[QUOTE="Lingerfelt, post: 3396700, member: 578576"] Hope this is a different question from what is normally posted, I know you guys get this shit all the time, but hopefully I can get some advice. My current setup: P580MP BXi2006D 2 12" Type R Dual 4s in a prefab (I know) box I can't stand the way the R's sound when they hit, like a bad slapping sound, so I think I'm leaning towards a sub aimed at sound quality, like the Q. Again, this is going off all the positive reviews I've read. I've never experienced an FI sub. I plan on powering it with the BXi2006, somewhere around 1300-1500 rms, or more if possible. So my questions are, Will an 18" Q sound infinitely better than my R's, without the hideous slapping noise? How will an 18" Q compare SPL-wise to the R's? I'm not an SPL person, my ears can't take it, but I can't lie, crushing some punk with 2 Audiobahns at a red light is fun.
