is the FI Q 12" the sub for me?(if not,suggest some)

[loud-n-low 10+ year member]

the box is 2 cubes tuned to 28hz. had a rl-p in it, and it sounded great.sole the rl-p,put a RE SE12 in the box,lows werent as pronounced. im looking for a sub with great sq, but does best on lowest notes(25-35hz) in the box i have. The FI seems the best choice,but I want to know if there is better for the lowest low notes.

Cliff notes:

low end monster in ported box

great SQ

comes in d4 or d1 ohm

$300 or less shipped

up to 1000 rms

I currently have the Fi Q on 1500rms in a 1.3 cubic foot sealed box in my Camaro and I like it quite alot!

However, I swapped it out for an AE AV12H for a little while a while back and the AV was noticeably sharper, had a TON more impact and output while sounding just as clean. Have you looked into the AV12H? The only complaint ive really heard about them is that they have TOO much low end, lol

I ran into some early production issues with mine, but otherwise would still have it for sure. In a ported box, im sure it would absolutely pound. And John at AE recommends tuning low llike yours also. Im going with two AV10s this time around though

I loved the lows from my Diamond TDX 12. I have one for sale if you want it, but it is a D2. almost the exact same box specs as mine.
