Fi Q questions

[Gixxsta04 10+ year member]

Cant decide which size Q i should get. It is going in an '01 Chevy Silverado regular cab, so there is not much room. I have taken out the center seat and I now have about 13 inches between the driver and passenger seats. Not sure how I am going to build the box yet. Would I be better off firing the sub up, down, forward, backward or angled? Will a single 10'' be sufficient for this small amount of space, or should I try to cram a 12" in there? If there is not enough room to fit a big enough volume box between the seats I am thinking about making a T shaped box and stealing some airspace from behind the seats. BTW this will be a sealed enclosure, I am going for as much SQ as possible. Should I get the dual or single voice coil?

You should measure the available space and figure the largest box that you're able to use then buy your sub accordingly.

First all Qs are dual voice coil, but you can select whether to have it be dual 1 ohm coild or dual 2 ohm coils.

oh, I thought the 1 and 2 stood for svc or dvc. So should I go with 1 or 2 ohm? Sorry I'm a newb.

Like I said I can probably get as much airspace as I need depending on how I design the box. If needed I will run a box all the way across the back wall(behind the seats)and extend it out between the middle of the driver and passenger seats. The box will have a T shape.

If you have a 1 ohm stable amp planned, definitely get the dual 2 that way you can run the coils in parallel for a 1 ohm load.
