So I am starting to plan out my first system and have done some research and found fi. Looks like really nice stuff. I am looking at putting a Q10 in my 95' s10 extended cab. Probably in a sealed box after reading other news about the q series. how big do you think this should be? I thinking about pairing it with a sundown amp but was wondering if there was anything comparable for a little less cash. Also, how much upgrading will i have to do to my electrical system? Big three is going to happen soon, but what about a yellow top battery or anything like that? Thanks a lot.

A Q 10 in a .5 cube sealed box paired with a Sundown SAE-1000D would be an awesome combo.

Well that is good to hear! A couple more questions, will one 10'' fi be louder than my friends to 12'' kenwoods? I am sure that it will sound better, but i kinda what to be louder than him. Also, what is "BP power" when selecting options for a sub?

without putting both enclosures on a meter you really can't say which is going to be louder. Being that he has a pair of 12's, that means more surface area so it should produce higher levels, but thats also assuming his are also in a sealed box with the same power as you. There are a lot of variables that increase or decrease sound pressure levels.

x2, can you give us more specific details as to exactly what model kenwoods your friend has and how much power/what amp he has..and enclosure details is it sealed or porte?.....as spl blazer said, there are a lot of variables
