How Much Louder Would A Fully Loaded Btl 18" Be?


Recommended Posts

Right now I have two Kicker L7 15s being powered by a Hifonics 2607d. If I were to have a fully loaded BTL on this amp, how much louder would it be?

predicting is bad luck ive been told, so just hope for the best, it should be louder tho, and it will sound cleaner too, the btl will sound nicer, the l7 have a sound all there own

lol but I love predicting because I am always wanting something louder. I have been told that a fully loaded 18 BTL has roughly the same cone area but the cones are much better. Is a 5-6 cubic foot box good just for one fully loaded BTL and what is a good amount of wattage that will push this subwoofer?

1 18" has about the same cone area as 2 15's? i dont think so. especially with the the kickers being square. cone are of one 18" = 254.47. cone are of 2 15" = 353.43. and that's a round sub, so kickers would have more cone area being square

so imo...the BTL definitely has potential to get much louder, but given that you're going to have the same power, and drop in cone area, that it wont be louder. but then again the type of enclosure also comes into play. 80% enclosure, 20% build

i think with 1500 or so to eachL& in the proper enclosure they will be louder then the BTL.

cone area FTW!
