[QUOTE="cmflossin, post: 6199723, member: 610351"] i've tried lurking for a while to hopefully pick up the info i need to make my sub choice. but it hasn't worked. so i'm making a thread looking for help. here's what i'm working with: amp: RF 801S. birth cert said 962w @ 4 ohms. box: 2 ft^3 ported. custom built to my car. what i prefer: SQ. i listen to all types of music. i want drums to hit fast and tight. i also want to hear the deep stuff. i don't really care if i'm setting off car alarms. price: so here's the deal. i've read of about 10-15 subs in the past few months that i know NOTHING about. LVL, AQ, ED, DD, AA, RE, etc... i don't know what the hell these mean and no clue if i should be looking that them. i haven't been in the know since the late 90's. back then kicker, rf, ppi, orion, cerwin vega, etc were ruling the roost. so based on my criteria above, which subs should i bee looking at? which will work well with ~800ish watts daily in a 2 ft^3 box that gives good response and high SQ? i thought i was set on a Fi Q. but now i've just read in the past couple of days that the Q isn't as much of a SQ sub as other options. what about a JL W6? is it worth it to go way beyond the budget? can a IDQ handle that power daily? i wish there as a single shop where i could listen to each of the options back to back, but there's not. i'm lost. addendum: has anyone ever messed around with the D series kicker solobarics? i've run a 15 for years and loved it. i would still run it but it won't fit in my trunk. i recently picked up a 12 though. i know kicker recommends a .88 ft^3 sealed box. but was that a mandate or more of a marketing ploy? has anyone ever thrown one in a ported box to see what happens? i would love to just throw that in the box i have already, but i don't want to destroy a good classic sub like that.
