thanks for adviceI have had an Fi Q 15 in a very small box. ( I still have the box so I will edit with actual space used) sound decent, but if you want low end then I suggest 12s. The Q's got loud and sounded good, but not much on the lowerend. The roll off was steep and quick.
your comments = bogusthread = fail
why ask for advice then argue with everyone? just go to best buy and ask them what would be the best 15 for your application
this is a thread not a dating service....... i think your looking for adultfriendfinder.com ahhahaSpringfield? you go to any of the local shows? I used to work at Twisted Pipes
True story.OP, have you ever heard a ported setup that was correctly aligned for a smooth low end rather than configured for peaky response and extra output? For efficient and effortless low freqs, ported is the way to go. Seriously. In the actual sub-bass region a single ported 10 can provide more output than a sealed 15 and still sound good doing it.
you dont have to convince me....i agree with you, vented/ported enclosures can sound awesome in sq or spl setups but I really prefer the clean sound of a sealed enclosures a tad bit more iOP, have you ever heard a ported setup that was correctly aligned for a smooth low end rather than configured for peaky response and extra output?

THIS!!! The smaller sub in the right enclosure will be louder, tighter and have a flatter frequency response than a 15 in a box that is too small.OP you also are not factoring in sub displacement. Let's say you have 1.8, a particular sub may take up .3. That leaves you with 1.5. They are trying to tell you a 15 will sound like ****. They can work with some 12s in that volume. A 12 in a proper enclosure would be better than a 15 in a sorry one.Good luck.
I agree with you on that....I will have to ask the person that created the design if they included the sub displacement.OP you also are not factoring in sub displacement.
