Is something like the Art Cleanbox what you're lookin for?> Wow this post is old...

I have one of those powering my FI Q in a LLT box. it does an amazing job at serving up power and handling heat. I replaced the fan with a less cfm panaflo fan and during movies like LOTR it gets really really hot, but never failed me at all. If the regular fan was in there i would think it would never get even warm.

might i suggest a EP2500 for the Q. its what i am running my 15" Q off and i really like it, allot. especially for the price, check ebay. I really really like NHT speakers, maybe a bit out of you're price range but their classic zeros and the threes are amazing. just give them a good amount of power. And they are beautiful, the piano black is so sexy. for $500 for 5.1 i would get a $250 reciever (marantz, denon) and then spend the rest on some JBL or something speakers you can get cheap. or wait for more cash and get what you really want. One thing i must say is to listen to the speakers before you buy (except cheaper stuff, JBL all klipsch basically sounds the same just higher levels get louder and clearer). If you can listen to them in you're house before buying as the location of the speaker can make a huge impact on how it sounds.

that was my temp setup, the center is now on top of the box, yes i know not perfect but thats what happens when you dont have a dedicated room for theater. I have my EP2500 bridged at 2 ohms, not supposed to as min is 4 Ohms ooo well it works. bridged 2 ohms is 1100 real watts, someone tested it. bridged at 4 ohms it does a real 1900watts. not sure about the whole below Fs tuning, but mine is pretty amazing at 12hz especially in master and commander and war of the worlds.

I was aiming for a tune of 15 but alas once built it very much favors ~12. this thing is amazing for movies, awesome for music. Thanks for the info, i am sure this sub will last me quite a while. http://www.ccdoggy.net/temp/P1010121.JPG its cleaner then that right now, camera really likes to pick up everything.

So i am using my 15" Q for a home theater sub, 12cuft tuned to ~12hz or so. It is a monster on only 1000 watts. Through reading allot on subs and linear tech im wondering how the Q's coil is setup, underhung/overhung, any linear tech, shorting ring, and if there is anything special about it? Im more or less wanting to compare what i am listening to and what its tech is compared to what some people are using. I have to say though that the Q in my enclosure is a pretty amazing experience. just need to get maybe another 500 watts to it and some way of keeping my house's voltage stable. thanks!
