Tell me what the F*ck to buy so I can place my order already lol

So I will finally be upgrading my substage here pretty soon. I'm looking to get looow and loud.

Here are all the details:

Power: Mmats 2000.1

Vehicle: 04 Civic coupe

Music: Decaf, rap, rock, some country

Space: probably around 4-5 cubes.

Budget: $500 dollars, give or take.

Note* Because of the smallish trunk opening, the tallest my box can be is ~14 inches, so if I went with a single 15 it would have to be sub up firing through rear deck where the 6x9's used to be.

I'm torn between a few setups, but of course always looking for other suggestions.

1. two 12 inch Fi SSD's

2. two 12 inch Fi Q's (how much better would these sound over the SSD's on just a 1000 a piece? would it be worth the extra $80 or so?)

3. two 12 inch Fi BL's (how is the low end on these?)

4. one 15 Xcon

5. one 15 Sp4 (I know the 4 inch coil subs are very inefficient, and i've asked about them before, but would 2k be enough to get it wangin'?)

6. one 15 Fi BTL n2

Obviously I am leaning heavily towards Fi lol for my budget and goals they seem to fit well. I'm not opposed to other brands though, nor am I opposed to buying used. Just getting sick of waiting and lurking through the classifieds every d*mn day lol

If you're hooked on Fi I'd say the Q and they'll do more than fine on 1k each.

If you're looking for used gear, you could try any number of Skar products.

Seriously though, with 2000w and a $500 budget, I'd say get some ICON's

I would hope so, they're rated for 1500w, lol.

I've got a single 12 vvx right now but I want something else.

I would totally go with the Icon's but theyre $350 a piece :'( $700 is too rich for my blood.

just get the fi q.s and get a badazz box built for them

My recommendation would definitely be for the Fi SSD, or SSA Icons.

I'd lean towards the SSD just because they pop up used at a great price, very often. Here and CAWKO sees a lot of them.

Actually I'm going to go with 14 10 inch kicker comps. Comp is short for competition subs, so you know theyre good!

If that's so, then Pyramid sits above the rest, right? And Lightning Audio gives your speakers moar power!
