Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 153 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 16478 Registered: Jul-05 | seems to be a nice low wattage sub with a 250wrms rating it seems perfect for those wanting a simple 1 amp system so u can get like a 100x4 @ 4ohms 4 channel amp & use chan 1\2 on a pair of comps & sub on 3\4 channels bridged i see they have a 2ohms svc version too so it can work well for 5 channel amps which usually does the most power off the 5th channel at 2ohm so that wud be perfect for this application ..... |

Gold Member Username: Gcs8Atlanta, Ga Post Number: 1047 Registered: Sep-09 | its an entry lvl sub that i want to play with. i really want to see what a 250watt entry lvl sub can do compared to main stream subs. |

Diamond Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 23188 Registered: Jun-06 | $139 for a FI 15" sub is very tempting to try. Especially in the HT market where 250w is normally PLENTY. |
|
Silver Member Username: SkdooleyRoanoke, VA Usa Post Number: 943 Registered: Oct-09 | So the single 4 is running at a 2.9 ohm load? That's a sweet deal though for someone looking for affordable subs and not running a lot of power. |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2345 Registered: Apr-07 | good price imo, but if it's like the old ones they never recommended more than the rms (which the old were 300). I would love to do a bunch of them in a wall or something, or hell a pair in a trunk car with a budget build, but they're just such low power...They definitely fill in the 1-500 rms range that Fi has been neglecting for a while. Paul, I was thinking the same thing on the HT side. |

Platinum Member Username: Nyyfan13Northern VA Post Number: 11928 Registered: Jul-06 | It's*back* out. They used to sell this sub or a sub very similar to this back when they were first around. Nice looking entry sub. |

Gold Member Username: JoebruceTC Sounds/DLS Post Number: 3050 Registered: May-04 | "i dont mess around with anything less than 1000 rms" What exactly is that supposed to mean? Are you saying subs with less than 1000wrms are not gonna sound good or get loud? Thats very funny to me. |

Platinum Member Username: Rovin1 15 = 153 DBs ...Trinidad & T... Post Number: 16480 Registered: Jul-05 | well they r cheap so if u have the space u cud use 2\3\4 of em with not much power & the added cone area will give u some decent output for daily i want 1000wrms - most of the time i wont use all of it but its a nice amt of power to have on tap when u want to bump ur fav song ... |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2346 Registered: Apr-07 | twiztid there are plenty of low power subs that sound good, but I can understand where Ryan is coming from. I'd have to run 40 X series subs just to give them RMS off my amp. There's no way in hell I'm doing 40 anything nonwalled, and there's no way I'm not taking advantage of the power I already have. Now 12 SSDs would be more reasonable. They are a great entry level sub if like the old ones, but they are just that- entry level. |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 616 Registered: Jul-09 | I couldnt imagine a 1000wrms going to a Q in an ht setup! Wow! Would be loud though. Someone going to try one of these x's an post some reviews? |
|
Gold Member Username: Kyle_lowePost Number: 1199 Registered: Apr-06 | well troy, there is a HUGE difference between what you are running and the average 1000w system. there is nothing wrong with running a subwoofer(s) on less than 1kw. also im not so sure why subs like these are considered entry level. they are the same build quality, same quality parts, just not made to take huge amounts of power, and are easier on the bank account. i do not see that as entry level, i see it as targeting another category of consumers. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8066 Registered: Feb-06 | stupids 2 15s x will be louder than a single q or bl 12" or even 15" with 1000rms to the q and 1000rms (500 rms each) to the x's cone area and efficiency.. noobs bunch of douchbags now days |

Silver Member Username: JemoneTucker, Georgia United States Post Number: 396 Registered: Jan-06 | Yeah, i would love to hear these things in a ht setup too. Sometimes you just dont realize how loud 250 watts can get in a home theater till you do it. |

Silver Member Username: QuirkySan Antonio, Texas Post Number: 458 Registered: Feb-07 | haha someone feels like they are mr. bad A over here... I don't care how long you have been registered or how many posts you have, but when you generalize everyone as douchbags and "stupids" its a good indicator to others you may be one yourself. I don't believe anyone on here mentioned two X15"s would not be louder than 1 BL15". One of my first set ups was with the original X12s. They were pretty decent subs. They have definitely upgraded the drivers since then. here is the old X12 specs to compare. Specs: X12 D4 Fs 25.7 Hz Re 3.9 Ohm sper coil Qms 4.01 Qes .38 Qts .35 Mms 120g Cms 3.2mm/N Sd 480 cm^2 Vas 104.1 l SPL 88.6 dB 1W/1m BL 20.0 N/A Xmax 16mm RMS 300W |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3Http://illuzonemu.serv..., ^^^Sick Game Post Number: 8082 Registered: Feb-06 | cone area and efficiency will always ALWAYS be louder with the same amout of power given in same spectrum they will be in.... HOWEVER..... when the subs reach their mechanical limits with the power given.. the other ( i assume is much higher rated ) will start to kick in.. all the depends on: specs of the wofer cone area box volume and design the spectrum wich they will be in ( a hatchback will always be louder than a trunk) power handling tempeture also mostly to check the output of the woofer simple.... multiply xmax times cone area and you have a point of volume output all depends on these aspects but 2 15s xs with 500 rms will be louder than a bl or q 15 with the same power given 500 rms then you upgrade from 500 to 1000 rms you will see that their both will be doing the same output again HOWEVER because of more surface area the more easier is to achive lower notes (sub 20hz notes) that will yield in a more deep sounding boom than a single 15. thank you very much have a nice day bottom line the more air you move the louder it will get |

Gold Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 2347 Registered: Apr-07 | http://www.thefreedictionary.com/entry-level This sub is definitely best geared towards a first time system owner. Low cost, low power handling, etc. Not saying it's poor quality, but by being their lowest level of subs it is entry level. The most cone area I can fit in my truck would be 12 12s ported. Now even at rms thats 3000 watts for the X. The same number of SSDs (the next step up) could handle around 10,000 watts. That's a huge theoretical difference in output G.I. Rob. I could do 4 12s or 2 18s on that 10k watts and be louder theoretically. Besides who buys a BL and gives it 500 rms? Yes cone area is great, but how many people want a ton of subs? Some vehicles you can only fit ONE sub, so 1 X 250 watts, or 1 X 1000 watts would be a very noticeable difference given the right enclosure. Xmax is nice, but not necessary for SPL. |

Silver Member Username: JbpittPittsburgh, Pa. Usa Post Number: 628 Registered: Jul-09 | lol holy sh-it paul. Im betting that it sounds pretty good? If you dont mind me asking,how much did you pay for that dayton? or how much do they go for? |

Silver Member Username: QuirkySan Antonio, Texas Post Number: 461 Registered: Feb-07 | That home audio setup looks really nice paul. Did you port your box? I wonder if porting the box would help move the hot air and cool the plate amp more efficiently... The Elemental Designs LT300 plate amp looks with the X15 looks like an affordable solution I may consider. |

That's pretty much exactly what I was going to say. These are very solid SQ subs at great prices. |
