Right now i have an FI Q 12 running off a sundown saz 1500D running in my impala and while i love the sound of the Q i need more thump as i have the gains turned WAY down on the 1500 and TBH i just want more thump. Now i also only want a one sub solution and only a 12" so i pretty much narrowed it down to those 2 that will have the SQ im looking for as im much more a fan of SQ over straight out SPL. If theres any other sugesstions im open to those aswell.

Alot of the music i listen to dosnt have the low lows ... im mostly a metal type of music guy and besides some NU metal stuff there really isnt much low low bass so thats to be takin into consideration as well.

Also the im looking at getting the fully pimped out Alpha with dual spiders and the flatwind coil and ill just be getting D2's as i dont want to stress the 1500 to much.

Thanks in advance

 
Im not so worried about it taking gobs of abuse as i am about it sounding good. Also i didnt mention it in my original post but i will be running sealed so that should also be takin into consideration.

 
I think you should rebuild your box, or adjust what you have before you start looking to buy other equipment.
?? my real problem is the fact that the fiQ is a 1000W rms sub and i want/need more but want to stay with one sub and also want SQ. My box is fine and is built to specs with subs displacement and everything takin into effect. I have played with what i have and have to tone down my amp a ton so i dont burn my Q up.

Also i am in noway saying the Q isnt a good sub infact its going in the wifes van off a 1000D ( much more its match than the 1500). I just want the same kinda Q but louder handling is all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That is confusing. You can build a different box that could be more efficient, or adjust tuning some, box placement, EQ adjustments etc. Cost of materials to build a 2nd box is less then a new driver.

 
i meant more power handling not louder although one does kinda equal the other if proper power is supplied.
Not really. There are too many factors that come into play other then higher power handling to get louder. There are people that have broken 140 with a single 8 that has 200 watt power handling. There are people that cannot break 145 with 15's that have 2000 watt power handling.

 
Just get a single spider Alpha. The flatwind and double spider won't be as musical as your Q (so I assume). I've never heard one, but I have owned an 05 XXX and I currently now have 2 Alpha 10."

The Alphas sound just as good as an XXX but will get louder and play way lower while still sounding great across the bands.
