Fi SSD 15 vs. RE Audio SE 15

[wof131s 10]

I just want to know which is the better sub, i think i know the answer but would like some other ppl opinion. Thanks

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

i havent heard either one but i head the se does work

[wof131s 10]

Is there anyone else that as seen both subs in action and have an opinion on which is better?

[johnecon2001 82]

I believe Nick has said the SE is basically the SSD with a copper coil.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

SSD can be optioned up to your install.

[Fi Car Audio 64]

SSD is much closer to the SX in terms of motor. SE is a decent drop in motor strength and a smaller OD.

SSD with flatwind is very similar to the SX. SSD with the copper coil is very akin to the older HC model in sound.

Thanks,

So which RE Audio sub would be compared to the FI Q Scott?

[Fi Car Audio 64]

None really. The Q is somewhat similar in linearity to the older XXX, although distinctly different sounds between the sterile XBL enable XXX and the fuller sounding Q. Initially we had several people swap and do write ups on it.

Thanks,

I think the Q is the closest model to those.

so SEs arent a bad choice? i always see pairs or 15s on ebay for 300 all day i was going to get those or SSDs but thats closer to 500 bucks, i have 2 tma 1000 watt amps so 1000 to each sub on SEs will be loud?

[wof131s 10]

i had a pair of 12 se's but want suming that i wouldnt wanna upgrade very soon. So i think i will go with 2 Q's in a ext. cab Dakota. Should be loud enough.

[Fi Car Audio 64]

I know the SEs well, lol. They are a solid sub within their limits. The SSD is definitely more of a sub than the SE in all aspects, but for $300 a pair its hard to beat. Since I sold RE I know they moved SE production to China so I cant comment on the parts used now, but I do like the design

Thanks,

Scott

Listen, he has very extensive knowledge when your talking subs

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

so, ifi replaced my buddys se's with ssd's thre wont be much or a differnt, or would you even notice it?

[ford302redneck 15]

There would be some difference, as there not the same subs.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

yeah but my friend is asking to get louder and i was thinkking the ssd, but would it make a big enough differance to spend the money on them when he alrady has the se

It sounds like it would be like getting the SX from RE then.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

iknow but i am just asking from expierance does anyone know if its work the money to change

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

would it be worht spending anouther 500 dollars the get the ssd's

[Solid_State13 1]

before you go spend 500 bucks, why not mess around with the enclosure?

[wof131s 10]

If i were you, i would go with the SSD's. U wouldnt de dissapointed. If thats what u really want then get them, even if u have to save up to get them. BUT THATS JUST ME.

the install is the most important part in a system so id look into doing a new box. from exsperience with an ex cab dakota they suck to get loud and peak is at 41 or 42hz its varied with boxes.
