I would look else where for spl, towards peerless XLS or XXLS. I will be getting mine in soon....so Ill let you know what I think.

Actually the Q is the sub from Fi that is more SQ oriented.

Im going for a SQ setup. Obviously the RSD is going to cost quite a bit less, but does anybody that has experience with both subs know which sounds better?? I listen to alot of trance/techno and some rock. Obviously loudness is also a plus. Thx in advance.

Im getting an RSD sub really soon. Now im having trouble deciding which size. I have 6.5 comps up front and I need something that will play low, hit fast and acurate, and blend in well with the front stage. Will a 12" help me get a little louder? I listen to alot of fast techno like trance or D...

Im currently running some JL XR comps and I think they're great. Im also running some other Phoenix Gold stuff (amp/ RSD12) and I think the quality for the price is just insane.
