[QUOTE="blazian87, post: 8680815, member: 574798"] I can't speak for the older fi Q but I had one a few years back fully loaded version. Took about a month wait time but nowadays probably longer. It's very well built and looks really nice. The cone was supperrr stiff when I got it, took about a month or 2 of just banging hard to really break in the suspension. I experimented a lot with the sub and ran it for about a year before I sold it. I had a 12" in a 2.5 net in a passive radiator box which means I can change the tuning up or down on the fly. Fi recommends 28-32 hz. Nothing higher than that. I found 30 hz to be the most natural sounding for this particular sub. It sounded best with hip hop and r&b type of music. It was a low end monster. Digged really deep and was loud in that range. Very smooth, never sounded muddy or dirty. Was able to blend in easily but once I played other genres of music that had a higher freq range, it sounded very flat. Doesn't do well with pop, rock, or edm type music unless you tune higher. I felt for 1 12" and me playing music in the low range, it exceeded my expectations. I loved that sub for what it did. For 1 12" it was pretty dam loud and got a lot of attention. I do miss the Q but I got rid of it because it was very limited in its range. I needed a sub that can play almost anything, not only limited to hip hop and r&b. I would go for the SSA Icon in the future as I've heard that it can play higher. I'm not bagging on the Q, I'm just stating my experience. Here's the pic of my old setup [/QUOTE]
