Posted June 10, 201114 yr Hello everyone,I decided that I want to put a 12" Fi Q subwoofer to replace my current setup in my SUV. Here's some info that may help you help me make a decision.Vehicle: 05 Toyota 4RunnerMusic: Rap, Hip-Hop, House/ElectroCurrent Setup (Since '05):Alpine CDA-98302 Rockford Fosgate 12" P2's pushing 400w RMS totalMTX amp pushing 420w RMSCustom-made sealed box (Don't know exact measurements, but it takes up half of the trunk)Based on the vehicle I own and the music I listen to, which one should I get?For the sub box that I'm going to have someone build (I don't have the space or tools to do it), I want to go sealed, unless you guys can convince me why ported is the way to go. If I go sealed, what options should I add on, and why? What about ported?What amp should I use with this subwoofer? I was thinking about brands such as Hifonics, Memphis, Phoenix Gold, Rockford Fosgate and Sundown.Is 4 Gauge good enough for this type of sub?
June 10, 201114 yr you stated that you want to get a Q 12, then ask which one you should get? little confused.Why do you want to upgrade?The gauge of wire is determined by the amp, not the sub.
June 11, 201114 yr Author My bad, I was about to put down that I wanted a 12 or 15. The sub needs 1000w rms so I wanted to make sure that 4 gauge was good enough

Like if you were running a 2KW amp 0awg would be a necessity. Generally speaking if the amp is rated at 1000W you can get away with 4awg, but it doesn't hurt to use 0awg
