Aq, Re, Fi

[netzero 10+ year member]

I've got an AQ1200D on good enough electrical, and plenty of space to work with. I've got two 10" pioneer subs now, and wanna upgrade. I cant decided. I'm thinking one 15" in 4 cubes tuned to around 32. I wanna get louder than my two 10s but still sound good. AQ SDC2.5 15" on 850 watts (will it be fine?), RE SE 15" on 850 (I've heard it would be fine?), or a FI SSD with copper coils off either 850 or 1200 depending on VC config. I wanna get loud and low as i can with what I've got. I like the prices on the AQ and RE, but if FI is a must then i might save. Thanks for helpin

Thoughts/suggestions?

15" SI Mag if you can find the money. The power is about right (they like around 1000), the space is about right, and your goal (louder + some sq) is about right.

Ive never heard the RE SE or the AQ SDC2.5 so I cant comment on those. The mag will blow your socks off though.

dude ive got a 15" RF Power HX2 15". Gets silly loud, and LOW as a bastard. Trust me.

Ill give ya a good deal on a powerhouse of a sub.

15" Q would do VERY nicely in that box and power level...

SSD with BP power option

Got that exact box in the GF's car with a Q and it's VERY nice. Loud, hits low, and sounds good on all types of music. Getting 1k off a PG amp...

I think im stuck between RE, AQ, and FI. Guys with the Q, is that 12" or 15"? And would a basic Q be better then a loaded SSD? Do you think i should rule out AQ? I'm not competing, just daily and showing off to friends with sony stuff lol.

All good subs

Of your listed choices, the SSD would be the sure winner for me.

AQ SDC 2.5 will take the power fine. And get tremendously loud while maintaining a flat response.

Ok, looking at price, time of use, and really what i need, I'm down to RE and AQ right now. The FI's look amazing, but for what I would want, its gonna be stupid to pay for it. The $180s price tag of the AQ SDC2.5 15" and the RE SE 15" are perfect. I'm down to, lowest loudest but good enough quality. I'm thinking the SE is gonna win in the lows, but will the AQ really get much louder?

I have heard both the SSD and SE and I would personally take the SE, despite the forum bonership currently being enjoyed by the SSD. I just don't think they sound that great, despite getting pretty loud.

I still say the 15" Q would make you very happy. Took the GF's car out last night and that sub is very impressive. No experience with the SD or SE though, so I can't compare. I do like my HD's better of course...

I see why you would //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif I think I've ruled out Fi, for price, performance, and really the practicality of how long i'm going to have them, AQ or RE just looks like the way to go. I'm just pulling hair out trying to decided between the SE and the 2.5 though...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif
