Which setup should i go with?

[boalova13 0]

Hello i currently have a 18" bl in a ~7ft^3 box tuned to 32hz powered by a jl 1000/1. Now it's loud but i'm still looking for more. I'm trying to stick to using an 18" or a pair because i was very impressed. My question is would you guys recommend getting a pair of q's with ~2500rms or a fully loaded btl with ~2500rms. Or my other alternative is selling my amp and getting ~2000rms for the bl and ill set the gains where it'll see around 1500. \

What do you guys recommend? thanks

If you have the room the Q's have much more music output potential..

Thanks!

I mainly listen to rap but i ocassionally listen to other types of music. How are the q's in terms of spl? How would you compare a pair of q's with roughly 2500 watts as opposed to a btl with the same power? thanks for your help

I am but i originally bought it with the intent to add a second. So i got a dual 1 ohm voice coil. Well i cant fit a second unless i go sealed so i dont know if i want to switch up now, it's not going to be horribly expensive if i do, and i've already performed the electrical upgrades so why not. I figure it'll go good with the 22's lol. I'm just not sure if i want to go with 2 q's or a btl

well, i think you will get a great sound out of a sundown saz 1500d at a half ohm,

either way,

you can sell that one you have, and pick up 2 15's bls, with a sundown saz 3000d and that will wet your wistle

Bringing this back to see if i can get anymore opinions. I should be ordering in a week or so. Also the amp I'm going to be using is a saz3000d. What do you guys think? thanks

No where can i find them? And I haven't got around to making any, im waiting on a recone because one of my tinsel leads broke or i'd make some. Ill probably just wait till i get the new setup since it should only be around a month.

If you want to see what a pair of Qs can do, go to youtube and find the user SPLexplorer, he's got a lot of vids from different setups. He's got 1 Q in some vids, then a pair of Q 18s in another, and i think he recently got 2 bls.

Btw, is anyone on here splexplorer? lol
