[QUOTE="sml238, post: 8177249, member: 603236"] [I]Okay, so I'm about to order my new setup and I need some advice. I'm coming from a 15" AQ HDC3, powered by a Kicker ZX 1200, in a 3.9 net cuft box tuned to 35hz. This setup is now gone...the amp fried, I sold the sub, and I would like something more SQ oriented as I produce music and value more accurate frequency responses. I also want something that will hammer the lows, all while giving me similar output to my hdc3. The system will be going into the trunk of a 2003 VW Jetta GLI.[/I] [I] [/I] [I] [/I] [I] [/I] [I]I'm looking at ordering a fully loaded 15" Fi Q with an SQ 1200d (Previously AQ 1200d).
