To 3 subs.

Fi Q12 Price $249.00 (shipped)
SoundSplinter RL-p 12" ($230 not sure if Shipping is included)
Stereo Integrity Mag D2 ($$$??? waiting on email)

One of which will be running off my 1000/1.

Not really interest in mad SPL just some good SQ drivers. So out of those 3 what are your thoughts?

Out of those 3 I like the Q.
I haven't heard one in person but have been hearing really good things about them.

Same here I have heard good things about them. A friend of mine will be putting one in if it ever gets here cause the mail can be so slow sometimes but if it gets here I will let you know how it sounds

The Mags are the best performers in the 3. But that comes with a hefty price tag. In the big 12 test session, the Q didnt fall far behind the Mag. The price to performance i would say goes to the Q. The Q will take that power no problem. The power you have is a little on the high side for the RL-p too. So based on getting the best for you buck, I vote for the Q.

Yeh my 1000/1 was a bit much for my w7 but I just insured I adjusted the gains properly.

10 or 12. If its the 12 you don't need a 1000/1 to push it, but it isn't really to much. The 500 will push it fine, but the 1000 ain't going to hurt

All should be able to drop your jaw. Are you sure you wanna buy a new sub before trying out a new box with the w7? How do you have that set up anyway?

The w7 was in a box made by my local JL shop. Built to specs in a ported enclosure. And it's already been sold.

I'm running 2 15" RL-P's in ported boxes and SQ is excellent and they'll get plenty loud when I need them to. I throw around 800-900watts at each one.

I've only heard 1 set up with 2 12" Q's in a sealed box and it didn't sound good at all. I'm guessing it was the settings on the HU as they were very muddy/boomy sounding, no SQ at all, but they were loud for sure.

I agree that all 3 are considered very good SQL subs. The Q and RL-P are priced similar, and the MAG is priced higher, but some say it's worth the extra $$$. Can you demo any of them locally? YOUR ears will make a better decision than ALL the internet feedback in the world....
