Fi BTL or AA/SMD 18s Help!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hmmmmm I was wondering... I heard amazing things about both the Fi BTL 18 and the AA/SMD series sub 18. But for 1 18 in the back of a SUV which one would you prefer? Which one is Louder? I know AA and FI is like nearly the same company but im actually now thinking about adding a AA/SMD 18 with an AQ3500?

Im leaning torwards the new BTLs on a AQ3500. So should the BTLs be fine on that amp? without totally worrying about blowing the coils?

BTL and Mayhems are a better comparison.

SMD is a pretty good step above both for daily. With 3500-4000 watts, it is going to take more abuse. . .

Current system:

1997 Blazer - (4) Customer Fi NEO subs with (8) American Bass Elite 2800.1s

Previous systems:

2000 Suburban - (4) BTL 15's and (4) IA 40.1's = 157.7 dB at 37 Hz.

1992 Astro Van - (6) BTL 15's and (6) IA 40.1's = 159.7 dB at 43 Hz.

Interested to know which one you got? I am in the same boat now. SMD or N2 mmm

Loudness is no substitute for musicianship, and partial deafness is no badge of honor. I was once able to hear this advice.

SMD FTMFW! but seriously, haven't heard anything bad about the SMD lots of people say it's a very good sounding sub and loud, you won't be disappointed with either of them though.

edit: damn I didn't realize how old this thread was, smh at myself lol.
