creyc Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm trying to figure out which sub to put in my blazer. I'll be running (2) subs, 18s most likely. I had been running 15" Havocs and they're loud and sound great but its not loud enough. I've been wanting to run Fi BLs for a long time but it's quite a few bucks. Optionally, I could recone my Havocs to 18s with upgraded soft parts and coils (8-layer alum) for half the price of the BLs. I have a feeling they still wouldn't be nearly as loud as the BLs however. What would you run run in my situation? Amp is a SAZ-3000D at 0.5 ohm DCR on strong electrical. I want to make a decision soon, I'm fiending for bass.

thehoe92 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 how many of these threads can we possibly have? build the box right and any of those subs will pound. I have the BL on roughly 1500 watts and it does 145 in my tahoe you do realize that the owner of ascendant audio also owns Fi so the products are fairly similar. and why not look at some other brand?

Derrick824 Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Never messed with the AA but I liked the Bl over the lvl4. I also ran a pair of Bl 18s off a saz-3000d @ 0.5ohm and it was a great combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the mayhems, they handle about twice as much power as the havocs, get louder and sound good doing it.

Decaf Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 nightshade lvl4xl aq hdc3 alum death penalty ^they all should be louder on the other hand reconing and alum coil + stiffer spiders on the havocs will raise fs, lighten the moving mass and make them "louder" depends on how much u want to spend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creyc Posted July 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 I'm trying to spend as little as possible, while still getting quite a noticeable improvement. Basically I'm trying to get my money's worth. AA Mayhems are a bit out of my budget, and BL's are pushing it. I was about to order BLs earlier today but felt like bouncing the ideas off a few people who've actually had experience with these particular subs so I'm sorry its a boring thread x100. I listen to music, so I'm not looking for something that will only play high. I know lots of people use HDC3s for SPL, but I've never heard one on lows/music. This sub is getting me very interested however, and the price is very reasonable. How would it compare to a BL on music?
