Bronze Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 72 Registered: Sep-06 | my cousin came in town and ofcourse he works for JL, i showed him drawup for my system which includes two 18 FI Q's...well he told me that since there 18's the SQ wont be that good, i really want a nice SQL setup, (which is why i picked the Q) so i was wondering if there is any truth in the idea that 18's have bad SQ? also if i downgraded to two 15 inch Q's would it sound better? thanks |

Bronze Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 73 Registered: Sep-06 | i listen to alot of chopped and screwed music with lots of low bass....and slow hits....so for that application are 2 18" Q's acceptable? |

Gold Member Username: Alias747Eclipse Ti, MN Post Number: 1631 Registered: Apr-05 | ^^^ In that case get the 18s and revel in your sadistic gut-sickening, brain rattling, tounge flopping, ear drum bursting, eye-ball popping, nose bleeding, teeth chattering, over-the-top killer heart stopping LLLLOOOOOOWWWWSSSSS! And yeah and kick your friends ass for me! WAAAAHHHAHAHAHAH! ..... ... .. . Sorry not sure what came over me there. But 2 18" Q's would be mad awesome! |

The Q being their SQ version for FI, I bet it sound very very good for a 18... people say anything untill u turn ur hu on and let them have it!! Personaly I would go for the 18s, but I never pressure anyone, just leave more 18s avaiable for me... lol |
