bkolfo4 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 cause i know the BLs would move more than th BTLs but i have no idea if that would help me or hurt me.... How much it moves does not matter, other than mechanically destroying them. And box design is as big factor in how much the move as much or more than other variables. BTL will be louder even with just 1500 watts and will handle more power when you decide to upgrade. Go with BTL's if you have the cash to spend.

Sp33dyG Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 go 2 BL's fully loadedyou'll need the extra cooling but those amps will be perfect. I have the t1k and it gets loud. if you gave the same power to 2 BTL's it would just "tickle" them. your one 18 BTL idea sounds good but if you get 2 18" BL's you will have more cone area :hairtrick: id get the BTL's jus for the hell of it u no ur gonna upgrade later on so y not have the extra headroom for a bigger amp in the future Quote the only person i wouldnt let build my box would be Ray.

AI James Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 ida picked out the btl in this case as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrick824 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 We did a direct drop-in test between a Q 18", Bl 18", and Btl 18" (all d2 coils). Powered by a single Sundown saz-1500d the Bl was loudest on the TL by like 0.5db over the Btl and 2db over the Q. Next we strapped a pair of saz-1500s to each sub and this time the Btl was 1db louder than the Bl while both left the Q in the dust. Take it for what you want but in our testing on low power the BL was louder and, IMO, sounded better. If you plan on upgrading to more power later on then definately get the Btl.
