Oh well, I'll work with it.
1.55 cu ft. is actually too large, per the website. For the FI Q 12 you can have a sealed enclosure ranging from .8 to 1.5 cu ft. Mine enclosure is closer to approx. 1.3 cu ft. of usable airspace.
It hits the higher bass notes real tight, since it's a sealed enclosure. At the same time, it'll dip into the 20 something hertz range also. Either way the sub reproduces the notes extremely clear. Just make sure you have absolutely no leaks in your enclosure...
Those damn sealed enclosures can be so pesky about, well, actually being sealed. lol

look at what i am posting , match your rms, budget, and net sealed space to pick the correct woofer for your best results

at 55 on your amp you are filtering out quite a bit of midbass
if what you did sounds best to you that is important
it is preferance , but i like 80 as i like more mid bass

So, he's actually NOT "double" filtering the sub outs in both the HU and at the amp, as it would seem. Well, at least not if his Pio HU works like the D3 does... which I suspect it would.

I guess I should've specified that I'm going to be trying to fall into the larger end of their box volume spec, but that 1.55 ft^3 was not subtracting the displacement of the driver. So I should fall somewhere close to your same usable air space. That being said, I was only using the 1.55 as a "general" figure to help me plan my install, it won't be easy nor will I know exactly how close I can get to that till I have my interior torn out and take some final measurements.

US Amps
Zed Amps
McCintosh Amps
CDT Amps
RD Audio Amps
Sundown Amps
Digital Design amps
either choice is a winner
i would get a DVC 2 ohm sub and run @ 1 ohm
use a 1 ohm stable amp
i get RD for the low low
hifonics amps for SPL and stetsom as well

i use a D3 as well
on the d3 sound settings you have a HP filter , you have a subwoofer icon that allows another LP setting, you also have an eq icon that allow for low , mid and high setting and here on the low you can go to 40 hertz if you want
