How much power will FI SSD's handle?

[Wolverine19D 10+ year member]

So I have been asking a lot of questions on here and have decided I want 1 FI SSD 15" and 1 18" to put in my Jeep Wrangler. Right now I have a 1500 watt RMS MB Quart amp. It should make those subs sound pretty good for now. But eventually if I want to upgrade my amp how much power will these subs handle together?

Should I get the BP power option for another $30 and what does this do? Or the flatwind coil option for $20? I want to keep as much sound quality as I can and am unsure of what these options do.

Also I would need dual 1 ohm subs for my amp right?

Is there any possibility these subs could handle 2 MB Quart 1500's in the future for daily or am I dreaming?

Thanks guys

do NOT run a 18 and a 15" in the car cabin that wont sound good at all.

def get the flatwound coil option. they can handle safely 1000rms daily and 1500-1800 for burps. alot depends on the encloure with power handling.

x2 do not do a 18 and a 15 together either 2 15s or 2 18s

Well ****, why wouldn't they sound good? I don't have room for 2 18's in the Jeep. But want as much bass as possible. I guess 2 15's itll be. But what about the FI Q's then? Would they still sound good but be louder than the SSD's? Then in the future it would let me upgrade them more for power. Remember for now they will only be getting 1500 RMS.

You guys are a ton of help, Thanks!

Do NOT mix sub sizes. Bad idea.

Thanks, I know better now. So what subs do you guys think I should get then? And what options?

Mixing subs isn't gonna hurt anything. I just think it's pretty dumb looking myself. 2 different boxes. Just go the 2 15s.

I could almost put 4 15's in there but I don't have the eletrical or money right now. So what subs should I get since you all are the experts? Thanks

2 Fi Q 15's on 3kw

Thanks Eric, for now they would only be getting 1500 RMS though. Which options would I need to put on the Q to handle the 1500 RMS each after I upgrade? Thanks

Well guys, I could really use some input as I believe I am going to order them tomorrow. Also do I need dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm? Its 2 speakers and I need them to run at 1 ohm with my amp. So I need to know that, and what options to put on the speaker if any. Thanks!

The dual 1 ohm would wire to 1 ohm....

Make sure you wire them in "series" though, that would end in the 1 ohm load......

"Parallel" would be a .25 ohm.....
