fi.q vs fi.ssd

Is it 140 dollars better?
This is gonna be a tough choice

you will kick yourself later if you don't get the q now....spend the 140 now. down the road, you will want to sell the other, probably for less and have to make up the difference out of pocket

yea i am 90% sure you could fit the ssd 15" in there! i have like 17-18 inches too in height clearance and i have mine in a 3.5 cubed ported box tuned to 34 hz's. it also takes 11oo rms all day fine

i have a few graphs on the 15ssd enclosures if you would like them

I've heard over on the FI forums SSD's with copper coil option sound pretty **** good. That's not a hell of a lot of wattage for a Q, it's not even at the conservative rms rating.

The rms rating on those SSD's you linked is 800watts according to the OP. I'm not saying the Q won't sound good on 900 watts, I just think a lot of people overlook the ssd.

My friend has 15" Q on probably around 900watts from a zx1000.1. That shit gets pretty **** loud.

Hmm 135 for those ones are sounding pretty good right now. Then ill have money left over for the box supplies, some speakers and a new fuse holder that I need

for the ssd15d2

these are 5ft^3: 33, 30, 26hz respectively

these are 4ft^3: 33, 30, 26hz respectively

Dont tune to 26hz...

Go with about 3-3.5 with 40 sq in of port tuned to about 35hz.

 

[dman4486 5,000+ posts]

the peak is at an awfully high frequency, but here ya go

3ft^3 @ 35hz

3.5ft^3 @ 35hz

i got my q15 installed in my car last week and i love the thing. sounds great in my sealed box and gets pretty **** loud

 

[dman4486 5,000+ posts]

if you want to tune higher you will need a larger box to lower the peak's hz

Now the question is do I go with a fi.ssd 12 with copper coils for 135 or a q

Idk what to do......i really want the q but its a lot more uggg
