what would u guys do 1 18" ported with about 7 cubes after displacement tuned to 29, off of about 1300 watts. or 2 18"s sealed of of 1300 watts with about 8 cubes after displacement. which one will get louder off the same power? The subs are FICARAUDIO Q's. and the amp is a kicker kx 1200.1

hard question. but i'd go with 1 18, it'll be cheaper and pretty close to two of them sealed

I say try it ported, get it metered and judge like that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif if your hitting mid 140s keep it as is.

wasnt there a hawaiian a few days ago that bought a Q and it arrived killed so FI sent him a new one and said to keep the motor?

When i Pmed the guy about buying the motor off him he said he was giving it to a friend.

Is this the same guy? I'm too lazy to search, or even look down the page right now if it is still on the first page.
