Which would get louder on 1000watts: a Q18 or SSD18, both in a 7cuft aero ported enclosure? Which would play lower? The SSD would be copper coil only. What is the best tuning for daily for either of these subs. I like my bass low ad loud, as I listen to a lot of rap. I need your input

Q would be louder..better suited for you IMO.

Thanks!

im gonna have to go with the ssd but the q will give you better sound quality might be close though.tuning maybe 30-34 should be good

if your amp is 1000MAX, i'd say go SSD...the Q really likes 1000-1500 IMO, depending on if you have BP or not, but trying to run a 1000W out of a 1000W MAX amp is not a good idea

My amp is actually about 18-1900@1ohm, I was just trying to see which would work with this power and maybe add another in the future. The SSD, which I'm getting one in a trade maybe, doesn't like sealed, and the ported is too big for me to fit two of them in my trunk. The Q is more expensive, but will work in a sealed enclosure. The Q seems to take more power than I have if I did 2 of them, which makes the SSDs power handling perfect for me, but they may not sound good in a sealed enclosue.
