idk i just talked to the guy selling the RE HC and he said 1200Rms idk i like the way the FI Q looks alot better but i might have to go with the 200 extra watts

Im guessing FI Q recone would be easier and cheaper to get so I would so go with that

I'm kinda partial to Fi, but I'd have to say your better off with the Fi Q's. Send them an email and ask about a recone kit for the Q, it's going to be a lot cheaper than trying to rebuild the RE.

i e-mailed them yesterday afternoon and still no reply but i think im just going to stick with going with the FI Q I like the way they look a whole lot better

Fi. I think you will be much more happy with there customer service. I bought a recone for my BTL and it was $125 with the rubber gasket, So I imagin a Q recone is no more then that. Also dont worry about over powering the Q...People give their q's 1800w RMs and they love it.

Why not try this, take the blown HC and have Scott recone it with Q soft parts......it will sound great....I know because that's what I'm currently running in my car until I start the total rebuild.....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The Q will take up to 1500 without options, and ~ 1800 with options. Its a good driver.
