Posted May 21, 200718 yr The vehicle is a 2006 cadillac cts Right now i have 2 jl w3 12'' v1's in a i believe 3.5-4 cu ft box tuned to 33hz running off a chitttty pioner 760w amp that i picked up off a buddy when my jl 500/1 blew.. The amp puts out id say roughly 300-350w actualNow i just got an awesome deal on a kicker zx 750.1 and my subs wont run on the proper ohm to utilize this amp properly. So i decided im gonna give FI a try. I'd like to go with a single 12'' to be able to see some of my trunk again. I couldn't imagine having any less bass then i have now, i know im going to be doubling the power, but also having 1/2 the cone area. Do you think the SSD will be able to fill my need for bass off the 750.1 or would the Q get louder?Im not to familiar with these subs but ive heard lots of good things, i hate to compair to mainstream but what sub(s) do the SSD compare to? I'm familiar with JL,kicker, and RE the most so if any of those have a sub that compare to the SSD what would it be?Also what sub would the Q compare to, i know every sub is different and what not, but im looking for the closest comparision you could give me...Thanks for reading my long unorganized ramble, i look forward to dealing with FI!!
May 21, 200718 yr SSD would be a great combo though your box is too big for one 12.Maybe w/flatwind option you could that extra db or so peak out of it w/another box.I think you'll likee!
May 21, 200718 yr The SSD would be better off that amp and should be awesome ported. The Q would be good with 1-1.2kw. Running mine right now with 1200 and the output is pretty surprising. Beats out my old 12w3v2's off the xenon 600.1 and I'd say its not much behind my 2 12" RL-p's when they were sealed w/ 1.5kw. Don't want to comment about the sound quality yet but so far, it's good. The SSD and Q should retain their musicality ported if the box is right, mine sure does.

May 30, 200718 yr I'm running a 12" Q sealed in a 1.7cube sealed box, sounds great and gets plenty loud for me when i need it to, but i'm throwing 1200W at it. I probably wouldn't be as happy with it if i only had 600-700W
May 30, 200718 yr SSD12 copper coil, 2 cuft at 32 Hz... good little combination with that amp. Thanks,Scott
May 31, 200718 yr Author sorry im kinda noob, whats the diff between the copper coil and the reg coil?
