What Would You Pick?

[Pezzaboi 0]

If you had to pick out of these few set ups, which one would you pick?

1) Fi Q 12" No BP SAE-1000d (Best Box for this?)

2) Fi Q 12" With BP SAZ-1500d (Best Box for this?)

3) AA Havoc 12" SAZ-1500d (Best Box for this?)

4) AA Havoc 12" RF 1500-1BD (Best Box for this?)

I'm saving for my first car now and just want to get a nice system put in, budget is ok lower the better obv but dont want to buy some crap. I'm looking at a Corsa 1.2 SXi Twinport for the car. I'm looking for more of a SQ set up rather than SPL, but as you know everyone still wants it loud. So there you go!

All help is very much appreciated

Thanks, Pez

but as you know everyone still wants it loud.

Eh, not really...

I'd pick the first option in a sealed enclosure.

I'd personally take option 3. But you could save quite a bit of money by doing what Jim said.

Option 1 seems to be the best to me.

Ported: 2.5 cuft tuned to 32-35hz. (whichever you like best)

Sealed 1-1.5cuft. With some polypill if you like.

1 cuft seems very small "D

Will a 1-1.5 cuft sealed box still have some loudness and hit the low notes? JW

Thanks a bunch

[JimJ 11]

Yes.

3) AA Havoc 12" SAZ-1500d (Best Box for this?)

either/or

put the Q in a 2.25-2.5cuft box tuned to 32ish and u'll love it

I would also prefer the 1st option. I vote start in a sealed enlcosure on the larger side of the spectrum with some stuffing. Then, once the sub woofer is fully broken in, decide if you like the sound and output.

I'd agree 1000%. Sort of an oxymoron to ask for loud and SQ...unless of course you have something really hidden up your sleeve in your front stage.

well i mean i've not had first hand experience with these, i just want to be able to feel some thump behind me

i dont mean loud for streetbass wars enough to get a nice vibration

Vid's don't show you anything. A sealed box by default will have more cone motion than a ported enclosure.

I could make this easier. Define what you want but DON'T use terms like SQ or SPL just put things in your own words. Currently you are mixing up terminology and asking for dire opposites.

i see where you are coming from i know you cant have both!

i didnt explain very well, i want SQ because im gunna be playing music a lot in my car but i dont really want to let the whole street know. But i want to know if you will definatly feel the bass otherwise i may be changing my option

you can not tune a sealed box? so didnt know if it will hit say 32 Hz

what RMS them 8's runnin at? looks good enough for me, be able to hear that nicly

#2 if money isn't an issue with a sealed enclosure. That way you have extra power if you really want to turn up your volume. If not...

I'd pick the first option in a sealed enclosure.

Depends on your definition of feel the bass, if you can hear your sub it isn't an SQ setup. It should seamlessly blend with the rest.

Option 2 or 3 with a low tuned ported enclosure. I think your really just wanting it to sound good and be able to get louder when you want. I don't think your really wanting sq that much. Correct me if i am wrong but i think you want to be able to listen to music and still be able to hear your mids and highs as well as louder than normal bass.

[Pezzaboi 0]

Hmmm i think maybe cman is right,, Ported is for me

so what 2.5 cuft 30 Hz?

Just a quickie... I don't actually know about the SAZ because im from the UK so will be a pain getting it here

What do you think of this?
