Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5051 Registered: Jul-06 | Fi Q=SQ. I'd say it's far from an SQL sub... |

Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5224 Registered: Feb-06 | x2^ i think anyone that has actually heard a q would agree it's a nice sql sub. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 65 Registered: Aug-06 | joey i already have a jl 1000/1... I figure the sx will get louder with 1k. With the bp power option i guess can increase the output of the q above that of the sx, if i get me another amp... i also looked at the btl, but im really into sql.. would the btl retain good sq... or is it a pure spl driver... |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 66 Registered: Aug-06 | i tried the 13w7. Excellent sq, but not loud enough...thats why i want a single 15 with sq just as clean as the jl or better...and plenty loud... the dd was great but the sq was no where near the jl or idmax.... so far the id max was the best, but i had tinsel lead knocking and its being repaired.... so until the v4 is out i need an sql driver 1000-1500 rms |

Gold Member Username: Mike11202DD9515G VFL 200.1 = : , Sewell, NJ US Post Number: 1034 Registered: Nov-06 | 700rms you can run it anywhere from 600-1200rms with ease |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5052 Registered: Jul-06 | Wow....you guys actually think a Fi Q should be classed as an SQL sub?So DD 9515s,RE XXXs and Eclipse Ti Pros must be all out SPL subs right?C'mon guys...get with it.The Fi Q is not a real SQL sub.It's an SQ sub and you know it. |

Gold Member Username: 420alldaylongPost Number: 2656 Registered: Sep-06 | Thank you Rob.^^^^^^^^^^ |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1863 Registered: Jun-06 | To me the Q is a SQL sub. I've never heard a DD 9515, XXX or Ti Pro but I dont doubt them as SQL subs. But out of every setup that I've had, these are by far the cleanest sounding and loudest...so I guess thats why I say SQL. I admit I havent ran that many diff subs. The only subs I have to compare against are, (2) JL w3 12's, 1 TypeR 15", 2 Audiobahn aw1005n 10's, 2 CVX 12's, 2 SD2.5 12's and now I'm running the 2 Q 15's. When I thought of SQL...how my system sounds, is pretty much what I imagined it to be. |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1864 Registered: Jun-06 | Joey, what exactly do you run anyway? What subs/systems have you owned? Not being an azz right now..just wondering. |
|
Gold Member Username: CtmikeCt. Post Number: 5225 Registered: Feb-06 | i say a q is more an sql sub cause i consider an sq sub more along the lines of the w6, the focal subs i've heard, id/idqs', etc. just cause it wont have the output of the subs you mentioned doesn't mean it can't be thought of as a sql sub. a l7 is a spl sub, but so is the btl even thought the btl will easily take it in output, both are spl. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 68 Registered: Aug-06 | Thanks guys, for attempting to categorize the q.. but i guess its application may determine whether its used for sq or sql..(just my opinion) I checked out the site joey... the sub looks pretty sturdy... The resonant frequency looks kinda high...33.97hz and the Qts could a been a tad bit lower given the published fs value. I like a sub with potential to get really low while maintaining loudness. Then again who am i to critize the engineering... im leaning more towards the sx though... if its not noticeably louder than the w7 i may try the alpha.... thanks again |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1872 Registered: Jun-06 | Hurricane Br1an, do you have both the cvx and your classics in your ride together? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Hurricanebr1anWestern Burbs of Chicago, IL Usa Post Number: 71 Registered: Sep-07 | no...not sure how i'd swing that... on a good day i get 600wrms from my sh1t amp so i go either or...saving money for next summer when when i'll invest into a good sql setup. rite now though basically all i've run for the last month are the classics and i'll probly keep it that way thru the winter. |

Gold Member Username: Naledge503Http://com4.runboard.c... Post Number: 1873 Registered: Jun-06 | I'd keep running the classics too. I was just confused by how you had your profile worded. |

Bronze Member Username: DeadrabitPost Number: 88 Registered: Jun-07 | if u have a 1000/1 go with a FI BL. |
|
Silver Member Username: TejcurrentPost Number: 591 Registered: Apr-07 | The Q can get decently loud while maintaning great sq. It is a SQ driver that can get pretty loud. Most people like the Q more and more as it has time to break in. |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5058 Registered: Jul-06 | "if u have a 1000/1 go with a FI BL." A Q would probably be louder with only 1000 watts RMS assuming the suspension the woofer that is purchased has a more loose suspension.Oh and don't forget about efficiency. |
|
Silver Member Username: DenimWww.TeamSSAudio.com, MD Post Number: 468 Registered: Nov-06 | The Q is the more versatile sub and better value then the SX. Not to mention the clarity will be superior. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 69 Registered: Aug-06 | demin or troy... with a much greater cone area the Q should be louder.... but how would the q compare with the w7 in terms of quality.... i Have heard good things about the si mag, but i need a sub with a greater power handling.... |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 70 Registered: Aug-06 | Rob... i didnt really wanna use DD in this setup but does your 3515's retain good sq |
|
Gold Member Username: JkidderIA, DP RD Post Number: 1999 Registered: Nov-05 | mags can handle 1.5k daily if your not a retard about playing it. they test their subs at full excursion for 15 mins on 2.8k before its even allowed to be considered for production. |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5064 Registered: Jul-06 | "Rob... i didnt really wanna use DD in this setup but does your 3515's retain good sq" Yea,they sound good in a 16 Cu ft(4 cuFt per sub) box tuned to 40 until my vehicle rattles like a b1tch  As long as I don't turn it up too much they sound pretty damn good.If I sound deadened everything and eliminated all rattles in the vehicle it would be very good sounding.I'd like to hear my subs in a box tuned to 28-32 hz,that'd probably be sick. |

Silver Member Username: KillswitchjdPost Number: 678 Registered: Apr-06 | cost a factor? well, then FI wins right? |

Platinum Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 12885 Registered: Jul-05 | The Q is a sql sub..and a TI Pro has really sh!tty sq.... dude get the Q for the price no sub i can think of can fu#k with it |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 5072 Registered: Jul-06 | Eh...since everyone recommends em...go ahead and jump on the Fi d1ck.It's funny how these threads always go.It has been mentioned so many times how you guys always recommend the bo/\/er sub.Where's Renegadesrun to rant and rave when you need him? |
|
Gold Member Username: Livin_loudDo Work Fi Audio Post Number: 1863 Registered: Jan-06 | just because the Q doesn't get as loud as some other SQL subs doesn't mean it can't be categorized as one. I have by far the cleanest sounding bass in my town, and its also louder than 95% of peoples around here. guy named bob with a suburban has 2kw goin to 2 MA 15's, but i still drop lower |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassASU Post Number: 1975 Registered: Jul-05 | AA havoc? SS RLp? SI mag? id take all of those over an SX or FI q. just papas 2 cents |
|
Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind-apem Post Number: 15305 Registered: Oct-05 | why not the rl-s jake? |
|
Silver Member Username: DenimWww.TeamSSAudio.com, MD Post Number: 470 Registered: Nov-06 | The Havoc is ratted to take more power then the Q. As for comparing the Q to the W7 in quality, they are both very wel built subs, you get more performance per dollar with the Q. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 71 Registered: Aug-06 | my considering the Q is not based on popularity or jumping on any bandwagon... I have thoroughly checked the specs and it seems like a great buy for the price ( not that the price is the main factor)... The thread was only to get opinion and feedback as i've neither heard a fi, SX nor Mag Despite the fact that the hype is slowly shifting toward these newly established companies....i'd prefer stick with brands that have already established a good reputation and offer exceptional products... Joey, 503, Rob, mike, glove, jk, reece, hurricane, lucas, troy , demin ,nate, chauncey, eric, jake and Chad I have recieved excellent feedback from the forum, and i did feel very accomodated, i'd really must thank you guys... your combined imput has been very helpful.... Hey chad (i do hope i'll get around to trying a single rl-s since that sub and the w7's have a few things in common, like the 3 ohm SVC configuration... I think im gonna begin with the Q & the BP option and work my way through the others suggested as each sub is special in its own way ...lol i'll try posting some pictures as soon as i can.... |
|
Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassASU Post Number: 1976 Registered: Jul-05 | chad, the RL-s is way outta all the others league, haha. have u stepped ur game up yet and added another one? i sure hope so. sean, no matter what you choose ull be happy. all of the subs mentioned in this thread are great choices. concentrate more on box design and post alot of pics when its done. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveA pic is worth 1000 posts!! Post Number: 10283 Registered: Jun-06 | I've owned both the Q and Mag and can't complain about either. I've been saying that SI reeeeeally needs to produce an 18" Mag lol. Just for me. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassASU Post Number: 1978 Registered: Jul-05 | i agree 100% paul. |

Silver Member Username: DenimWww.TeamSSAudio.com, MD Post Number: 471 Registered: Nov-06 | Sean, if it helps, the man that did the RE line of subs, is behind the Fi and Ascendant line. |
|
Bronze Member Username: TreezPost Number: 72 Registered: Aug-06 | thanks for the info |

Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 6243 Registered: Jul-06 | paul, i hear they are considering making an 18" MAG with the new line.... |
