VistaV6 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 I am planning a system for 1 Fi BTL 18". I am not sure about what to get it with (all the options for customization) so if anyone knows what I would want for just a normal daily sub, I want the best one I can get, but not one just for SPL only and not daily use, let me know. Anyway, people are repeatedly telling me that the BTL's can take way over the 2000 RMS power handling safely, and daily. My question is, is this really true? I am not trying to spend and arm and a leg for an amplifier, so I am looking at a Hifonics Brutus amp that can push 2000 @ 1 ohm...and also a sound storm labs amp that can push 2200 at 4 ohms and 3500 or so at 1 ohm. I would like to know which one of these I would be better going with (or if you have another ~400$ amp that would be better). If your vote is for the SSL one, let me know whether you say go parallel or series. Please nobody post me a link saying buy this $800 amplifier. Quote SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it. "You didn't have an ice pick on you? Amateur. " -- Wax from Fchat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treossi Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 if the enclosure is right, it can handle the 2k rms, theres plenty of people throwing 4kw at them daily Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VistaV6 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Not interested in used stuff. I am just curious as to whether you guys think the hifonics one (2000 @ 1 ohm) or the SSL (2200 @ 4 ohms, with the option to go parallel to 3400 @ 1 ohm) is better. Just worried that the SSL amp might not be very good quality. Quote SUCCESS is a decision, NOT a dream. You have to name the price you are willing to pay to get it.

thehoe92 Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Specs Options smokeumtires is running a RF t3000 to each of his 18" BTL's and it slams. may be out of your ball park for cost... my friend had a hifonics amp and said the thing barely ever got warm running 4 12's. he switched to sundown and likes sundown even more Quote Wouldnt be thehoe92 without teh purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 i would go with the audioque. its cheap and works well. its a step up from the hifonics, which is more power hungry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
