i need suggestions

i just bought a new truck, an 04 ranger edge extended cab. Ive been looking at the Fi btl's and the Q's. I listen to rap and rock about 50/50, i was wondering which of the one would be better for me? id like to get hard hitting bass that i can really feel but also have decent SQ to it. if i get the Q's i would probably get the 15's and the btl's as 12".

i'd go with the qs. good sq and gets plenty loud. In that small of an environment, the Q12s would be plentyl oud for you

im pretty sure im going to go with the Q's, ive been reading alot about them and they seem like a pretty solid driver. And im sure id be please with them because im coming from having 2 comp vr's hooked up to a zx400.1, and i really liked that set up, and im guessing the Q's will be a night and day difference to those...also id really like to get the 15's, just to have something different, how would these fair in a sealed box? i could probably get about 6 or 7 cubes in my backseat for a ported, but how much of the tight response would i lose?

i heard the q's work really well ported, and lose too much when going sealed

They were built for ported applications anyway.

ok, so i will get the 15's port them in 6-7 cubes, and tuned to 33-ish?

also would an IA 20.1 be sufficient for them?

if not, what would you suggest, im not wanting to spend anymore than 1000 on amp(s)...

20.1 is plenty
