Fi Q's Sealed?

[97chameleonbird 10+ year member]

Im looking to get nice clean but loud bass. It will be easier for me to do a sealed enclosure in the back hatch of my firebird. I was thinking of getting 2 fi 12" Q's. Does this sound like a good option or should i go with a different fi model? ive been reading and i think the Q is the best for sealed. Also. If that is a good choice (or if another is suggested) what amp should i look into.

Thanks.

*edit* This is a daily driver, just for personal use. Not needing to break windows, but i do want to impress.

The Qs peform very well sealed. The SSDs also work well sealed if you still talking about 12"s.

Thanks. Do you have anything to reccomend for an amp?

I just purchased a 15" q, and I will be running it sealed in my hatchback.

For an amp, I am looking at the sundown 1000d, the Alpine PDX1.1000, and maybe the Elemental designs nine.1

The Q does not perform that well ported? I was thinking going ported with a 12"

i have mine ported , its get pretty loud. i have no numbers though.

im thinking i may go sealed to free up some space. from what ive read , they perform great either way.

Xmax is 27mm.

I just got an email from Fi. Looks like the sub is ready, and is going to ship soon!

Not bad. Should be plenty of displacement potential sealed then.

What would you consider a good range for XMAX levels with sealed enclosures?

My range is the more the better.

27mm being one inch of linear throw the more the better eh?

maybe if you do some lectrical upgrades a AQ2200 is only 389 brand new but you need alt and extra battery so maybe just 1200 to 1500 watts on stock electrical.

MTX TA7801 1200 rms+ is around $250 on net
