Fi Or Aq?

[Coolwazabi]

i'd say the bl's.. i heard the AQ requires high tuning like 40hz

I love my aq's but with that kinda power I'd say go with the bl's. The hdc3's don't really start reaching their full potential until around 1700 -2000.

Not true, build a more efficient enclosure and 1k is more then enough.

As far as the OP. Both are good and will get the job done. AQ's are cheaper so if cost is a concern.

AQ's in the right enclosure with the right person at the controls can take upwards of 2k all day everyday

Very true. In my experience with AQ you can run a single 5k on a pr. daily and not have any issues. Once you get above 2500+rms things can get a bit sticky. LOL

Not true. Although DJ recommends 38-40hz tuning they will play well below that and do it convincingly.

Agreed. Just because they will take more doesnt mean they won't shine with thier posted rated power.

For the money it's hard to beat thier performance.

Another vote for AQ. why? because they have more xmax, motor strength, and power handling capabilities. Not to mention a carbon fiber cone also.
