DWeezy3one3 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 BTL !!!! They seem to handle low impedances better. 95 Subaru Legacy Kenwood 915 Streetwires 1/0ga Monster Rca's. Looking for sub and amp =]
loganberry Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 BTL FTW!!! My F-150 Build GET ON THE BANDWAGON what if they tried messing with the amps when the subs werent louder hahah jk
fourlug Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 BTL !!!! They seem to handle low impedances better. uhhh....Anyways, are you going to get the BTL's loaded? There is a huge price difference between the two subs. 9500's for sale? (and what size?)
slim8605 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 I'm gonna say HDC3 because I was thinking about doing a pair. They are cheaper and from what I've heard they handle about the same power. I've owned a few BTLs and I've heard the HD3s(not the HDC3) in person and they got loud and sounded pretty good. They were on 4 SD SAZ1500Ds. I guess you can't really go wrong with either. 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock

audiofanaticz Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 They seem to handle low impedances better. Congratilations, that is the stupidest/funniest thing ive heard in a very long time!!! I sub will play the same weather the coils are dual .75, 1, 1.5, 2, 4 ohm etc if giving the same power. The coil impedance virtually has no compromise on sound quality (unless your building a SQ system, which if thats the case, neither sub will be good for a sq install compaired to some others on the market). All the coil impedance means is what your amp will run at. Yes, the lower the ohm your AMPS are being played at causes a higher THD (total harmonic distortion). But even still having your sub amp being ran at .5, 1, or 2 ohm you will hear no audible distortion if your amps are set correctly. You cant really compair a btl to a hdc3. Why, because the prices are different, the specs are different. You are compairing a 2000watt peak sub (hdc3) to a 2000 watt rms sub (btl). There is a couple videos on the net of a btl 12 compaired to a hcd3 12. BUT the amp was being played at a .5 ohm load for the btl, and a 1 ohm load for the hdc3. So the hdc3 is not even seening all the power that the btl was seeing. The ab 500.1 puts out ruffly 4700wrms by 1 @ 1ohm with 14.4 volts, so at around a half ohm, it is at least putting out 5200+ wrms. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=16476 Me, I would choose the audioque because they are not used as much, and they are great subs. IMO Steve Meade FI Btl's as popular as they are, and many people think that you will be as loud as him if you get the btls which is completly untrue. The btl's are extremly great subs at a great price with great customer service however. There are other people that tried extremly crazy stereos like meade, using the btls and failed hardcore, but mostly because of their lack of installation which Steve has on lock down!!! Either sub you chose will be good, most people are going to say btl tho.
slim8605 Posted February 12, 2008 Report Posted February 12, 2008 I agree 100% 1998 Toyota Camry XLE V6Goldwood GW-S650/4 6.5sEA 200a alt2009 Lancer GTSStock
