Gavin Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I'm looking into picking up 18's for my new build. I was thinking about FI, my question is.. will the fully loaded BTL's handle 4 Goliaths in a DB Drag setup? :weight_lift: :weight_lift: Right now, I'm using Atomic APX18D1's. www.competitionsoundz.comTeam R&RTeam MaxxsonicsTeam DC AudioTeam PowermasterTeam KinetikHooker car audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtxcivic07 Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I would say that if you turned the gains down just a little bit then you would be ok.. but that all depends on the wiring configurations you plan on going with. are you planning on running under that 1 ohm point? or you wanting to run it .7 ohms? tell what voice coil configuration you are planning on buying, but if it were me, i would not load the full 5000 watts into them. thats asking for them to blow. 18's in a wall to come....Its not all about the posts....check the member #...

galacticmonkey Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 for strictly burping, just slam as much power as you can afford at them. for music, stick to 3000-4500rms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it is for SPL so I would like to give them as much power as possible but... living 6000 miles away, I do not plan on ordering recones every competition. As for the coil config. I would go with the .7 coil config. How is FI on recones? fair price, expensive or cheap? www.competitionsoundz.comTeam R&RTeam MaxxsonicsTeam DC AudioTeam PowermasterTeam KinetikHooker car audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM, this will be for all out spl but... your answer does not help at all. Back to my original question, can the fully loaded FI BTL's handle 5k per sub? :^ www.competitionsoundz.comTeam R&RTeam MaxxsonicsTeam DC AudioTeam PowermasterTeam KinetikHooker car audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 I'd throw 5,000rms at it for no more than 2-3seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 for a burp that BTL will take 10K if its in the proper enclosure. meade is putting damn near 5k on them for music, they dont stink, smell, nothing, they get warm but nothing they cant handle.

Tremor1127 Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Back to my original question, can the fully loaded FI BTL's handle 5k per sub? :^ taken from the great 12" challenge at ROE... "Build quality is very good Somewhat inefficient in power / output conversion. the most most abuse tolerant design on hand SPL Box testing was limited to 10,000 watts because the amps ran out of gas Woofer will be ok with musical content over RMS spec (under 6000 watts) Woofer will be ok with SPL burp power over RMS spec (under 9000 watts) Woofer soaked up 6000 watts RMS for as long as we put it to it." the btl will laugh at 5kw burps...
