fi q or bl?

Recommended Posts

I'm constantly debating this. I know they are two completely different drivers, but bare with me.

To my understanding, the fi q is meant for serious sq setups. I've also heard that you haven't heard lows until you get one of these.

And as the website says, the bl is supposed to fill the gap between the q and the btl.

Now, I listen to a lot of rap, and the lowest notes I'd go for are on things like White Girl. and Put on, and similar. I know that classical has ridiculous lows, but I just don't know if I need that.

I like to have my music loud, and I prefer the bass to be felt in my chest. (Don't worry, I'm considerate of others on the road) I usually have my volume pretty high also. I like clean lows, but rap lows, not super lows. I'm starting to think the bl would be for me, but I really don't know if I would be upping electrical right away, or getting a new amp. As of now, I have a 2ohm 1000w kicker mono block. Although I'm seriously thinking about getting a new amp. Possibly sundown?

Again, I know they're two different drivers, and no one else can tell me what I want, but input is always nice =)

Budget is right around both subs, and my music preference is rap. If I listen to anything else, I usually turn down the bass, or there's not much bass to begin with.

All this said, I'm also debating icon or xcon.

I'm such an indecisive guy

From what i understand from lots and lots of research the BL is what your looking for,,,everything you said i like in my sub and thats why i orderd the BL 18 last night lol,,,,im not sure the Q can compare to the BL line and i think the more cone surface the lower the notes so i would go with a 15 or 18 BL =) it also depends on the size of your box.

Well, I'm going for a 15 most likely due to trunk space, and I'm building a new box for whichever I choose.

Congrats on ordering it though! =)
