Kicker Guy Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 personally I would go with the BL's over the Q's. In fact I would take the BL's over a BTL, they sound better for daily listening.

bigbodylexus Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Not trying to jack the thread but why the BL's over the Q's? (I have owned both Kicker Solobaric L5's and L7's and being honest there wasn't that much difference except for the power handling.) There are other variables when it comes to subs (enclsoure, vehicle) Quote 1990 Chevy Suburban (Big Booty Judy) (4) Sundown Audio Zv5 18's (1) Sundown Audio Salt 12K (1) Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (1) Sundown Audio SAE-50.4 (2) Crossfire ST-1 Tweeters (2) Obsidian Audio ST-1 tweeters (4) Sundown Audio Neo Pro v3 6.5's Saving 2nd Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoFearX18 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 John. You have experienced the Q. I say go with the BL's. dont stress and get a BTL... i think you want to keep the ass end of your car intact... seriously though. BL's! personally I would go with the BL's over the Q's. In fact I would take the BL's over a BTL, they sound better for daily listening. HIGHLY DISAGREE! and I've never heard a BL... my BTL sounds amazing.

There are other variables when it comes to subs (enclsoure, vehicle) Im 100% sure that the L7's sound much different. I owned a pair of them and they sounded great but they sounded unique...Mine were sealed but they arent comparable to anything Fi has I dont think... comparing them to BL's is kind of rough.

AI James Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 ive owned all of Fi's subs, i prefer the Q for everyday beating over the BL. overall better sound while still getting loud enough for any streetable application not sure if he is anymore but frankie rio was running Q's in the lexus and it was loud as hell and dropped low.

How can you disagree not hearing both?

NoFearX18 Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 How can you disagree not hearing both? My BTL sound great and its only on 2200rms... Ive heard the Q aswell. The Q sounds amazing in its own way and the BTL sounds great in its own way aswell. I prefer my BTL over the Q. Im sure a BL sounds somewhere imbetween. If I know John (Oldsboomer) like i think i do i think he will prefer the BL's over the Q. Quote My Videos AQ + AA/Fi FTMFW!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
