Would a Fi Q do OK with 600 watts?

As the title says, until I can upgrade to a bigger amp in a month or two? I have an Alpine MRD-M605, and I could send 600 clean watts at a Q until I upgrade to a new amp...

Thanks guys.

Sure it will work fine...just won't be at its full potential.

Thanks!

No problems if the gains are set correctly.

Alright thanks guys, just making sure.

Now I'm assuming a 15" Q will get louder than my MAW-15, correct?

I never heard a Maw, but IIRC, they are only 350rms I believe. So it should, but most everything is install dependent.

Maw-15 is 500 RMS.

The Q is a much superior driver, so I'd imagine it will get louder off the same amount of power.

I know as soon as I get a zx1000.1, the Q will screaaaaam. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The maw might be more efficient off that powre...who knows...

If your going to upgrade power a month or two down the road its a no brainer, get the Q and upgrade down the road

blinkodog had his 18" Q in 4.5ft^3 @ 32hz (i think that was the box) running off of his jl 500/1 and it was impressive.

Unless you're planning to upgrade the amp soon, I'd go for an SSD with copper coils.

Will work fine, but if you're sticking to that amp for a while, I think the SSD might be a better choice

i put my fi Q 15 with a rockford fosgate t5002 (bout 1000 rms) in my friends explorer while he waited for his 2 maw 15s to come in. when we got the maws installed with a cadence txa1000 they were just a little bit louder that my one Q 15
