Wanting to go with a Fi Q

[munchies 10+ year member]

i ran 2kw @ .5 to mine... and it got stinky, but thermally took all an hk4000 could throw at it @ 2(couldn't get it to smell).i'm just saying in general, thermally subs like higher impedance's.

Well thats good to know that my sub can take 2kw @ .5ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

And to the OP, as stated before i would go with a 1500D, headroom ftw

That Q will be happy with a minimum of 1000watts if I remember correctly. I think I read in a thread that 1200 or 1500 was the sweet spot.

I thought the Q did fine even under a kW, when I auditioned it it was receiving somewhere around 800W and that was all it needed, IMO...

Dude, there are a couple of Mags for sale here that are very reasonably priced. I am just saying....

Yes I know. Just picked one up 2 days ago. $215!

Mag FTW.

I am also going to run a little bit bigger amp for headroom.

Wait, so should i get a dual 2 ohm or dual 1 ohm for the Sundown 1500D?

that was if you were going to run a kicker amp @ 2 ohms.

i love my 12'' q and would recommend it to anyone. i have it running off a sundown 1500. Its for sale pm me if interested

i been thinking about an fi q, love my beyond audio, but always wanted an fi q, you think it will sound good around 600-700rms?

it takes a clean 1000w to get the Q moving

I also have a Sundown 1500d running mine

so what kind of power works best for a Q then? 1000rms - 1500rms ????

im thinking about getting an ED9.1 for my 12 inch Q that should move it nicely correct?

1000-1200 works best. Only about 800 is needed to get it moving. I'd recommend something that does at least ~1000 RMS clean power.

Such as the ED 9.1.

Yes it will move it very nicely, just make sure to set the gains correctly.

Wrong.

Q15 Dual1 and a Kicker ZX1500.1 would do the trick //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
