So are you saying to turn the amp's crossover potentiometer to the highest cut-off setting now? It's currently at 55Hz and sounds great to me..

 

your amp LP is at 55 on the RF and your HU LP is at 80???? is this right

 

Jesus Christ on a cracker. I hate paypal. Oh well, I'll work with it.

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.

Those damn sealed enclosures can be so pesky about, well, actually being sealed. lol

 

i prefer 80 hertz on the amp and LP on HU off

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

 

Yes sir

 

No doubt. lol

I've pretty much decided on the FI Q 12". I should be able to easily accomodate the box volume requirements. Now, to find an amp to match it well. Oh, and if you sell 'em, I'll definitely shoot you a PM when I'm ready to order in a few days.

 

I'm not a big fan of midbass. Actually, what my front door speakers kick out is fine with me..

 

I have a Pio HU, the D3, and my HU has the same adjustability. BUT... it's not a LP filter on the sub outs. The setting is actually an adjustable high-pass filter affecting the front and rear speakers outs/rca's.

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.

 

Just a real life observation. My Rockford P8002 is rated at 800 watts RMS @ 4ohms on 1 chn. It has more than enough power to push the FI Q. IMO, it actually has more "umph" than the speaker needs. Other brands of amps may differ though, in regards to true power output...

 

they accept Visa , MC , Amex i sure

 

my favorite amps are
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

 

that is why your happy with your settings

your fine

no worries

for me i can't run at 55 hertz , cause it will meter lower DB

i use 80 hertz daily on my LP
at competition i raise my Lp to 125 hertz

this is the loudest

 

 

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

 

I had no idea my thread would have caused such a big impact. FI should send me some freebies...

 

Somebody had to be the Z33 guinea pig.

 

 

hey guys, i was thinking about getting an fi q 10 (1000 rms) after reading this thread and was wondering if this amp would be ok with it

thanks for your input guys
ps. they really should give you some kickbacks vo

 

If you got the dual 2ohm sub and wired it in parallel to 1ohm, that amp will get the job done. For the price it might be hard to beat.
