[munchies 10+ year member]

well ill be buying a new sub after the holiday season to go along with my alpine mrd-605. ive narrowed it down to 3 subs; fi q, fi ssd, SI BM. All 3 have pros and cons from what ive read but i haven't had the chance to hear any of these. i wanna hear which sub you would choose and why or why not?

why would i choose the fi q over the fi ssd/SI BM?

also make sure the ppl who make suggestions have heard at least one of the subs, a lot of ppl just say what everybody else says (not saying that has been done so far). I havent heard any, but I have heard all 3 are great subs, so whatever you end up with, I doubt u will be disappointed

dont know about the Q's or the BM's, but my 2 10 SSD's were louder than my 2 12 MT's to the ear(in half the airspace). never got it metered. sound quality out the *** also. loved it. all this was with the gains turned halfway up on my 2000d amp..stupid wiring mistake fried my amp before i could give the subs proper breakin time to crank them up (blew my amp after ONE DAY). so all i can vouch for is the SSDs. BADASS

**** bro sorry to hear about the amp. what kind and size enclosure was it? ill only be sending 600 rms to one 12'' untill i save up for another amp and sub. so far the fi ssd sounds like the best choice but thats only based off one post. its nice that the fi ssd is a good 100$ cheaper than the BM.

my ssd 15's slam with only 600ish per sub in like a 2 cube per sub box, havent played with the bm or the q, but 100 cheaper and fi's top nitch customer service to me thats a no brainer

Fi Q > SSD or SSD > Q ???

Fi Q > SSD or SSD > Q ???

good question. id like to hear the answer to this. SI BM is quickly falling out of the conversation lol.

depends what your looking for and power, the ssd's are great daily moderate power subs, the q's are the more sql subs and can take a little bit more power, with 600 on tap i would reccomend the ssd

i have a box i just built and i would like to use it. 2.7^3 @ 32 hz. which of these subs would perform well in that enclosure?

ssd or q both call for a 2.5 cubic foot box, so either
