RE SE vs. Fi Q
|
Bronze Member Username: Craudi0Post Number: 60 Registered: Mar-09 | I now have a re se 12" running off of a hifonics amp that is putting 900rms at 2 ohms to the sub, in a 2 cubic foot enclosure ported at 32hz. would it be a sufficient upgrade to get a Fi Q 12", and put it in the same box with the same amp? i would run the amp at 1 ohm. it's 1 ohm stable at 1200rms. and both subs are within the specifications of the box. ups and downs of this upgrade? |

Post Number: 6854 Registered: Nov-05 | well look at it this way.. if hes happy with the sound and just wants more output.. for the money just add a second and run the amp at 1ohm be cheaper and less hassle than trying to sell the SE 12" then buy a Fi Q 12" you'd have more output with the SEs.. and you already know what to expect x2 and abarca.. the SEs sound like sex.. thats why lol  you heard them |

Bronze Member Username: Craudi0Post Number: 61 Registered: Mar-09 | ok, but the only downside to this would be having to get a different box...... on the REaudio website it doesnt show specs for 2 re se subs, so would 4 cubes at 32 hz be good? i like the way mine sounds now with 2 cubes at 32 hz. would it be the same sound, just more output? |

Post Number: 15149 Registered: Jul-05 | im running 2 10s RE SE d4 in my ride but i have them in a 1cuft\each sub sealed since i prefer SQ more than loud i did try them once in a 1.75cuft box tuned to 32hz & they sounded very sweet but too loud for my front speakers so i went sealed ...still pretty loud to me in sealed ...had it metered once - did 139.8dbs ..... http://forums.trinituner.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=200026&highlight=rovin+revie w |

Bronze Member Username: Craudi0Post Number: 73 Registered: Mar-09 | now that i think about it i'm just going to use 1" mdf all the way, so i dont have to double baffle or do any braces. and yeah the enclosure isn't too big so it should be fine |
