First Impressions. Whoah.

Recommended Posts

Whoah. I mean, whoah. My Fi Q showed up today and I'm in awe of this sucker. It's built like a tank! I've been through quite a few subs and I think this single 12" might end up putting my two Phoenix Gold RSDc 12"s to shame. My main goal was to reduce weight in the back of my Scion Tc trunk while still maintaining some heavy punch. Here's some eye candy, including the custom 1.3 cu ft Fisher box I had built especially for this little monster. I can't wait to get it mounted and broken in. Thanks Fi!

Once I get it up and running, I'll definitely let you know. Right now, I've got the RSDc subs running off a PG Tantrum 1200.1 and I have to admit, they sound pretty damn good. I've had them in my current install for about 6 months now and their detail still continues to amaze me. However, all that weight...They're in a 2.6 cu ft sealed box with a double baffle. My rear shocks hate me...

Very nice, get a vid up when you get it in.

Can't wait for my Qs this summer.

Trust em, your rear suspension is not hating you, :)

I own a scion tc with 156lbs of battery, 97lbs of subwoofers and 110lbs of box with 32 lbs of sound deadening and 28 lbs of amps.

My rear end wheel well is almost even with the top of my rear tires.

I will be rebuilding and moving the system into the back seat area because nobody can sit back there anyway because of so much weight.

If you've got that much weight why don't you get some stiffer springs in the back

tc requires coil overs only or air ride.

air ride= $5,000

coil overs = $1,500

better option- move the majority of the weight to the rear cabin area to distribute the weight better. Cost = free.

A fellow Tc owner! Nice. Too bad it wouldn't be as easy as just getting new springs. But hey, at least this is an excuse to get a Fi sub haha. Not like I really needed one. Here's some pics of my install if you guys are bored on a Friday.

I finally got the Q sub bolted down and in the back of my Scion Tc. Even though it's still going to take awhile to break in, I can already tell a difference over the two PG RSDc subs I had in there. I've actually got even MORE detail now and the bottom end is even more authorative. I was expecting to have to take a loss there, going from two subs to one. Not even! Another bonus is losing about 45 extra pounds from the trunk. I can't wait until she's properly broken in, then I'll get some vids up for you guys. Very, very pleased so far.
