[4 fi Qs or 2 BTLs]

its cool man and if you can afford it i say upgrade them that way if you want to increase power later down the road you'll be good to go. but two "stock" Q's should handel the Aq 2200 at one ohm no prob just set the amp correctly and you should never have a prob and since you say your new to this when you order the subs if you want to put 2 subs per amp and want a one ohm load have your subs be dual 1 ohm subs

Damn, thanks for ur answers and advice. I'll be getting the car and equipment in a couple of months when I turn 16

no sorry i dont have any knowledge about them and they are tough beast man just be smart with no clipping and you'll be fine

Thanks for the input though. I am doing some research and checking reviews on the Audioque and didnt find anything negative. I like their price too..to bad theyre out of stock tho. Ill probably wait and get 2 Audioques.

Do you think I should put 2 "stock" Qs on the AQ2200 and wire it down to 1 ohm. Srry, Im kinda new with all this

[4 fi Qs or 2 BTLs]

well is should get damn loud either way if you dont have an idea on amps i'd say either to AQ2200's or one AQ 3500.1

my fi q with bp takes a aq2200 at ohm daily so it can take the power

Thanks, if I get one I'd put 2 Qs on it. I don't wanna have to worry about it blowing. I was also checking out the Soundstream DTR1.2200 because i know that it's rated at 14.4 volts. Do you know anything about Soundstream and know if that rating is true?

i'd go with the BTL's but try to get more airspace

I'm getting a small Mazda Tribute though so at a decent height, I only have 13.2 cubes in my cargo area. If you add sub dispacement, port displacement, and the wood to make the woofer I have about just over 10 cubic feet of airspace. I'm thinking the Qs just based on the airspace

[2 18" BTLs or 4 12" Qs]

Depends on impedance rise, voltage drop, ohm load, supply current, wire gauge, etc.

Let's be somewhat general because I don't have all the stuff yet. Let's say 1 ohm, 1/0 gauge wire, and with the voltage dropping to 13.5 volts at the most

[2 18" BTLs or 4 12" Qs]

One more question..how many true watts do you thing the 2010d would put out at 1 ohm

[2 18" BTLs or 4 12" Qs]

In imho the 4 q's. More motor force. Plus I wouldn't put them BTL's in that small of a box with that little power. Go more like 7cubes per.

Im getting a small Mazda Tribute so I dont have that much room..only 13.2 cubes and thats not including the port, sub, and wood to actually make the box.

Which setup would play louder and hit the lows better?

4 12" Fi Qs

2 Hifonics BXI 2010d amps (2 subs per amp wired down to 1 ohm)

A ported enclosure tuned to 30Hz with 2.2 cubes of airspace per chamber.

OR

2 18" Fi BTLs

2 Hifonics BXI 2010d Amps (One per Sub wired down to one ohm.)

A Ported enclosure tuned to 30 Hz with 5 cubes per chamber.
