6 or 8 18" BTL's in the suburban

[steven]

Ok I just got of work and I want to clear up some thing. I have 4 exact same 18" Fi BTL D2 fully loaded subs. Tristan560 you are WRONG. I only have one sub that is different and that is the one that is the newer mode. You are again talking what you do not know and ask the person I bought it from "btlcavalier" if I said I would switch it to a triple stack BTL. Quit talking what YOU DO NOT KNOW!!!!! I am not upset, but I hate when people run their mouths about ish they don't know about. I guess man.... Oh and Marlo, I plan on running AQ 3500's, BUT I will only be putting 2500-3000 on a daily, the other 500 watts will be for competition, I will not be doing 7000 per sub that is crazy. lol. I am not confused I am asking for the opinions on this forum. I will make my own decision, but it will be based on this poll. I know that it seems like I am in wayyyyyyyyyyyy over my head, but I promise this will be done right. I will be going to professional installers. Trust me I got this. Thanks for all the advice. And Tristan560 I am not saying that if Scott said it to me I know it all, but if I said I will keep the 1 newer motor BTL, Scott did say that there is NOTHING wrong with that. But Tristan I do appreciate the advice.

my bad I didnt know how many you had that were the same. Not trying to bash on anyone.

I hope those "professionals" your talking about don't end up doing the same work like the fools that did to john price tahoe lol...

[Marlo Stanfield]

No problem that is why I asked Tristan to stop bashing me. I only have one different sub and that is the newer motor one.

I have no doubt that Tristan know his stuff, but he was incorrect about my subs and made a big deal out of it.

Me too I don't know who that is, but I dont want no mistakes lol

K&N Audio

I am researching different shops, but I may stick to them.

[Marlo Stanfield]

Never heard of them and couldn't even find a website for the shop... Where is K&N audio out of?? Do they have any sort of experience doing a build of this nature before?? Your average installer WILL NOT have the know how and abilities to properly design and build a system w/ 8 18s and 20k+ watts. I hate to keep bringing it up but even Price's 4 15s and 20kw install(which is difficult in its own right but much easier than yours) was absolutely butchered by a pretty reputable shop from what I've heard of them.

There definitely are shops out there that have the abilities to do something like this. A quick example would be G-Monk's old 24 15" setup in his Chevy Express Van that was extremely well put together and BRUTALLY loud. At the time he was pulling some of the loudest bassrace numbers on the planet and it was daily driven. Only downfalls were that the van itself was being torn to pieces and for he didn't have the best electrical to back up the amperage he was pulling. I forget who did his setup but he did basically what you're doing, buying all the product and having a shop do the install for you. Sometimes it works out extremely well(in G-Monks case) and other times it can be damn near a disaster(Price's case).

Ok I will def take this into mind. So the next question is where are some great shops that CAN and WILL do a exceptional job with a build like this? Marlo I appreciate that. I didn't think of it that way. They do a great job, but I want the best for this install.
