AI James Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 yup im paying attention to wattage...my ssd sounded better on 400 watts then my l5 on any wattage and for 200 bucks i feel its by far the best put together speaker of the 3 he mentioned. im just a fan of getting the best speaker for the money and IMO the SSD is a far better speaker even at given wattage then both the other options.

Enellz Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 is anyone payin attention to the 600w rms from an alpine...?who cares what ssds do on 1000w... it comes down to whats the best soundin and most efficient use of 600w rms max it's still good to let him know though. The SSDs sound great on 600 or 1K. It gives him room to grow also if he plans to upgrade. But once again the Fi gets my vote Quote 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AKA The Batmobile Pioneer 6000UB Sundown SAZ-3000D 2 Audio Q HDC3's 40' of 1/0 Gauge 2 Big Rear Batteries A 38 HZ Box KICK ASS!

Decaf Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) looks like he's gonna get a 15" ssd then, lol (my experience with the ssd was unimpressed so thats why im biased against it, but likely it was the install from the sounds of it) Edited December 4, 2009 by Decaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI James Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 also i prefer the copper coil option as apposed to the alum...just sounds better to my ear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUZEBINN Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 You guys im going for total dB... and I don't appeciate being called a newbie, sure im not running two 3500 sunddowns and two 18" FBL's or something... but I used to own 13.5" W7's when I wasn't broke... I'm broke now so im going for best bang for buck, I heard the CVR's will be louder for NOW but i'd be barely running the RMS per sub so its sort of a waste when it ruins my whole upgrade ability to two 15's in the future that will hit harder. If the L5 will be louder with less SQ then thats my sub if the Fi is equally loud with better SQ obviously thats my choice, you guys tell me.

AI James Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 the Fi is better all around then the l5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOUZEBINN Posted December 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 the Fi is better all around then the l5 OK, by now I think im going with the SSD... I mean for $200 new you can't really beat it, which adds my question.. If the Fi is better than the L5 in every way including SPL than why the hell is the L5 like $300-400 depending where you buy it and what side... $200 just seems extremely cheap for a decent 15" Also if I had two 15" SSD Fi and a 1600RMS amplifier how loud will my car be?? Another question will that vent IDEA work if I put a 15" round port between my rear speaker deck as opposed to buy a fold down seat for $100 which I really don't want to do...

I think I'm going with the Fi SSD I really like the AQ audio subwoofers the deal on them is awesome @ only $140 for a 15" but TBH I'm looking for more RMS than 600 on a single sub for future proofing.. I can't run more than 1,500W to my CAR without my new altenator going most likly... So 1500-1600 is my peak RMS range so the Fi's would be perfect it seems.
