10" BL vs 10" Q

[jimbo930 0]

Hey guys, i was wondering if you could provide some assistance with my decision between the two subs mentioned. The subs would be used for daily driving and i would be using a box around the 2 cubes range, probably tuned in the low 30's. Also, i have been trying to decide on an amp to power either of these subs, the rms stat says 1000 is enough but with experience is 1000 continuous enough? Thanks in advance

Personally, I'd go with the Q.

but with experience is 1000 continuous enough?

When I auditioned it, 1kW was plenty.

What reasons do you have for choosing the Q over the BL? Does the Q still pound or is it mainly an SQ oriented sub? Thanks

Q is more musical than the BL, the BL is pretty much a step between the Q and BTL series of woofers for power handling reasons only...many people had too much power for a Q and not enough for a BTL, which is why we came out with the BL series of woofers.

Oh ic. So how much power should someone throw daily at a BL?

Thanks

Seems that a kicker 1500 or a sundown 1500 does fine with the 'loaded' BL's.

so..would you say now that the Q with BP option will handle as much as a loaded BL?

i have a sundown on mine, it handles it like a champ, i took it to a comp just playing around with it, i got 137.1 on the TL in the kick pannel in my truck with a box tuned to 32hz 1.2 cubes, im 102% sure i could get 140 DB's out of this thing, when i ran my volts was dropping mad low, stock alt FTL lol

EDIT: 140 with some electrical and box changes

by musical do you mean it keeps up with fast beats better then the BL?

[Fi Car Audio 64]

Fast beats is debatable as the BL seems pretty good on doubled up stuff as well. Q has more linear excursion and bottom end performance than the BL. But the BL can handle more abuse mechincally due to the beefed up suspension.

i think tht just answered my bl VS q debate! Q it is!

I doubt you will be unhappy with either!
