Heres what happened. I sold the Q's and enclosure yesterday to the guy. It sounded damn nice in his jeep too. He just bought the jeep last Thursday btw. He said he went to sleep and got woke up to see this.... The Q's baskets sitting in the enclosure... The amp is leaning against the enclosure... I guess the firefighters said that the fire started from a faulty rear dome light. I feel so bad for him. The amp was actually mine. I let him borrow it until his AQ2200d gets here on the 10th. He's giving me the AQ2200d when it gets here. I feel so bad for the guy. Heres the original thread. http://forum.ecoustics.com/bbs/messages/4/491237.html

I will try to get vids up ASAP.

I got the enclosure today!! Thanks again BJ. Its great as usual. I will have install pics by tomorrow, and maybe a vid.

I love it. Thats exactly how I visioned it, looks great. Thanks again BJ!

I owned a pair of the older 2.5's a couple of years ago, cant wait to compare. I'm sure they will take some good power as the older 2.5's did. I actually would have been running 2-3 of the older 2.5's if the subs that I bought from a member on CA.com had all came unbroken. But they did come broken and now I will be running the sdc2.5's instead.

Awesomeness!! I cant wait to get everything in. Thanks again BJ. This is my 2nd enclosure from BJ. The first is the "Fireproof box" lol. Great guy to talk to. Great CS and build quality as usual. System is in my sig.

Happy Birfday.

Wow, this has been an excellent read for me so far. Thanks guys.

Here's a couple more pics.

I guess I was unclear in my initial post, cause that is exactly what I was trying to say lol.

While that is true and makes sense, I was saying that people try to make up for the lack of power they have by turning the gain or bb or subwoofer level on the H/U. I always understood that this can cause clipping as well. Have I been mislead the whole time. It takes power to make power. Example, Say I am running an amp that calls for 200A but my alt and electrical is only to supply it with 95A, I am only going to get so much power out of my amp. Now if I try to make up for that lack of power by turning up the gain, bb, or sub level, I can cause the amp to clip. Right?

not generally the case. An amp with an unregulated power supply will just put out less power with a lower input voltage. An amp with a regulated power supply will pull more current as the voltage drops so that it can keep the output power the same. Clipping generally occurs on the signal side of the equation, when the input voltage from the HU is higher than the amp's gain setting. So you dont think by dialing up the gain, bb, or subwoofer level to make up for power that you cant make doesnt cause a clipped signal? So we should all run stock electrical no matter how big of a "system" we have and just max out the gain and BB? Cause thats not the signal coming in. I'm trying to understand...

Its about clipping and pushing the driver beyond its thermal limits. People turn their gain, bb and subwoofer setting hoping to get the loudness they are looking for. When you dont have the Electrical to back up that much power, the amp is trying to produce power that it cant make...clipping.

He says they are, so we shall see. I know there are a lot of different types of coverage. And they vary from state to state too. I hope they help him out. lol....so true.

**accidently double posted. Dont know how to delete the post.

I sold the Q's and the enclosure to the guy who owns/owned the jeep yesterday. He just bought the jeep last Thursday. He was borrowing my amp, so he is giving me an AQ2200D that he ordered a couple of days ago and is supposed to be here on the 10th. He said that the firefighter told him that it started from faulty wiring in the rear dome light. I guess the asphalt melted too but the enclosure was still in one piece lol.

I believe so. I've got most receipts for him. The only one I dont have happens to be for the Q's. I emailed Scott and Nick and hopefully they can help me out on their end. I bought the Q's in November 06' so we will see.

Nice Cam! You just helped me decide on what mid drivers I am going with. Going to pair them up with my CDT DRT-25's.

Its probably been stated in here but I didnt want to read the whole thread. I'm gonna say Honda B series engines. Very customizable, already good power for a stock engine on a 1.4-1.6l engines and will last for around 300,000 miles or more.

This is a very good move for both parties. I might have to give up my Q 15's sealed in the teg for this....we'll see.

Welcome you guys! I have actually purchased an enclosure from BJ. Great CS, and product at an awesome price. Good to see here on SSA!

Thanks but I cant take the credit on the enclosure. BJ Fisher made it. I dont have the tools. He has great prices and does great work, cant beat that. It was cheaper to have him build it and ship it than to have a shop here make it. Ya u def do need some tools to do it me and ronrico have been building away and even without one tool it makes it kinda difficult as we have found out. just out of curiosity how much was it? pm sent.

I have a pair of Q 15's that I have had since november 2006. I had them in my old 89' Range Rover in 8Cubes tuned to 30Hz. I loved them like that. Well I just got a 1995 Integra hatchback. I have them sealed 5.1cubes after disp. and WOW. I thought they were a nice driver before but being sealed they are on a whole other level. I just cant describe it. The bass is so accurate, smooth, and beautiful sounding. It just sounds 'solid'. They play lower and also hit the higher frequencies better. They play so much flatter (not peaky). Being in the hatchback, they are also louder to my ear and definitely moves more air. Here are a few vids of them in the Teg. There are also vids of them in the Range Rover on my youtube if you want to check them out. zHSA3rBRd48 3FiJhkVRzks FuBbyD2geCg

Cool man. I hear ya on the youtube quality. What size enclosure? Is it ported/sealed? If ported, whats the tuning? and What car is that?
