ya...icons are 1k rms a piece so if you only have 2k watts i would go with the 18's

just curious to what would give me more SQ and SPL at the same time the 12's or 18's if i do the 12's ill prolly do a memphis 4kw with an alt upgrade

I'd rather have the Qs.

Couldn't pay me to deal with SSA.

Qs have more cone area, why not BL?

ive been told the BL's arent comparable to the Q's with SQ. i never really knew how to look for SQ untill i got the shade, i had a Q off a pr 1000 and it wasnt as loud as the nightshade of course but now i know the difference between SQ and SPL for sure

i know, they just seem like legit subs in a decent quantity, before i even had a car i had the 2 fi q 18's idea and waht set on doing it but then joined CA and ended up sellling the Q and the pr 1000 to my loss in a matter of like a week, i only wouldve need 1 more sub and amp to have my dream setup...
