FI Q lows...drop a spider?

[loud-n-low 10+ year member]

im looking for amazing lows and sq out of a single sub wether it be sealed or ported.I have narrowed it down to the FI Q. my question is: does the Q get real low? I was advised to have mine built with only 2 spiders instead of the standard 3 spiders. this a good idea? will it handle the same power or stick with 3 spiders and hope it breaks in enough? Thanks

you should be fine with the standard spider option...Its gonna get very very low...Im thinking of a few for my next setup

i just didnt know if its a stiff suspension and running it sealed would be difficult to get the lows. my RE SE did great low,but thats a single spider so im afraid the Q wont

Stock Qs will drop pretty low, even sealed. I was dead set on a pair about 3 years ago, because of that.

Check out the SSA ICON and XCON as well if looking for violent sickening loud lows.

What's "low" to you?

Might want to look into the IB3, in infinite baffle...

25-35 hz. my RE SE 15 in 3 cube sealed was low. i want those lows with a little more output poss. without porting

i saw that the xcon has 5 spiders. my sundown sae-1200 may not do the job especially sealed

would i be better off with 3 spiders than 2 since i will be overpowering it? The shiva-x2 is another option due to low fs and high xmax however idk that it will handle over 1000 rms

go on the larger side of the rec. sealed. dont forget to add some polyfill.

Do you really need that much power?

Not all these spiders are the same stiffness.
