Here's the deal... The car is a 2001 chevrolet s10 blazer 4 door and i currently have a 12in l7 kicker (4ohm dvc) with an enclosure of 3.75^3.ocft @ 35hz... powering with an Sundown audio saz1000.1d the sub is currently gettinh 600rms on a 2ohm load... i'm looking for something with quality and want it to get low and loud. i've came to a conlusion to go with an Fi q, the only problem is i don't know whether to go with a 12in fi q 2.5cft@ 32hz or a 15in fi q with an 2.6cft... not sure of options since havn't made up my mid on what size nor know what options to go with with either setup... i will be running the amp on a 1ohm load to feed 1k rms to this fi q. i'm leaning more to the 15in sealed since i can get more quality and loudness since it's bigger oppose to the 12in sealed...... but not sure... i listen to diff genras of music but mainly hip hop, trance 'n r & b I'm sort of limited on cargo space which is why i think of going 2.6sealed on the 15in... any ecpirenced user that can give some feedback would be great!!! thanks

I'd go with the sealed 15" as well.

12" BL ported

And remember, a smaler sub can in a optimum situation will outperform a larger sub in a less THEN optimum situation

Will the 12in fi q 2.5 @32 hz do what i want it to do, i just want something that's musical and loud keep in mid i listen to diff music genreas this is a daily drivin car and not compititon

A 12 will sound beautiful

I say the 15 sealed be very close to the loudness as the 12 but sound lots of better deeper and punchy bass just what you need in a small cab

ported 12.

Yep, the BL 12" ported will do what you want WAY more than the Q. It is musical and not a competition sub.

I've been doing a bit of research regarding the 12in fi q ported with a 2.5 cft and some seem to say that going with 2.2cft is a bit better sq, is this true or what's the deal about this regarding drawbacks using a 2.5cft oppose to 2.0cft thanks

You want a BL because the Q is not for you...are you going for an SQ setup no! then get a BL the BL is musical too..many people are mistaking the BL as a spl sub witch it is not.

Read what ///M5 said yet again.

You are going to blow a Q. It cannot handle the abuse a BL can because it is made for pristine quality, NOT loud.

The Q can be loud, for sure. But it does not seem to be what you need.

Get a 12" BL ported if you want a Fi. You'll love it.

Listen to M5 !

ok, cool =) How will the 12in fi bl do on a 2.5cft @ 32 hz do? i don't want to use a bigger enclosure... and what options should i get for when i'm ready to purchase, keep in mid this will be powered by a sundown saz1000.1d on a 1ohm load... and is for daily use no competition... thanks alot guys!!!!

2.5 cubes is a bit big for a single 12"

Really, what's a good size than? thanks

2 cubes is optimal for them.

12" BL ported

Before I even got done reading the original post I was going to suggest this. A 12" ported will be louder than 15" sealed, also.
