If I get two 12" FI-Qs

What will I need for it to perform to it's potential and not kill my car since I drive it daily?

Or if I just get one 10" FI-Q, what will I need?

You should give it as close to the 1000 watts per sub as possible... They seem to enjoy a little more...

Most people are very happy with a single Q...

If you are going single go with a 15" and run it about 1200watts rms...

So, a Power Acoustik 1440w or Hifonics Herc would be good? I wouldn't need a new alternator or nothing?

Big 3 upgrade and a deep cycle battery should be all you would need.

Strange as all the info in here would be false in my case. I have 1 12 Q in a sealed application and I am not very happy so far. Have had it in many boxes too. Havent tried ported, but listen to a lot of rock. Also I have 2 kinteks, one for starter and one in trunk and big 3 done, but no upgraded altenator as of yet and my lights dim like crazy. Only off 1000rms as well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

It seems like a lot of people are having problems with them sealed. I'm fully satisfied with mine ported. It's too loud for me to the ear..

My lights still dim with Big 3, 240 amp Iraggi, and a Yellow top under the hood. They dim, but the voltage stays at 14.0 with them on. Lights off I get 14.4 volts constant.

What do you mean 'ported'?

They can get real loud sealed.

They can get real loud sealed.

Is that bad?

No he just said that people were having trouble getting them loud in sealed enclosures. i was just stating that they can get real loud sealed.

People dont have problems with these. They are one of the best SQL subs on the market, and in its price range they are THE best.

Noobs just dont know how to install sometimes and need help.
