Future setup ideas,Fi..kicker..12s..15s?

[CJL 10+ year member]

Im planning for future setup as of right now i have 3 setups, 3 12" Fi Qs Ported, 2 12" Fi BTL's, 3 12" Kicker L7s Ported, 3 15" Fi Qs Sealed. Which do you think would be the best option? For room i only have 7.26^ft Total to work with. Either options will be powered off ~3000wRMS most likely a Hifonics XX Collossus. I want a setup that will be a night and day difference in spl from my current setup which is 2 l7 12s off 1000wRMS which already is crazy loud //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Im saying 3 12 inch ssds. There is enough room power and they get crazy loud.

what would be the difference between them and the Qs?

Well i havent really heard Qs and i didnt want to tell you to go with them being that i never heard them so im just going off what I know. In all honesty you can't go wrong either way.

No prob and the ssds are cheaper. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

Im a ported guy so Im gonna say go with either the q's or the L7's ported. Both are great speakers, with great customer service. But I dont know that Polecat guy from kicker sure looks at my butt kinda funny! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

from what i understand the ssd's CAN peak a bit tad higher than the q at a certain frequency, whether that would get you a higher peak score would really depend on your box and car. the q's are supposed to be louder at basically every other frequency and have a less steep roll off.

are you only concerned with spl scores, or do you want loud to the ear? not concerned about sound quality at all?

what ever you have room for and power for.

I would do 3 Q 15's and 3000-4000 watts if you have it. Just because it would be so **** loud and low.

for wow factor I'd try to get 4000 watts and 2 BTL's 12's. But if your just going to be using that amp go ahead and do 3 Q's what ever size fits your application

kind of a stupid thread btw

 

[B_Campbell 10+ year member]

just re read the thread, I say with that cu ft to work with, i'd do 3 fi q's at 30hz

wangin.

wangin.

thats kinda the option im leaning toward right now but i would tune @ 35hz:up2somet: If the L7s didnt require such big boxes i would just add another one since i know what they can do.

If you were going for SPL, I'd say go for the 3 L7s ported. However, for SQL, out of your choices, I'd go with 3 Qs sealed - hands down. 3 sealed Qs will get plenty loud enough for anything short of SPL competing and will sound much better than the L7s. I had 2 12L7s ported and ditched them after 3 months for a 15" Mag sealed. The L7s get loud, insanely loud for their cost, but they get pretty muddy with fast beats and just aren't a very musical sub IMHO. They don't sound like *** like some claim, but they're definitely not a SQ sub.
