wL<3bass Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Well the ssx and the havoc handle way more power than the t2 and the bl. I would say compare the btl to the ssx and havoc. The nightshade is s good choice too. The only sub i have heard out of those is an 18 ssx and it sounded good. Maybe look into dc audio too. They really are all good choices though so budget is really what it comes down too Not even close... The BL is rated at 1000wrms STOCK and the Havoc 1250wrms.... I was throwing every bit of 1500wrms+++ to my 15" BLs in 4.1 cubes a piece... I would put a loaded BL against a Havoc anyday as far as power handling.

nCOMP1337 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 im a AudioNoob so this comment is based from my experience in the research ive done trying to begin my first car build well i think everyone can say those are all respected brands, i would suggest comparing the t/s parameters of the subs, see how they compare and for what price gets you what kind of power, also as someone already stated some subs are capable of more power than is rated so for that of course you would need to hope someone with experience with those subs will comment i know rockford fosgate is good brand,but i would lean more towards the others, either Fi or treo, ive never seen the nightshades so i couldn't comment on those, AA is nice too or else steve wouldnt have gotten his own line, although i think they were specially made so they may not be anything like the other lines of AA except for brand not sure the price on the treos, but i know FIs have some nice power for reasonable price id think, also i suppose it depends on what you plan to hook them up to, how compatible they may be to the amp/s you plan to use and if you want room to upgrade or use these subs with as much potential as you can grab from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlstrass Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 I'd take the AA or BL in the right enclosure and tuned low... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skittlesRgood Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 the BL and the havoc are the same woofer. the havoc just has the most popular upgrades from the BL. just so you know. and either one of those will be great. never ran them but my friends do and they are performing wonderfully.

Noob_On_Droid Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 get whichever one gives you the best customer service within your budget. If it were my ride with those choices I would go with the AA drivers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassl0va Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 ok but i want to know i want sq and really loud and be able to hit lows You won't get all 3 in one sub, if its really loud, it wont have awesome SQ, if it hits really low, it wont be really loud. You can get a woofer with a bit of each though.
