Well anyways I was suppossed to get my new sub about 2 months ago but I lost my job and other eunfortunate vents have pushed it back some more.... but finally the day has come! Anyways after this weekend im gonna be upgrading the big 3 with some jl 2 gauge wiring. Back to the sub, Im looking for an SQ based sub, I've been looking at JL, Diamond, Eclipse, and RE mostly now, but I thought I read RE's prices soared recently. Any suggestions, I'd say a budget of 225ish on the sub, I'm looking for 1 good sub.

What amp are you gonna be using?
For 225 I would say look for an RE SE 15" used. For around 280 you could get a Fi Audio Q 15".

right now i have some amazing ma audio amp but ill change that within a month, prolly just pickup a hifonics brutus amp, good power for low cost. but i have some p.o.s. ma audio amp, its only temporary, it puts out like 4-450 wrms.

possibly a fusion powerplant 12....run about 150 with good sq...

budget SQ?

Fi's Q series.
they're relatively cheap (uner $300 for a 12") and excellent subs.
designed by the guy who designed RE's subs, in fact.

Are you talking about the PPSW12E or the PPSW12H (although either will fit the bill)... heck 225ish could get him into a NVSW12 :)

if you or anyone have heard them, do they still get mildly loud? i belive people said the XXX's were great SQ subs that still got pretty loud for a DD... and thats what im goign to be looking for in my next install. i think.

mildly? lol
they get extremely loud. I'm going to a Q15 for my car till Geo gets his statement in production.

the q's arnt an spl sub though ??? the btl is the spl sub

so? the xxx is a sq sub and it gets loud. :P
