Fi Q pros and cons??

I've heard that it's highly recommended to not give them much more then the 1k rms. Appearantly that number is rated very high and is sort of "pushing its limits" already.

I run 1200+ Watts on mine daily and have run it 1500+ watts and not had a single problem with it... They can take the 1000 watts and laugh at it...

Do I NEED BP power to run around 1200-1400 watts RMS? I kinda already ordered a Fi Q without BP thinking it'd be fine, and the rated wattage is 1600 on my amp at 1 ohm, but it is overrated and impediance rise, etc.

So once again, am I going to be ok without BP cooling option?

Nephew has a 15 clas q on a 1606d hifonics amp in a 3.5 port and the sub takes it like a champ but, make sure you send some clean signal. Also watch your bass boost to.
