boomin Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Cant afford BTL.... So on 1000 RMS the BL and Q are the same loudness? I think im going with the Q then Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap
wL<3bass Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) The BL gets low... Don't let anyone tell you different...the BL is much louder then the Q, the Q sounds better but honestly with a well designed box the BL can sound very good... Edit: honestly if you've only got 1-1200wrms get the Q the BL doesn't really start to sing until given 1500+wrms Edit 2: oh and if you think the BL can't get low check my videos... Those were with a 38hz tune, I dropped the tuning to 33hz and the thing is a vicious low end monster...

boomin Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 what amp should i run on it? would my Elemental designs nine.1 be good to run on it @ 2 ohms (900 rms @ 12.4 volts) or should i get a bigger amp? Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap
EricR Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Like wL said, if you get more power then get the bl. With ~900w I would stick with the Q Quote i was thinking leave the 12 sitting in the box in the hole and duck tape from the bottom of the sub to the bottom of the baffle so the sub doesnt free air. would that work?
boomin Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 So is there anything louder/better I can get for the same price or cheaper as the Q? Or is the Q best bang for buck? and 900 rms is that too little for the Q? Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap
wL<3bass Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 What's the amp do at 1ohm? I'm not a real fan or follower of eD...

boomin Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 it does 1200 at 1 ohm but my car has a weak electrical (stock battery, 80 amp alt) so i cant run it at 1 ohm b/c it puts more strain on the electrical Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap
Maxim Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 I was deciding between 2 12"s and 1 15" and wound up picking the 15" because everyone around here has 2 12"s. It's been done over and over. And for 900 RMS get the SSD over the Q. It'll work better at that power. Quote wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt
wL<3bass Posted June 20, 2010 Report Posted June 20, 2010 Get a good battery the biggest you can fit under the hood or throw a second in the back and drop it to 1ohm...

boomin Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Posted June 20, 2010 Is there a really big notice in electrical strain at 1 ohm vs. 2 ohms? Or is it a very small difference? By electrical strain i mean less headlight dimming, ect Quote F/s: 2 custom made boxes, for 1 12" and 2 12" hit me up I'll let em go cheap
