nvm, after comparing on youtube, i think ill go with the fi q12...

How & why would you base your decision on youtube videos?

not sure, just lookin at the sub in action helps the decision i guess, idk im kinda noobish to car audio, i mean ive got a system and know how to put stuff in simply but anything out side of that not clue

I'm not saying the Fi Q is a bad sub, but youtube videos are in no way helpful in deciding what kind of equipment to run.

To be completely honest, I'd just assume run the SPG555 you already have. Did you put any thought into picking up the SPG-TR passive radiator? BOSTON ACOUSTICS SPG-TR High Performance TunableRadiator Subwoofer: SPG-TR US Car Stereo

It's a passive radiator, man. It's used along with the SPG555 you already have.

If you don't know what a passive radiator is, read this: The Subwoofer DIY Page - Passive Radiator Systems

or this: Passive Radiators

or find more info with a google search...
