New SQ/SQL sub options

[helotr3vor 10+ year member]

Hey guys been off the market for a while but looking into buying a new car so of course had to come back and guys your guys' opinions on systems. I should be finding myself in a B8 A4 within the next month or two and already know I'm going to want some kicking bass in the trunk. I have previously had the Fi BL 18 in a big ported box... boy did I love that thing but had to sell a few things.

First off I would like to ask if anyone has ran into any issues with installing systems in the B8 A4 models. I wanted to just add a sub and an amp but wasn't sure if I was going to run into allot of issues without replacing the head unit.

Second, for those of you who have gone from ported to sealed, was it not enough and you eventually go back to ported? For the trunk systems do you prefer sealed or ported?

I was originally thinking of going with either one or two 10" or 12" in a sealed box(now going ported). Most likely going to power it with a sundown 1000.1. The subs I was thinking of so far are,

Fi Q

Incriminator Lethal Injection

SSA Icon

Sundown E

Im going for a loud sealed sound quality setup. I felt as if my BL definitely got loud enough but sometimes it couldn't keep up with my music. It drives me crazy when the bass lags even the slightest bit. Oh and did I mention, it has to be able to hit the lowwwwws as well.

Sealed and SQ do, and sealed can get loud to the ear, but takes a lot more power/subs.

Well yes but if he wants mix Id go ported... OP look into Dayton HO's they dont need much room at all ported...

He probably had a ton of cone area to make up for it.

Great Choice!

Alright alright ported then. Maybe ill go with aero ports this time or something.

New scenario. Ported box is at ideal size tuned to 32hz. Amp for powering the sub/s is Sundown 1200.1

What number?

1. Fi Q 12

2. SSA Icon 12

3. Incriminator Audio Lethal Injection 2x10

4. Sundown Audio SA 2x10

The Fi Q and SSA Icon are great options. I'd also consider the Fi SSD and IA Flatlyne over the IA Lethal and SA-10. Also might wanna look into Obsidian Audio subs, built by Nick formerly of Stereo Integrity.

ID max would be my suggestion but off your list, I like choice number 1.
