About to order my new sub tonight - Final thoughts

[birdmanpresents 10+ year member]

Alright so I have decided to order the FI Q 12".

https://ssl.perfora.net/www.ficaraudio.com/sess/utn;jsessionid=154bf5b64f175e0/shopdata/0050_Speakers/0030_Q/product_overview.shopscript

My current setup is:

HU: Alpine CDA-117

Speakers: ID CXS64

Speaker amp: Audison SRX4

Sub amp: MTX JH1200

Sub: Alpine type R

Box: Sealed just over .08 cubic feet

My system is mostly for SQ but I also want to have alot of power available to make it pound when needed. The sub handles 1000W RMS but claims with the cooling system you can push another 200-400W RMS. I plan to run my amp and 1 ohm 1200W to it.

1. Is the MTXJH1200 ok to run at 1ohm? It lists 1 ohm stable but I want to make sure I wont run into any problems and possibly blow it.

2. What options should I get with the FI Q? Im getting cooling and high QTS since its a sealed box but what about spider and I heat ring?

3. Any other suggestions/recommendations.

Thanks for the input guys, hope I can get some final thoughts before I buy //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

If it says it's one ohm stable then it is. That's where it hits it's 1200 rms.

spider you def want but no heat ring, heat ring will make it play higher,

My system is mostly for SQ and you want to run the sub at 1ohms?

Hard to find a better sq amp than OS orion. I have one of these and many reds. All I run on subs. Thinking of trying a mono amp, just can't get past the thd, even though it is inaudible. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/suave.gif.858fc102f7646e678ee8af7e1fbc41d1.gif

I'd honestly look into the IA Flatlyne....after never being able to get a response from Fi about anything such as recones to subs, I don't think I'd buy anything from them.

that's weird. I've emailed them around 10 times or so and have got a response every time the day after at the latest. Fi is usually really good to deal with.
