babyjoker Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 I see. So I guess the Fi BTL 18'' is best for people with large vehicles such as SUV's, Hummers and trucks. Hmm. I guess it works for cars too but it has to have a lot of space for the box like a wagon. Normal people wouldn't wall off their backseat like meade's honda to put 18''s An Fi BTL 18'' in a car trunk = no way right? i got one in my trunk, got mine for the wow factor mostly, other wise i would have gone with many 12'' or 2 15'' 1999 Eclipse N/T 12'' Fi BTL Gp3000d PM D3100

ChampN252 Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 Not to knock on Meade and his 4 18"s (lucky bastard), but I thought you should get more output from 4 15"s right? The 18"s shouldn't play bass notes much lower and the 15"s should be capable of playing more notes harder. I myself want to do 4 15"s because I cant fix 4 18"s, but I still think the 4 15"s should out perform. And with the MT vs. BTL, how could a sub with a limit (BTL) out perform a sub with no limit (MT). I haven't check lately, but there was not wattage rating for the MT. 2012 Honda Accord Radio: Pioneer AVH-4200NEX
kbreudi Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 MT>BTLIs this true? Then why did steve swap his out for BTL's...Yea the MT's cost a lot more retail, but are they really better?

AI James Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 its pretty much personal prefference, since RE doesnt throw any information whatsoever out there on the MT and theres so many variations of both subs, its pretty much use specific as to which ones better
