I 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.

thanks for advice

thread = 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

your comments = bogus

I asked for advice and Then i gave my opinion on the type of woofer and enclosure I wanted , small difference between that and arguing. Sorry I am looking to buy some sundown amps and either a cadence woofer/kicker cvx's. I dont like best buy but if i wanted some audiopipe my local flea market has a **** load of amps laying around lol..

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.

True story.

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 i

I was just going to suggest a ported 10.

Btw OP, why are you worried about sensitivity with 1400 watts. Should get loud. I would get a 12 sealed or 10 ported however

I want a single 15 any suggestions for a e92 coupe sealed enclosure preferably.. that can take atleast 1000w rms...

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.

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.

I agree with you on that....I will have to ask the person that created the design if they included the sub displacement.

Look into the Idmax, they dont make 15's and it wont handle that power but it'll sound good.
