Winn Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 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? Winn You know how you avoid that? Man the fuck up and bang her best friend sister mom cousin worst enemy and never look back. JUST SAY ANTI-AUDIOPIPE

bkolfo4 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Posted October 24, 2010 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. Build Log>>> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...pid=672024& New Build Believe in the order
TRTC360 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 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.
