Alright so I have had my system in for a couple of months now and I have finally had some time to really get to know it. Now that the hype of having a new system is over I am starting to listen to my normal music and not just rap, so thats stuff like 311, Eve 6, and Modest Mouse. And i have to say is that, it sounds amazing for being a 15. It keeps up with the fastest drum kicks and its clean and crisp. I could not be happier with the SQ of this sub. Before i had 2 10's and those were amazing for rock but this is just as good if not better, I got the benefit of being much louder and having lower notes but did not give up any accuracy!

Now for the SPL side of the Q. This baby is loud!!! I was totally blown away by how loud this driver will get. I went in with the idea of just having a really good SQ setup which i did, AND i got a spl score worth cometiting with! I couldnt believe it when i hit a 145.4 on my first run ever playing Lil Jon. Now I am just curious of what I can really hit after tweaking and playing tones. The only thing that could be better to me that what I have now is 2 Q 15's

Heres what Im Running

98' S-10 Ex. Cab

HU:Panasonic CQ-C7403U

Sub: Fi Q 15' d2

Amp: Hifonics BXI 1606d

Box: 4cubes @ 30 htz (by Scott)

Batt: Deka Intimidator

Dbs: 145.4 in the headrest (Throw it up)

Now some pics

This is pretty much the bulk of my stuff, I believe it is a successful setup.

Thank you Scott and everyone else at Fi, I couldnt have done it without your help! You have my all of my respect and gratitude.

Amazing... I hit almost the same numbers with my Resonant Engineering SX 15 in my yukon (146.3 in 5.5 cubes, tuned to 33hertz). With it tuned at 30 hertz, that's a nice number. I'm wanting the Q-series 18 if I can sell my current 15. Congrats! How do you like that Hifonics amp? I've heard mixed reviews about them, but also heard the 06+ models push what they say. What do you think?

how the Hifonics playing the Fi?

u think it can take more?

i have d 2000D in it.

power like mad.

ramdaspadhye, both the 2005 and 2006 are the same amps wit different heatsinks.

they wont disappoint you.

I am also curious to know how the Hifonics amp performed. I have the 1606d also and I am hoping to get this same subwoofer. Did Scott help you out with the dimensions?

I know this post is old but I would like to say this is the post that started my car audio journey, I have 2 fi 15 Qs walled and I just got a DD M3a and I got 148.2 at the dash sealed. My buddy just sent me 0 gauge wire today and I will be doing the big 3 very soon to keep my voltage steady, so I can drop down to .5 ohm. Im also getting sound deadener to deaden my doors and floor to possibly increase some spl. I only had time to test 2 songs and thats the score I got on Throw it up. With a little more tweaking and few more additions I hope to break 150. So thank you for this review you made!
