Who is giving their Fi Q's the most power?

[Proximity 10+ year member]

Just curious as to how much people are running them on to see how much they can take.

Also include if you have the BP option and size if you reply //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

My old setup was a 15" FI Q powered by a PA 2400db(rated 1800 @ 1ohm) and it took it like a champ.

edit:

mine was w/ the bp option

15 Fi Q on a Bxi1606

How much wattage? BP option?

I ask because I'm thinking about a aq 3500d instead of the 2200d which would be about 1700w versus 1100w and I don't want to roast my very expensive Qs.

what kind of electrical?

If they have the bp option they should have no problem taking the power, a while back i remember a few people running sundown 1500s to them no problem, and those are supposedly underated a bit.

Even then, if they don't take the power you can always turn the gain down a tad...

Unless you're chasing every last dB, it's not needed...

You don't think so?

also it's going in a sealed enclosure

Mine are running off an AQ2200D @ 1 ohm, getting about 1100wRMS a piece.

exactly....probably won't make a diff to the ear.

If you MUST run that much power then get BL's...

got my Q on a sundown 3k.....lol........... @ 4ohms, so 800rms or more, no BP option.

Aq1200 to my 15" Q. No BP option.

18'' Q w/BP on a saz-1500d @1ohm nominal. My DCR sits @ .8, and my voltage rarely drops below 13.2v. I havent clamped it yet, but I pretty shure I can safetly say at least 1500wrms at the levels I run it at.

I have not smelled coil yet

i was using a hifonics BXi 1606D, powering 1 15" Q w/o BP, and I had to gains all the way up and it was fine for about 6 months, then one day it blew my sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Exactly. Your not going to notice a huge difference, the sub will already be pushing it's limits as it is. 700-1000 is all that is needed for a Q. 1000+ is a much less noticeable difference.
