Lol at this thread....

Yea, I ****ed it up, my bad, lets get this bish back on track.

Aren't you getting a Q Dom?

ya its lost its point,but i expressed my opinion power wise..its all up to the subs owner what he feels he wants from it..

ibtl!

Yea he wants more output and better lowend.

I told him how to very simply fix both problems, and the answer is more power. And maybe a new box.

Anyhow, the sub looks like its only moving about 2 inches give or take. So it could use a lil more power to get a little more excursion, which will help with lowend a bit.

And I hope to get a Q soon, to test against my Mag. And see which I will end up with for now.

Maybe it's SSFed.

Again, my sig comes in handy for this type of situations lol. I say you both take it out on the streets and hire someone to tape it then post it on ROE //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif . Anyways, why not just email Scott directly on the power issue? I'm sure his reply will settle the whole issue.

The FI Q xmax is 27mm Thats about 1.07 inches, if he got 2 inches out of it, or even close to 2 inches thats alot more than he paid for

A sealed box with 1lb polyfill will bring out those low notes.

 

[phyphoestilic 5,000+ posts]

my box brings out the lows pretty **** good, I dont see any reason his couldn't. btw the sub gets low, but not as low as I was hoping for, but I was comming from a IDMax. so yea. Still more than enough for the price tho.

 

[JiggaD369 10+ year member]

I just think the OP needs to try sealed if possible. Wouldn't hurt.

I am sure if the BTL can take 10K and the coil still look brand fukkin new that the Q's coil can stand **** near 2k and be fine.
Look how DD rates.

And don't tell people the point of systems, thats just your fukkin opinion.

I'd rather over power than under power, but thats just me

The "point" of your system might be to take small amounts of power.

Now some one get a Q, tune at 30hz and feed it 2k.

Thanks.

First off, it took 10k for a short period of time, just before the cone detached. It wasnt' going to live long enough to really test it with 10k, it failed mechanically pretty fast I'd imagine. Secondly, they could have been right on top of an impedence spike, 10k at 40 ohms anyone? Third, in a ported box you'll never see never see full output hardly ever, that's the ENTIRE point point of a ported box! That's why you let the ****ing enclosure do the work for you. A quick model will show you that getting full output at certain frequencies in a ported enclosure requires WAYYY to much power to be reaistic. Increasing excursion by adding power to a ported box adds a good chance to have the sub unload on you, without a huge audible benefit, especially for daily. If you call a 1000 watts of power "small", a SQ oriented sub probably isn't for you, in which case you DO have a different goal for your system than the thread starter did, since he wasn't looking for a 1 note wonder, and was pleased that it blended with his fronstage.
