Fi or TC? Q vs 2000

[fscker 10+ year member]

looking to get a new substage. was looking into 15" comp VX and L7's now im looking at either a 15" Fi Q or a 12" TC-2000 (same price). out of the 2, which would u choose, and why? I want it loud, but to sound nice. the 2000 says its rms is 800 (i belive?) could i push it beyond that? ill have a Brutus Bxi 1606D to power whichever one. im sure the Q and the 2000 can take more than 1,000 watts daily if a type r 12" can. im looking to be in the 1,200-1,500 watt range with this setup. the 1606 is 1600w x 1 @ 1ohm (not sure if i can get the tc-2000 in dual2, if i cant. then ill get the Q)

Any particular reason you decided to ditch the cvx/l7 route?

trying something new. never owned/heard fi or tc. my last setup was 2 12" comps, and everyone and theyre mother has kicker. so i thought id go a different route. i live in a small(ish) town and would most likely be the only one with fi or tc and would love to support another audio company. especially when people ask me what i have, and think i got some jl, kicker, or some other typical mainstream shit. id like to say its something different

Ive been dyin to try out that TC2000, but I cant do it for the price its at. A little too much. And the voice coil options ****.

Looks like Q FTW again.

yea so i guess ill go with a 15" Q then. need something 1ohm stable. althouth the Q is an SQ woofer, they do get fairly loud, correct?

They get hella loud, and hella low. I would consider it a heavyweight SQL contender.

I 2nd the Q even though I never got it up to par and is currently sitting in my bedroom waiting on a ported box, but gotz a baby coming soon, so I might just put the small sealed box back in. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif Sounds good and gets low! Also is priced very good, so I would go that route.

The Q is the superior subwoofer.
