Question about FIQ 12

[crimson229 0]

I'm thinking of getting one Q12 and powering it with a Kicker ZX1000.1 at 2ohms. I listen to mostly rap music and I'm looking for a sub that will give me accurate bass and can also give me great high and low bass. I hear the Q is great on low bass but I was wondering how is it at high bass? I know that getting a set of 10's would probably give me better high bass, but I'm looking for something that will give me a good mix of both.

Two 10's will not give you more "high" bass than, lets say an 18".

I'm looking for a good mix of both low and high bass. I have heard some 12 subs that were great on low bass but really sucked on high bass and I was wondering how well the Q handles both.

That will depend on your amp settings.

A sealed box will have a good response, but what type of music are you listening?

Are the Havoc's more of a SQ sub like the Qs? That link in your above post is great.

It also depends on your definition of "high bass." What frequencies is that? 60, 80, 100 hz? IMO, a sub shouldn't be crossed over above 80 hz. If your system is lacking in the region anywhere between 75 and 200 hz, you need to address your mids because they aren't up to snuff.
