No need to add the BP power if you give them 1000w RMS each. With the BP power, i'd say you can give them about 1100-1200w.

If you have the money, go with the BP power and just put ur amp to it's RMS power, not the speaker's power.
 
Look up Rms/peak on the FI Q's if 2400 watts (divide by how many subs you gettin') is between the Rms to Peak, but not close to peak, then you in the clear. It should be fine though. Can't see nothing happening unless you try to draw too much power from amp..then the amp will make you smell something you don't want to...cuz you FRIED it! but his is what i found



550 (RMS) at 4ohm
1100 (RMS) at 2ohm
1700 (RMS) at 1ohm

The BP power option will just add a little extra power handling to the sub. It doesn't mean that the efficiency of the sub changes. So if you power it with say 1000w RMS, for example, it will be the same output with the BP option as it would without the BP option. The BP option would just let the sub handle a little more power then without it.

If you set the gain properly you will not need to worry about the Qs blowing. With the BP option you will be able to power the Qs a little more but again, if you set the gain properly your subs will handle the power fine.

Good Luck!!!
 
Right now I have 2 15" kickers the cvx models and My amp is a Memphis Mojo 2400 and the cvx's hit hard ass heck.. but i'm gonna upgrade to the 15" fi q's to have a little more sq and hit better on the low end! but i'm concerned about how well the Q's will hold up compared to the cvx's.. ( i do not intend on turning up the bass or gain on the amp or radio) i am gonna run the exact same power to the q's as the cvx's.. will they be fine or do i need to get the BP option? and i don't wanna have to crank the amp due to the power gain on the Bp option!! any suggestions?

Fi is over hyped and overrated... a good sub shouldnt need to be "fully loaded"
Try looking into RD Audios Sonnance subwoofer... it blows the shit out of the CVX and the FI Q
