[QUOTE="chipstien, post: 7427548, member: 635197"] I have been wracking my brain for 3 weeks now trying to design a system for my volvo V40 sport wagon. Between different brand subs and different sizes I am truly floored. For starters, I will be upgrading the electrical as needed. Big 3 with 1/0 Knu. OFC wire, along with at least one set of said wire running to the back with a HC3800 battery or equivalent. Amps are pretty much a given at this point though the end wattage is dependent on the subs I get. Crescendo 5500 or two 3500 strapped or single 3500. I wont go into the highs at this point as it is probably irrelevant. So my original plans were two AQ HDC3 15 Al on the 5500. Then I have also kicked around the idea of 1 HDC3 18 Al on a 3500 but scratched that idea because, while I have lately been listening to mostly hip hop, rap and Top40, I also listen to a ton of Country with some various other genres of music thrown in. I have heard that the 18 would be a little slow to react on that stuff and while I am leaning towards an SPL setup, I am not sure how much I am willing to sacrifice on SQ. Which leads me to my last setup... 2 Fi Q 15,s on a single 3500. AQ enclosures would be tuned around 35 hz while I am leaning towards a 32 or 33 hz tuning on the Fi Q. Airspace for 15s is slightly low at 3.1cuft after displacements while 18 enclosure was 6cuft after displacements. A couple other options I have kicked around but haven't put a ton of weight into is 2 Fi Q high QTS 18's in sealed enclosure or a single 18 and two 10's tuned higher. Feel free to comment on that too. So bottom line, what should I run? Will the AQs still have pretty good SQ or am I giving up a ton there. If so, will the Fi Q still get loud as heck like I want? Any other subs in the 200 to 350 price range that might suit me better? My only requirements are 15" or larger. I already have a SQ setup in my truck with four 10's in a sealed enclosure and want to go big for fun this time. Need any more info just ask. Take care *edit*, I should clarify that the 15 enclosures are 3.1 cubes PER SUB.... [/QUOTE]
