It has begun...

I decided to change the "sub-stage" in my truck from that single 15" in that ported enclosure that just never seemed to sound right to two Fi Q 12" in a dual chambered sealed enclosure. The enclosure has about 1.5ft^3 per chamber. The two subwoofers are without the BP option and are being powered by an AQ2200d amplifier.(2200watts@1-Ohms). Hopefully sending each Q with around 1100watts. The subwoofers are DVC 1-Ohm, wired in series to 2-Ohms per subwoofer and bringing a 1-Ohm load on the amplifier. The first Fi Q 12" has been bought and so has the AQ2200d. I plan to order the second Fi Q in a week.

What influenced my decision for this subwoofer stage:

1. The Q's performance in sealed enclosures.

2. The two subwoofer distributed inside the cab should even out the amount of bass experienced on both the passenger and the driver side.

3. The smaller sealed box should provide more leg room then the previous huge ported box.

4. The Q's ability to get real loud and sound real good, also their notorious low end.

5. The AQ2200D does rated power, good backing on this amplifier.

6. The AQ2200D is used, but only 10hrs of run time, the seller is selling it due to downgrading his setup to put the backseats back into his ride and guarantees its functionality.

I've been sorta deemed as an extremely unlucky person in car audio but I'm hoping things will shape up with this setup.

My previous setup was a 15" Fi Q Dvc 2, in a 3.35ft^3 box tuned to 34hz. There may have been a design issue with the port in relation to the box and subwoofer which may have caused problems. It was also powered by a Hifonics Bxi1606d.
