Couple QUICK Questions

[vanquish 0]

Ok here it goes the two subs are

(15 BL, Daily, dual 2)

vs

(15 Q, Daily, Dual 2)

1. Both are suggested to run 1000 RMS so how much more power can the BL safely run vs the Q?

The only options i can actually add to the BL for daily are:

- Cooling option

- Universal

- Flatwind (is this even necessary for a daily driver?)

2. Can i safely run 1500 RMS on the BL

3. If the Q is a SQ sub, am i going to lose that SQ and get distortion from the BL ??

If anyone has AIM and doesn't mind talking to me on there i would appreciate it greatly thanks

You will get better info and response if you actually state your goals.

You can use 3000w on either...but only if you do it intelligently, if it strains you better not push it. I regularly use an amplifier rated for more than the drivers can take, but setting your gains well and being careful will make it fine. If you truly want to throw that much power on them blindly, perhaps you should buy a sub that is meant to take it.

Distortion isn't really what is meant by the SQ term here, but frequency resposne.

i just responded to your IM lost. just as i said you must give info on what you want in a sub also what your goals are in an audio system.

one of the biggest things that stands on in the Q and the BL are that you can run a Q in a sealed encloser. the BL you should not. your also able to to bettel control your sub with tha potions. also with the BL you can choose to have your configuration change like if you only buy one sub now. your get a dual 2..... then later you decide you want a second sub.. you can have your first sub reconed with a dual 1 VC. to change your OHM load with the universal option on the BL o yeah.. i throw gobs of power at my BL's...... im not sure if i would send the same power to a Q... not that it could not handle it.. .but in my eyes... the Q is like a shy pretty lady you kiss after dinner..... the BL is a chick that you buy a few drinks and take her to your place and pound her. and well the BTL is like a batchalor party stripper... let your friends beat it up too........ im so stoned.

.

edit.. my BLs arent SQ.... and... i like it that way. so if your looking for somthing to play classical music on.. or maybe even some rast responsive rock i would tell you that the BL is not for you... but if you wanna piss people off and have a hard time breathing in your car get a few bls and some POWER>

Thanks for the responses guys that helps alot.

Lets see I have:

04 Honda Accord Sedan with trunk space dimension about L36 x W36x H18

Music: Rap/R&B

Looking for: Daily Driver setup

SUB: leaning towards 15" BL (Fully loaded) (Dual 2, Flatwind, Cooling, Universal)

Box: Obviously ported but need alot of help in this area (clueless in this area)

AMP: undecided something with about 1500-2000 RMS

I just want something that sounds good and i can POUND when i want to crank up the volume.. like most people that listen to rap i love the beats.

brb...

sounds good, i say sundown saz 1500d . ... but you know that you will have to do alot more work. you must do the big three. get some 0 gauge, maybe a h/o alt. and another batt.

You want the BL

You want the BL

Yeah I'm pretty set on the BL right about now.

BigJon are all those necessary like the extra battery, etc....?

by the way i have a oem stock stereo, upgrading to a deck would be best right? SQ wise

well sq wise, for subs you have more control with a after market H/u, and you will have a little better sound yes. i allways say get a better h/u

as far as the upgreads yeah most of them are... see if you can find out what size alt you have OEM.

and then you can go from there..

heres the thing. if you underpower an amp, you have have problems... somthing like clipping, you will run a underpowered amp HOT... and hot is bad.... and in some cases if an amp dips below 11 volts it can fry or even burst into flames. but the biggest reason for the upgreads is to protect your investment... you start clipping that amp and its gonna clip that sub,... and then your gonna buy a recone for your bl. and maybe a new amp... save some money.. do the big three no doubt, do a run of 0 gauge to the rear... depending on the size of your alt. you may be able to get away with just getting a badass batt under your hood.

i allways worry about not having enough power. just cause i like knowing that i have a strong back bone to my audio.... my bass that is haha

some people will corect some of the statments that i just made, and thats the great thing about a fourm, you can allways learn more form others.
