Hey guys. I've been thinking about this for a long time and it's been bugging me. Anyway, I have a 12" Fi Q in a 2.5 Cuft ported box after displacement tuned 32hz getting a solid 1000 watts and, first I have to say it's an amazing sub, but I've been thinking about replacing it with a 15" IXL. What I'm looking for is to keep the excellent sound quality my Q has which I think the IXL would do very well, but also I want to have the ability of getting much louder than my Q if one day I decide to turn it up or demo or something. What I was thinking of was if I got one, I would put it in a 4 Cuft ported box but I don't know if that is too big or not since the recommended size on the website is around 3 Cuft ported. What I also really want is to have very good lows. Lows as in mid to high 20hz's and up. The car, or SUV I mean, is a Chevy Trailblazer. I want to try something new and different and I think the IXL will be just that. The sub just looks amazing by the way, I love how the cone is just plain black with nothing on it. I just don't know if its worth it or not to switch over . This may be a dumb question to some but I just want an answer from the pros. Like I said its been bothering me for a while. So, what do you guys think?

Yeah. I bet that's a killer sub. I was thinking probably 220 or 230 or something like that. It doesn't have the BP power option and its a dual 2. I'm just hoping to get almost my all my money back for it but I doubt that will happen since I bought the sub before the prices went down. It has never been abused and the sub looks like it's brand new.

I have a Planet Audio RXD1000. Mine came with a birthsheet that says mine does 1002 watts at 1 ohm and 754 watts at 2. I was thinking about getting another Q but then I would have only 754 watts to give to them. Then if I decided to get a new amp, I would have to get a whole new alternator, possibly two new batteries, and newer thicker wiring and all that which could get expensive. That is why I was thinking about possibly selling the Q to get something different on the same amp.

Hmm...I guess yeah. I am willing to try it out. I would just have to sell my Q first. Does anyone have something else to say or something?

Did you happen to get any more videos of that prototype 12?

Thanks for the welcome and compliment!

Hey whats up guys I just registered a few days ago but I finally decided to make my first post. Well I'm 16 years old and I drive a 04 Chevy Trailblazer. I dont have much done to it at all. So far this is my current setup: Headunit: Pioneer DEH-P980BT Speakers: some ok Pioneer 6.5's my cousin gave to me for free. They aren't that great but they sound way better than my stock ones anyway. I'm saving up for a better front stage though. Sub: 12" Fi Q in a ported box i made that is 2.5 cuft^3 after displacement tuned to 32hz. But since its my first box I have ever made I dont know if it really is lol. I'll try to get pics of it tomorrow though. Amp: Right now my sub is powered by a Planet Audio RXD1000 or something like that. Yeah its kinda cheap but it came with a birthsheet that says it does 1002 watts rms at like 13 volts I think plus I'm only 16 so I kinda don't really have a lot of money to begin with. I'm still debating whether I should upgrade this amp later or just keep it since I have not had any problems with it for the 4-5 months I've had it. I will probably upgrade it after I upgrade my whole front stage. Thats pretty much it really. Its my first setup ever. By the way I REALLY love the Q. It has great sound quality. The output amazing too especially for a single 12". I have a video but I don't think its all that great though. The camera didn't pick up alot of the movement. I'll post it up anyways. I normally don't listen to rap but I like this song. Well, its a start! I hope to improve it sometime in the future! By the way don't expect me to ask questions that have already been posted. I ALWAYS search before anything.

Haha you know man! Thanks

Hey thanks man!

Did you mean way instead of was?? If that's what you really meant then yes that's kinda true. I tend to do a lot of research on things I'm interested in lol. Yeah, thanks! Its a good quality man, try to keep it! Haha no problem. I had to reread it like 3 times lol. Oh and thanks I'll try my best man! Yeah!! Nice Lincoln btw. I like Towncars.

Haha thanks man it is very nice! Especially from a single 12". I would recommend some Second Skin though. Ya know that metal absorbs the sound waves and vibrates and flexes, and that is a BIG waste of energy. Yeah I know sound deadening is on my to do list. I usually never have it up that loud though so its not a HUGE problem. But I do need some I'm not gonna lie. I figured you already knew, I'm just recommending Second Skin Damplifier Pro for your deadening needs Yeah I knew lol. I did tons of research here before i started everything to get an idea of what I need to do. Oh and thanks I will keep that in mind Hey thanks man.
