Supercharged DCs Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 His best option may not be running the FI BTL, obviously an error in the first install caused it to blow. Who's to say it won't happen again? He has already stated that the system was "professionally" done, so I'm sure he isn't ready nor willing to redone a subwoofer and build an install around it. Just because he has the subwoofer doesn't mean it's the best for his application. Hell, I have a DC Lv5 18 sitting in my closet and am looking for a smaller woofer that doesn't take as much power to get moving. Is the Lv5 18 my best option still mate? Bassless once again.

kam311 Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 He wants to run 2600 watts, I'm pretty sure it's his best option. And you jumped the gun on your system mate, you should have planned better. I'm just saying he has the sub to make a great system, why are we here suggesting other companies highest powered subwoofers when he already has one the can hang with any! We should start concentrating on how the hell he blew up a BTL on such small power. We should be teaching him how to make a box, how to tune it, how to set his gains and what amp to get. The sub was definitely not the problem in this set up. We should dial in and find the actual problem, not just make a bunch of sub suggestions that will blow up just as easy or easier! That's fucking horrible advice "mate"... so far...

That's fucking horrible advice "mate"... he's the one who asked suggestions. he has the right to do what he wants with his system. just because YOU think the btl is the best option doesnt mean he does. I think he should switch to 2 15's gives him the most cone area given his space. i do support your comment that he needs to know how to set up the system though. hence why i said right off the batt to set the amp correctly. as to the box, im sure he could slide one of the guys here 5 bucks and have a great design so its not an issue. plus, if he were to sell his blown BTL, he could about pay for one of his new subs and not have to worry about the hassle of a recone. you can do you dude, let him do him 1999 Ford ExplorerTeam Sundown Audio4th 2012 Db Drag WF Street Stock 150.8dbYoutube Channel!http://www.youtube.com/user/BoomyurblownOperation 156 No wall Build Log!http://www.stevemead...x/#entry2196123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodzyspl Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 Answer me one question, have you ever owned a FI BTL? Or are you talking out of your ass? [/quot. but what difference that make? i got what n8 saying aswell. did exactly that went hang around local guys who compete and learn from them, now i go around there and help build boxes and i been doing it less then a year. building that is.. i went from buying prefab to help build 150 boxes with shitty equipment and lowish power..should have been better how i explained it, take time to learn with people who live near you..

Supercharged DCs Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 I asked that because he is talking as if the BTL is a godly subwoofer, and I want to know if he is justing basing his opinion off of he said she said, or if he actually has experience with the woofer.

I'm just trying to help him understand that that sub is not the problem most likely in this instance. 2 15's would he an upgrade in cone area and I'm not talking about your comment, that could he a good suggestion. But I'm talkIng about the people suggesting a level 4 or some other sub of the same, or lesser quality. You can make your set-up loud, probably the loudes in your area. You just need to learn how to make the correct box and get the correct power to it. And yes supercharged I do have experience with them and have seen them, shit I saw Meade plug one into a wall socket for a few minutes and couldn't even blow it. I'm not even an FI fanboy tho thats not even the subs I run or would run if I had unlimited budget. I just know that is a very capable driver, it just needs a capable user so far...
