They are a direct company. No phone number. Yes you can order. Yes there are people there. Yes it is safe. When you get your order will depend on what you buy and what options you get. All of that information is on their forum www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum

His ownership shouldn't sway you from getting one. It is my personal favorite driver in it's price range bar none.

no extra options. just a dual 1 Q.

the hertz sub was very musical and accurate, but lacked output. my germs dominated it in terms of output. then i got the arc sub, but it was having noise issues (i suspect the former coming unglued from the cone). sooooo after reading buncha reviews, i took the bite and ordered the Q.

Nice! Did you read mine from their forum? Just curious. I didn't do the bp option either, you will see it is not needed.

Correct, if you disregard the IB modifications. Glad to hear you made your decision. You won't be dissappointed.

The BL's are nice too. I don't think they sound as good. Not bad by any stretch. They are designed more for output than SQ. I have always been a fan of the IDmax's, well the old one's. Not a fan of the newer versions.

It'll be happy either way. I prefer ported personally. This is one of the first drivers I have not thought could benefit from a sealed enclosure. You will see what I mean when you get it installed. It is one of the most linear I have heard.

if it's anything like the brahma subs...then i'll be happy. those xbl2 motors were sure nice.

thinking of puting the Q in a t-line enclosure. never built one before, but i've been doing lots of reading and research on it. if done right, the sub will absolutely pound.

Not for you if you want loud, they really aren't that much louder than a bass reflex enclosure until you start adding some positive taper, than the enclosure gets HUGE

They are more efficient, but also lack power handling...they are also difficult to design properly...people always assume to tune to the FS of the driver, which is actually the last thing you want to do...
