right now i have a RE SX 12 and when i first got the sub i was happy but now almost a yr later im lookin for something a bit cheaper but more SPL while maintaining good SQ. i would like to spend about 600-700 on subs, 2 15s would be my 1st choice but would settle for 2 12s. any suggestions?

Which would be pointless....

Cheaper but more SPL than a SX....

FI Q..."The Q Series of subwoofers is our sound quality reference line."

I don't think the Q will get him the SPL he is looking for. With 2 Q's you might get the same output as a single Sx, but I wouldn't go that route if you are looking for more output.

Just something to consider.

Umm sorry but the 12" Q will out do the sx in SQ and SPL and IS cheaper than the sx. The Q is comparable to the XXX.

That is true.

The old Sx's have more output than the old XXX's.

The XXX is a SQL driver, while the Sx is a SPL driver.

The MT was the top of the line SPL driver for RE, while the Sx was more of a mid level one.

So if the Q is comparable to the old XXX, it won't have more output than a Sx.

I've read a lot of speculation, but has anybody actually heard any of these subs and compared them? You cannot simply guess what will be louder because you heard other people takling about it, or because "if the Q is comparable to the old XXX, it won't have more output than a Sx."

I'm glad you know this for a fact.....
