Which sub?

[pinkfloydms 10+ year member]

Ok so I changed my mind about getting jl, I think I am goin with the Fi.Q now. My thing is I was planning on getting 10s(mainly beccause of price on the JLs) but now looking at Fi I can get 12s for like $10 more. What are the main differences, between the 2, they both say 1000w RMS and they are going in a sealed box so there isn't a huge space issue. Also do I want the dual 1 or 2 ohm voice coils, and what is BP power for $40? The amps will be 2 alpine pdx-1.1000. Tha car is a 99' 4 door blazer. Thanks.

Both the 10" and 12" Fi Q have the same motors, just more cone space on the 12". If you have the space, then the extra cash for the 12" is worth it. The voice coils all depends on what amp you plan on using for the sub. Dual 1 can be wired to .5 or 2 ohms and dual 2 to can be wired to 1 or 4 ohms. The BP power option allows for 200-500rms more power handling depending on application.

Hope this answered all your questions.

Thanks, so which would be suggested for more of a sq set up the 10" or the 12"? I have polk mmc6500 components and a pdx4.150 for them so I don't wanna get too loud with the subs so that I can't hear the mids/highs. And since I will be using the pdx1.1000 I really wouldn't need the Bp power option right?

If you were planning on getting a 10" then just go with that, you will be happy with either. And no you wouldn't need the Bp power.
