Looking for 12" sub that handles 1200rms

[72impvert]

Wont be disappointed with the q I know it, they are great sound quality. May I ask y 1200 wrms?

[Facekicker]

I run an Fi Q 12" in a 33hz box and love it.

I do wish I could have gotten the high qts (sealed box) version but I got it second hand. Fi does NOT recommend running the Q in a sealed box unless purchased with the high QTS parameter.

Can i ash why you want sealed? is it a space thing? please don't say its for better sq because sealed boxes sound like crap... unless there freaking huge!

everyone who competes and wins in the professional sound quality Comps have vented or ported boxes.

don't want to sound like a jerk but its a Shame

to put any of those subs In a sealed box.

if its space id go with a vented 8 instead of a sealed 12. but i like to hear all my music call me crazy

[Facekicker]

I could be wrong here, true SQ is new to me and I admit it.

But my thoughts are that you could get more output with a flatter response using 12" sealed than you would with the 8" ported/tuned, generally speaking.

I'm interested to know OPs answer though as well.

I'd easily take a single Fi Q 12 over most any single 8" driver for advantages of cone area and bandwidth(in a proper sealed enclosure).

The single Fi Q 12" sub will sound great in a sealed box, you won't be disappointed.

Also, OP, there there are the Soundqubed HDS300 series subs. The RMS rating on those is exactly at 1200W I believe. They are very new, but also very affordable and worth a shot. They would also work in a sealed enclosure.

try the RE XX. 1500 rms. great for sq and will do nice in a sealed application

also boston acoustics make a 13'' woofer that i've heard shits on the w7 line.

cone area isn't everything. putting a fi q in a 1.2 cubic foot box would sound good. but putting a sub like the Meso 8 in a 1.2 ft box... id take the 8. it will play lower and be Just as snappy.

now if you put that fi q in a 2ft vented box yea fi q all day.

Most sealed boxes dont play below 40hz and to me that sucks!

even a ten in a 1.2 vented box wOuld (imo) be better then sealed.

you Get a wider range of music.

will the sealed 12 be louder... maybe

but the smaller vented sub will sound better!

you can't argue that.

if anything get a 10inch fi q put it in a 1.5 vented box tune to 30hz and enjoy!

from someone.who has had plenty of sealed and vented boxes with all sizes of subs vented sounds better!

what kind of music do you listen to?

[omg_spoon]

Like everyone said. Get the q

its not a shame to put a q in a sealed box. especially one with hi qts

havoc is another option.
