Is this a decent trade?

Whys that Tim? Used both of them? Or even one of them?

the SSD series is just a huge SQ series. if not a complete SQ series.

i was considering getting a pair but on the FI website they even said the SSD's are recommended for a sealed box.

i like getting loud so seal was clearly a no go for me.

and i feel as though DC are higher quality products.

if it was a FI BL than maybe but SSD, no thanks.

What makes DC higher quality than Fi?

To the OP I'd go with the 18" if you got the necessary space.

Question wasn't answered if you've used both or either before. I will put your mind to rest when I throw a couple Fi SSDs in my Isobaric push/pull setup and get loud while murdering the lows. That SSD is perfectly fine in a ported box and will sound amazing in one that's built properly(as with any properly built box).

i ran my no option ssd on my saz-2500 @2ohm and it killed the lows and never got hot
