What amp are you running? Are you putting it in a sealed or ported box? The amount of power you're throwing at the woofer and the enclosure design will determine what options you'll need.

Cooling: The 2010 Q now features a solid pole piece that allows the addition of the Helicool cooling system that will allow an additional 200-500 watts of power handling depending upon install and scenario. Bottom line this option increases thermal power handling capacity over a “Stock” Q. 



P Chamfer: This is a chamfer on the end of the pole, it helps to bring the air down around inside of the motor and helps cool the coil better. It also helps relieve the pressure underneath the dustcap. Please note if you select “Cooling” this option is included in the cooling package.



High QTS: This option is for users who intend on using the new Q series woofers in only a sealed enclosure.



Spider: This option adds an additional spider to the spider pack to help with mechanical power handling and keeping the moving assembly under control.



 I Heat Ring: This option is a machined aluminum ring in the gap that lowers the inductance of the voice coil which allows it to play up a little higher in the frequency range and have better overall transient response. Please note that you can NOT select low Qts and the I Heat Ring options together.

so will 1 15" Fi Q handle a AQ1200d at 1 ohm? wat do u guys think

[412 CVX]

i think it will handle the 1200 d no problemo, as long as you're not clipping.

as far as the options go, This should help you out quite a bit.

My setup is really similar to what yours could be. I'm running a Q15 on an AQ1200 @ 1 ohm in a 3.8cu ft box tuned to 32hz. The only option I got on mine was the extra spider. And yes the Q will take on every bit of the AQ no problem. The newer Q's are beasts.

How does it hit? I was going to be getting the Q also once I get the money.

[canderton01]

It's not a BTL or an SMD, but the Q series is notorious for belting out the low lows and being musical, plus it can still get pretty damn loud. In short it is a damn good woofer and yes it does hit lol But if you're saving up for a Q, be sure to get a decent amp to match.

I was either getting RF t1000-bdCP or 1500 for it.

The FI Q's are badass, but on a 30 day build time right now I believe. Worth that wait if your not in a big rush. just incase you didnt see the flashing bold red text on their website on the Q's.
