newbie needs help with 2 Fi Q 12's

[thomasb]

and yes i think i would rather have them sealed, that would make them sound better right?

[chud]

do you think two 3ft. cubes would fit in the back of a x3?

i wont have to get anouther battery for this system will I?

if so, i would rather go with 2 10's im trying to make it as simple as possible.

If you run the subs in a sealed enclosure, you'd only need around 3 cubes for the pair.

I doubt you'd be able to do 6 cubes in your vehicle unless the enclosure is built in-trunk. People do this all the time.

Yes, you'll need a second battery or a single battery under the hood that can handle the stress of an extra 2,000 watts on your electrical system. You'd need to do the big 3 upgrade, and a high output alternator might be needed too.

Buying 10" Fi Q's would only save room in your trunk. They'd still need the same amount of power as a pair of 12"s.

You don't have to run a pair of subs. If you don't have the room for a pair of subs or the budget to accomodate electrical upgrades, go with something more modest. To be honest, a single 12" or 15" Q would do nicely.

If you do run a single 15" Q, buy the 2 ohm dvc model and wire it to 1 ohm. The Audioque AQ1200D would power it nicely. As for the enclosure, you'll need 2 - 2.5 cubes sealed or 3 - 4.0 cubes ported at around 33 or 34Hz...

[thomasb]

on their website i dont see an option for the dvc model. maybe im retated.

is that the 15" you would go wit, the Fi Q?

[EricM9104]

There's nothing wrong with that, although I don't know why'd you want to tune so low, but there's nothing wrong with running them sealed either.

They get straight nasty that low. :spiteful:

Retated? Hmmm.

The options for the Fi Q are dual 1 and dual 2. It's the first thing on the list of options. You couldn't possibly overlook it...

[thomasb]

haha damn, its late bro.

aite then what 15" would you go wit?

[chud]

OP, you could also take a look at the DC Audio Level 4 and the Incriminator Audio Flatlyne & Death Row.

All nice subs...

[thomasb]

if you had to pick one lol i wanna order this b4 i sleep n i trust wat you got to say, so if you have to pick one 15" sub wat would it be?
