TyC2010 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) I have 3 Kicker L7 12's right now and i really like them but im looking for bigger. I dnt know which i should chose kicker solo X 18 or Fi BTL 18.

bigbodylexus Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 You really don't want us to tell you which one to buy because it may not be the right one, now I would personally go with the Fi BTL, it's nothing against Kicker (I actually run SoloBarics in my Camry right now) but the Fi seems to be a better subwoofer from what I've seen and heard, I would listen to them both, look at the pros and cons and then make that decision based on you and not us.

tacomabanga1986 Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 there was a guy on here who ran 12 18'' solo x's in a van n it was loud to hear but didn't do much on numbers tho, like 158+ on music, i kno thats loud as shit but 12 18's should be damn nere 160 or better, but i kno its hard as hell to sqeeze dbs out of a damn car, i might be 140 in my truck lol, i want to have a 150 on music sometime later down the road but the solo x is a stiff ass speaker, we got a radio shack here that sold car audio n they had one, i think $1,200 for the sub and a 5000w earthquake amp in a box n it was so damn big it looked fake but ive never heard a btl in person but from what i seen n heard in vids it seems to handle power n sound good doin so, but cant u run 4 bl or q 12's vs 2 btl 15's? and does no one run re subs anymore? i want a set of the new re sx 15's Quote here's a link to my system 99 toyota tacoma , 2 mtx 8000 1504's in a sealed downfire , 1000w memphis amp here's a link to my other system my 90 geo prizm test car heres a thread i got of new songs u can dl that are legal = Some Good Bangage/you Can Dl These Free And Legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhart Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 both will hammer, if you want to go 2 18"s and the X is too much money then the btl is the one for you. you could also look into DC, Sundown and AA, they all make great 18" subs.

enemyofsilence Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 and does no one run re subs anymore? i want a set of the new re sx 15's i do and i would go with the Fi. They are both great companies but i had kickers before my RE and im glad i made the switch. and i have heard btl's before and IMO the btl's dominate every song you throw at them. i wont go back to kickers anymore (not that i have anything against them) but there are a lot of good companies out there like mhart said ^ that make great subs.

Torres Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 i've had both. 2 18" solo x's, and 4 15" btls. i liked the btls WAY more than the solo x so they get my vote. the solo x's were somewhat of a pain in more way than one too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
