greatblack Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 (edited) So i hid some of my christmas money and i found it haha i had hidden it from myself and forgotten about it, any way i have enough money to buy a fi bl or a q 18" i'm looking for a daily set up. i've heard the q is only an sq sub while the bl gets louder and sound good. what i want to know is which will sound louder to the ear not a meter. please help i'm probably going to buy today. this is going to be going in a 2002 acura mdx so an suv if that matters EDIT all i want to know is how much louder will the Bl be over the Q and is it worth the extra money. also someone said the bl is more punchy can any one elaborate on that.

iKidwell Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 the q can get loud pretty loud as well, but the bl has a HUGE MOTOR!! and with that 18" you're excurtingness is going to be 120% more excurt than if it was a 15. Just remember to tune to 35hz cuz thats always the best tuning, but i don't think 18's can change box size, 15's can. Quote c'mon now, if i was shooting an 8 year old, it wouldnt be MY 8 year old. i recently got a Pyle PL1590BL and i was building an enclosure for it tuned to 25 hz. i didn't have any tools to cut a circle so i hit it with a big hammer. 2003 Infiniti G35 Sport Sedan Build in Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
