guimond47 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Hey guys what the difference between the two? Is the btl sp4 better because it has an extra 500 watts rms or? Ill be buying an fi sub today but i wanna know out of all their models whats the better one thanks ill be running roughly 2200watt rms at one sub soo let me know thanks Orion 2500D , 2-10" alpine type X.

We have seen the direction people are going with the BTLs and arranged the N2 specs to be closer to intended applications (huge, deep hitting, daily setups). Then creating the N3 to fill the void for the high motor force applications like extreme SPL or simply those that like that "sound". The SP4 pushes things a little further in the daily driver direction. While the N2s have proven to work well in 4th orders, they simply don't in sealed. The SP4 does just that, and a little better than the N2 in 4ths. It still works great in ported, with the ability to have a heavier peak down low as well. In testing it is a very solid sub that can take quite a bit of abuse. While not needed (none of the original test drivers we built had it) we do have the option for spaced spiders (2 on the top and 3 on the bottom) with a 1" ring between. In this configuration we have hand sewn on leads in between the spiders. In its standard configuration with 5 spiders and the gapped cone, it is a very stable platform (not a triple jointed sub. The cone is spaced about 1.125" from the top of the spiders. This stabilizes the coil better than the standard triple joint and is what we are doing on the standard versions of the SSD, Q, and BL drivers now). So which is better? I dont know...lol If you need every bit of weight savings you can find, then the N2. If you are tech oriented and have to have innovation, then the N2. If you need an even more abuse tolerant speaker then the SP4 is for you. If you want big, SP4. Sealed, SP4. Even more thermal stability, SP4. They each have their merits. Choosing the "better" driver is up to your application. I think the SP4 is in keeping with the times and applications people are heading towards. High excursion, stability, and thermal power handling... albeit at a cost of weight and depth over the N2 series.

fmedina Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 with the amt of power you have go with the n2.... I agree with the brz2400 the n2 would probably be the best choice for you right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guimond47 Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 Yea ? What featers should i get on the n2 then ? Orion 2500D , 2-10" alpine type X.

iLLsT0LZ Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 seems like the n2 is geared more towards spl and the sp4 is more of a sound quality loud sub... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
