winkychevelle brought up a very good point. Different vehicles will make the same equipment sound very differently (due to wave reflection/interaction, different resonant freqs, etc). So you can imagine how hard it is to compare different equipment in different vehicles... almost impossible to make fair comparisons.

Thank you!!! I hear this all the time at the shop and after I say it most likely won't be the same they go out and do it and come back asking why is that guy louder. Even in the same model car, year and everything it most likely won't sound the same.

I have people when I demo my s10 with 2 18s on 5k say I want that in what ever car they bring. And when I tell then what it cost for me to run that much power, how big my box is, and the cost of the equipment, they just complain and go elsewhere where another shop says yea you'll be louder than him. So they get there system installed come back, talk some bs, I bet I'm louder, some idiot persist and I pull out the meter and prove I was right.

I wish I could say I was right all the time but I have been proven wrong and that just goes to prove each vehicle is different. Where as I have 5k watts and two 18s and they pull up with 1500 watts and two 12s and beat be out. Just goes to show that there are too many variances to say yea you'll be louder than so and so and be truthful everytime

wow thanks for all the words everyone. ive also been looking at a 15 FI Q. lots of positive feedback on them. also browsed lots of youtube videos

at heart i drum to and listen (at home, ipod etc) to death metal, but in my car i love blasting some rap

id love to know what 2 12s on 1500w system took on your 5k 18s

youll be happy with that q.

just make sure you put it in a well designed box and not a piece of prefab garbage.

The Q should do you good. I basically have the same car (93 towncar) and they are hard to get loud. i have an AQ2200d at .5 and 4 sa8s... im happy thus far with mine
