Jeremy1998 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 I am looking at making a Home Theater setup... I am thinking about 2 Fi Q 18's in a ported box. My question is: How good would it sound good on the lows if it's underpowered. I don't want 2kw rms in my living room, for obvious reasons. So, would they hit the lows nice on 300 watts each? How about 500 watts each? I saw and it seems to be very nice at 350 watts rms. So how would two sound with the powers mentioned above? Please remember this is a HOME THEATER system. It is totally different from a car, so I don't need the same amount of wattage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Fizzy Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Usually we can't tell you how it would sound, but I can tell you. 2 10's, in a t-line, tuned in the low 20's, would sound awesome on 2-300 rms each.

Cool, but I'm already sold on the 18's. I don't wanna deal with those stupid t-line boxes. I just want a simple ported box that is tuned low (18 hz im thinking right now) that will sound clean. So does anyone know how a Fi Q 18 performs when underpowered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainzPlanetz Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Why not get a Subwoofer designed mainly for Home Theater Use, this is less than half the price of the Q and has great reviews, also is rated for 300rms so will work great with the power you have http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=295-475 Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

Size isn't everything, I am will to bet on the 300rms you plan on using the sub I posted will get lower and louder than the Fi, Why would you buy something that you never plan on powering properly. if you want to spend extra and not get the potential out of the sub be my guest, and about the paper cone, why does that matter from what I deducted from you post this isn't a patio system. Edit: So after reading you post history I see you are 12, I suppose you are also that pro box builder that was on here as well, either way it's gonna quite a few years worth of grandma's christmas checks before you get one sub, so post back then Edited July 7, 2011 by CaptainzPlanetz Quote ¿ǝɯɐƃ ǝɥʇ Trolls never learn............

Honestly, why do people play the age card. It just makes you look like a little fuck. And just so you know, both my grandma's are fucking dead! Happy?! My parents came to me and asked me to build a home theater system for the movie room in the new house... So fuck off, and don't be a faggot who uses the age card...

Woot you proved you have a small vocabulary and act like a 12 year old, I gave you a reason behind my choice but you seem to only be interested in subwoofers with the biggest magnet rather than what would work well for the power and application presented.
