Hadec Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I can't decide between the two and money IS a factor. So would it be worth it to go for the BL's?

cjvue Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 On what power? The amplifier power is also be a determinant factor as both drivers have different rating.

bokeson Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 It would be worth the extra money. and If you are going to run them at full power you are going to need electrical upgrades. Big 3, Upgraded battery, 1/0 everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big 3, Upgraded battery, 1/0 everything. So being a first timer here I should probably just go with the SSD's..? Edit: I do not know what amp to get either. So if you guys could help me out that would be great. Edited October 27, 2011 by Hadec Quote Working on my first car audio build ever!

poorfish88 Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd go with the BLs cause I always want it louder. Bls more room for power upgrades. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadec Posted October 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 I'd go with the BLs cause I always want it louder. Bls more room for power upgrades. IMHO The only problem with that is there is nearly a $300 difference in price just alone for the subs. I would have to get a more expensive amp and do all sorts of electrical upgrades.

cjvue Posted October 27, 2011 Report Share Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) If you're using a solid 1500 rms amp, i would go with the SSD. Between 1500-2000 rms watts will need to upgrade to the BL's.

Quote Just say no to Ground Pounder Customs. My temp system build log More box buildssome cars do over 170db with one sub, so clearly my two 12"s can do that in my car, with my knowledge too! look out bitches! I'm with captain stupid.

True, but from past exp I can til you that once the bug bites you you'll be upgrading everything. Nothing wrong with any of your subs you picked. You can't lose either way.
