[QUOTE="Cruzer, post: 7249811, member: 617686"] i hear the same talk about, oh its a car, dont focus so much on the driver. Well i dont know about you, or anyone else, but if i have to choose between a higher distortion driver, in a door, where its going to be fighting all the aspects of being in a car(sealed and deadened door is still leaky, off axis, etc.) vs having a low distortion driver in the same situation, i would choose the lower distortion driver. would i notice a difference audible? no idea... but if its going to fight the car aspect and all of it involved, i want to start with a more true driver. i dont want to start with a mediocre accurate driver, then add on top all the things that will make it even more of a struggle to get the best sound. anyways, these are the posts i like to see you post. in all seriousness looking at the Q having the option for high qts if going sealed, and from what i have been told u can get a shorting ring installed i would really be leaning to the Q(for sealed box, and shorting ring vs distortion) but interestingly enough, u tell about your driver. while i dont know everything about the designs of subs, i know copper>aluminum, and that definitely makes me more interested in the icon. then model it, looks better both sealed and ported. i love the fact u can go read on sites that sell xbl2 subs, the technology behind it. u can go to AE's website and read about their motor and design, and why its better than the average. i just wish more brands did this. i love to be able to read and know about the product. in all seriousness, i think my whole SQ kick started by reading AE's stuff. he explains why u need this why u need that, why u cant just put an average sub in the correct box and have great sq. u need a driver built for it, then put it in the correct box. things of that nature. im guessing FI is larger than ssa as far as sells? though u wouldnt know it with SSA coming out with a new sub? zcon i think? if ssa is smaller, would be great to support the smaller company as well [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
