Fi Q, the impression.

[Thieroff 10+ year member]

First off, let's take into account the build quality.

Very solidly built woofer, quality, top to bottom. Drop dead sexy I might add.

Aesthetic value

Very simple, not excessive in any way, very straightforward, which is what I like

Customer service

Excellent. A wise man once told me "Chris, I never want to hear you brag, because if you are as good as you think you are people will speak for you"

Right now I'm speaking for Scott, and Fi Car Audio.

Ok, now let's get to the business

The sub

15" Fi Q d2

The power

PG Tantrum 1200.1

The enclosure

2.0 sealed

The Review

All in all I have to say I'm very pleased with the sub so far. Even in an improper enclosure it is forgiving. I also do not currently have a real front stage in, only stock. It is very accurate and musical.

It has no problem keeping up with basslines. Also it gets dirty down low. Lots of authority.

Like I said, I do not have this sub in a proper enclosure and am quite satisfied so far.

Output, even sealed, is quite impressive and more than anybody really actually needs.

This is a hint of what it is really capable of in a ported alignment for SPL type applications.

I would have to say the SQ is really on par with my Rl-p. Both subs can definately contend with each other.

Oh, absolutely.

It suprised the hell out of me, especially sealed.

Fun times ahead.

sweet, what are you planning to put it in?

Me and my buddy Pat were throwing out some ideas

The two main ones currently are 4th order, or a larger sealed box (2.5-3 before displacement)

why not just a ported box?

Well, I enjoy sealed for the accuracy and ported for the ouput

a 4th order is basically the best of both worlds, and would be a fun project.

Ported is so 05

Buddy has 2 15s ported tuned to 34hz. LOUD and sounds good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
