Had these 12's now.. ID-Max, RE and FI

[Intercooler 10+ year member]

I started off with the RE-SE D4 with a Kicker 600.1 then moved on to an ID-Max D4 with the Hifonics 2006D. When the ID-Max had a delam issue I didn't want to be down forever so I ordered a FI-Q D1 and finished up putting it in today with the same amp and setup. I don't know if anyone else has had all of these in the same box like this but they all play pretty darn good. I have found each time I changed it takes about 3-4 days to get accustomed to the way each plays. When I went to the Max I felt more output and it ended up sounding better than the SE. Now with this FI in I pretty much can tell it has more output but will have to go a few days to see if the SQ is better. At any rate if it lasts it is the one for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I will be able to give my .002 later in the week after listening to this one so far but the ID-Max may be the better SQ sub. It is close at this point without listening much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif I think the Max was a little looser where this FI sub seems tighter. Between hits it seems faster reacting. Anyone else have experience with these three?

This Q magically started playing a little different today. I guess it does need a break-in. It is the best so far out of these I listed and although I may keep the Max as a back-up the Q is staying in. Crazy huh!

Give the Q a couple of weeks to break-in...........There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah I have 2 RE SE 12"s (ported) and then an Fi Q 12" that I put in when I feel like it...

I run them at 1500 watts RMS. The RE's are a little louder, but the Fi is much more pleasant to listen to.

My q took forever to break in after having it reconed once, lol! Then it started to sound real good off of about 800 plus RMS. Coulnd't be any happier and then next thing I know it started to sound real sloppy. Popped the trunk and have about a 6" tear around the surround part of the sub. Don't ask me how that happens cause I wasn't even pushing the sub that hard. Hell hasn't ever seen it's rms potential and already blew once and now this. I am done with FI. Sounded great while it lasted though. More a mechanics thing with the sub. Wish you better luck than I had.

I will be checking into ID max subs soon.

He was just messing with you, and he got you all riled up and defensive.

That means he wins.
