  1. How Much Of A Difference Would You Think If Any?

    if your doing that you bought the wrong subs imo

    well, i'll see what it is like with the 1 amp, power these 2 subs and if it fu*king knocks, I'll get 2 more 18"s and use another ad2200d amp to power these 2. Time will tell. I more then likely wont get my BL's for another 1-2 weeks (I just ordered them yesterday, so I have no idea how long it takes to get them) I'll start out with 2, and go up from there. On going projects are always fun.

    Here is my basic setup I have now, looking to see what you think the difference will be after all my new stuff is in.

    Currently in my 02 Tahoe:

    3 MMatts 12"s P2.5's in a very nice custom box actually made by MMatts themselves! (nice for living in WPB at the time)

    1 MMatts D1100.2 amp (running @ 2.6ohm for "ABOUT" 210watts per sub

    POS head deck made by panasonic

    HU powered Pioneers in all doors

    NEW SETUP

    2 Fi Audio BL 18's (fully loaded)

    Making box custom for my tahoe and tuned for these speakers (still in the process of figuring this out)

    1 AQ2200D amp for 1100RMS watts for each 18

    2 yellow top batts in rear, 140AMP alt from GM that I got for nothing, and works GREAT! (14.1-14.6 idle)

    JL A4300 for door speakers

    6.5" Components for fronts (havent decided which ones yet)

    pioneer for my rears but now getting real power from the amp

    with the new sub and MUCH MORE power, the bass hit should be harder right? Dont get me wrong, my 3 12's freaking hit really hard for what they are, but im looking for just insane car shaking now, and am hoping the 2 18'S will get me this. Thanks

  9. Which Of These 2 Subs Is The Better Choice?

    I think it depends on what amps you're going to be using.. If you're a bit short on power than the HDC3 looks good, but if you have a bunch to spare, the BTL is a good choice. Havn't heard much bad about either. I only have experience with the BTL's though...

    Edit... Those prices on the AQ's are nice though!

    I think im going to stick with the Fi BL's. I know what these sound like. I am going with the AQ2200D amp

    i dont have too much experience with mmats but doesnt that amp do 2700 Watt RMS @ 1/2?

    you might want to get some other model like the D2100.2 it does around 1600 watts at 2ohms

    The 2 18's each with 2x2ohm coils will give me a .5 ohm load after I wire it properly, that is why I would go with the D3500.05. 2700rms power (/)2 gives me 1350 per speaker, however mmats power I believe is rated @ 12.6v, so @ 14.4 (with my new 250amp alt) should make 90amps @ idle, and give me at least 14.5+ steady with load, so power should be at least 1500+ watts per sub. Can someone help me with the options on FI's site, want to get this ordered the right way the first time, and ya'll know ALOT more then me. Thank you

    if you go with rd's dont be surprised if he just happens to have some to sell you..lol just go with your original plans with the fi bl and just tell him you need a box thats it..

    Great, thanks guys, FI it is. Can someone help me out with the "options" on the FI site. This will be in my 02 tahoe, looking for spl, but daily driver. I'm typically not hard on my subs, but need them to last a while. I will be using a mmatts D3500.05, so i'm going to get the dual2ohm v.c's option, but need help with the rest if possible

    Configure Speaker: Ohm: dual 1 dual 2

    P Chamfer: no yes +$10

    Cooling: no yes +$40

    Flatwind: no yes +$20

    Daily or SPL: Daily SPL

    Extreme Lead: no yes +$5

    Universal: no yes

    Also, how much of a bass hit difference will these be (assuming BOX turns out right) compaired to my current 3 12" MMATT's P2.5's? I will also be doing the "big3" upgrades as I have a 200amp alt on the way. Thank you for your time...

    I live out here in west freaking GA, and have been talking to several local stereo shops to build me a ported enclosure for my 2 18's "BL" FI audio subs (if I get them) however, here is where my issue comes in. First off im old school when it comes to this stuff. Back when I was really into Car Audio I was in high school, and the US Amps where king, so I of course had a VLX400 and a USA-800 (both the 44" length models) powering 2 stroker 18's and it fu*cking knocked real hard. Talking to all these local stereo shops, they ALL RECOMMENDED me to the same guy to build the box, however, in talking with him I was told to get the RD Alpha2 18's as there a better speaker, however I have heard a FI BL 18, and that was a great time. Basically my question is this: For the price FI is cheaper, but has anyone heard of RD audio and is it a good quality speaker? This is my first post here so please take it easy on me :blink: . Thanks ya'll
