proper electrical upgrades and then equipment).

yea bro all the subs u listed are in different power classes so it would depend on which sub u get

The SSD is a very underrated subwoofer that is built like a tank and can take a lot of power if set up correctly. It has great sound and get's plenty loud for a daily set up.

I have to agree. The SSD is a great sub.

well im thinking of going with the fi q. i plan on upgrading a battery to a yellow top and upgrading my alt to either 250 amp or 300 amp and i already have 0 gauge ran. and i want to put it in at least a 6 cubic foot box tuned at 30 to 35 hertz

Good choice in keeping with Fi!

6 cubic feet is right at the bottom of the recommended box size. Make sure you have 6 cubic feet after speaker and port displacement.

should i do a box thats in the middle like 7.5 or 8 cubic ft would that help the sub out more?

I would do something like 8 cubic feet with 128 square inches of port tuned to 28-30hz for the Q!
