which sub would u take...need advice

[memphis_vette 10+ year member]

ok so earlier on i want to know differ of SQ from Q to bl...my box is tuned to 35hz at 2 cubes

the Q is made for lower than that 28-33 hz

BL is made for that 30 -37 hz

BTL not sure what its made for

i have a 1998 corvette...dont have much room for another 12

and dont have the height for the 15 (want to be able to see out of rear window

i like loud but of course need sq too cause it will be for daily application

when i get sub (next month or less) i will be getting every option

but i only have 1400-1600 rms to work with...bxi brutus 1606d

should i go with a btl which will be underpowered or a bl?

advice will be highly appreciated

thx for the help

Hifonics brutus 1606d's are overrated the way it is, so the BTL would be very underpowered.

get a Q not a BL or BTL.

Q u say....what about the box hz...not to noticeable since only a couple above recommended

bl

The power you have should suffice.

ok so i have 1 vote Q 1 vote BL im leaning torwards BL i want the sub to take the power with no problems...amp blowns then ill get a saz 1500

 

[memphis_vette 10+ year member]

keep em coming still undecided...but how about this...im will be looking into amps later on too...so should i under power th BTL then get new amp or just stay with BL

what is the SQ differance from BTL to BL

 

[bumpin buick 5,000+ posts]

I second the BL but I doubt there would be a huge difference between that and the Q on the same amp in the same box

You know, I'm gonna have to change my vote on this one... I'm an sq guy. I would prefer this factor to "loudness" any day, when considering a driver.

And in staying relevant to this convo, I would choose the Fi Q.

2 votes BL...ok i will still look into this...thx for the advice guys highly appreciated

 

[memphis_vette 10+ year member]

so if u would stay with fi Q...and ppl say BL is barely ne differ in sq but made for higher hz and it fits my box specifications...wouldnt it be better to go with the BL?

 

[vasilios 10+ year member]

The general premise is that the Q should have the superior SQ, as is stated on Fi's website.

yea i see what u mean...i will look into further thx...and how do u make an account on fi? have to buy sumthing to make account? and ppl say u can look and see what every upgrade on woofers do...but where?
