Btl Vs Hcca

[Kicker Guy]

both get nasty on the lows. both are good. both can do http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/hairtrick.gif who cares.

im not mad....

i said "do tell" and you told, so what more can i say

if customer service is gettin bad at Fi, i dont know anyting about it.........my BTL's dont have problems, and im 14 months into my latest ones (new style) so i have no reason to call for service. If i did, i would use my "hotline" anyway.

so ya, if you had a prob and they "fucked the dog" on helping you, sorry to hear that! I dont work there i just run their products in my personal vehicle.

My appologies as well for assuming, I love the BTL's and I don't think there's a woofer on the shelves today that sounds better and produces the spl that they do. But I guess the first thing I should have asked this guy (OP) is do you have an amp already? and if so, what is it? That would be a better question to ask him in helping him make a choice on which way to go, based on ohm load.

Put both subs in proper enclosures and I bet the HCCA will reproduce the lows better. I gaurantee the BTL will be louder hands down and more than likely sound a little better. I have installed BTLs before for guys that don't know shit about stereos so to me, they are everywhere (almost as bad as JL). I wasn't around in the audio world five, tens years ago. I haven't ever seen an Orion setup and I have been to a lot of car shows. They are just not around like they USED to I guess. I have played with one HCCA 15.2 tuned to 28 hertz and I was pretty impressed. I have installed an 18" BTL and two 12" BTL along with some other FI subs. Yes they are absolutely amazing, but I will never run them as long as there's brain dead morons running the same shit in my town. No the BTL DOES NOT HAVE CRAZY LOW END. Sorry, I don't care how low your four or eight BTLS get. The Hoopty better get low with eight 18"s. But were not comparing 8 BTLs to 1 HCCA. The box does make the subs, and I would rather run an HCCA before FI because now a days, they are unique, old timer. Remember, its not the name brand we are taking about but specific subs. Point is both are great subs, BTL is all around better sub. HCCA has some high points. I would run the HCCA. My opinion. No need to tear down others opinions, that disrespectful, just voice your own Mr. Meade.

Im sorry, but you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. I've had numerous low tuned setups and the BTL's have been by far the loudest I've ever owned on the low-end. I currently have them in a wall tuned to 28Hz, and they have absolutely no problems hitting the lows. BTW, joe (00sdime00) had 4 15" BTL's and was hitting [email protected] then again I guess if he would have swapped in HCCA's he would have been 155+ then right? http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif

If you want SPL numbers get the BTL... the HCCA wastes most of it's magnet with a tiny top and bottom plate that are completely over-saturated.

bro you are on dope if you think a BTL cant hit the low lows.......i dont need 4 or 8 18's to do it, i can do it with 1 no problem. Your straight trippen - the BTL will go as low as ANY sub. And no, i dont give a fuck what you think or say either because i know im right..... so there

Ok whatever. Your opinion is my opinion. Get a BTL. They're the best. Nothing else is worth trying. Dr. Meade is right.

been giving my BTL about 4k rms for the last year or so , been going to every single db drag / bass race event i could and the sub has yet to do anything other than perform flawlessly. My vote goes to the BTL, oh and the lows are amazing.

see this is the problem, you emo fuck.....i said at LEAST two times that i dont care what someone runs. You can buy a sony explode, you can get a HCCA, you can get a fucking funky-pup.....im down with it

- your gay ass reasoning (that the BTL's dont have lows) is the part i disagree with. Now go cry in your pillow you whining homo.

before anyone cries more and says im too harsh, i apologize in advance, that was the first thought that came to my mind when i read the post.

i apologize for sayin it but i cant say i dont mean it

I think people bad mouth the BTL just to spite you Meade. They just want to "stick it to the man" and talk out of their asses.
