lets do some math

ok so im having some trouble deciding what to get, i know im going to be running 4 subs, hopefuly 18's. i was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions to get the most bang for the buck. here is what i have priced out so far, as a base i priced out my origional idea of

4- 15" kicker CVX- $450 per sub, $1,800 for the set of 4

then i decided that i can definatly get more bang for my buck, so i ditched the kicker idea, and so far i have just priced fi car audio.

4- 18" FI SSD- $229 per sub, $916 for the set of 4 (better, but too low power handling)

4- 18" FI Q- $294 per sub, $1,196 for the set of 4 (ok, i guess)

4- 18" FI BL(4" coil)- $324 per sub, $1,496 for the set of 4(im liking everything about this one)

4- 18" FI BTL N2- $434 per sub, $1,736 for the set of 4 (hmmm still cheaper than kicker)

so i guess the point of this post is what subs will give me the most bang for my buck, im leaning towards the FI BL with the 4" coil.

thanks for your help

Kicker CVT, where the hell did you find a shallow mount kicker for 450 bux? thats fucked up haha, BLs or Qs for the best bang For bucks Id imagine

Damn whoever is offering you those CVTs is ripping you off. I think that's Kickers cheapest line.

But both the BLs and BTLs would be good choices.

dont get a 4" coil, the added weight often offsets the extra power handling. add the price of the bigger amps and electrical upgrades you will need with the btl compared to the SSD.

The only setup that would even last one the Warhorse would be the BTL N2s.

An SSD definitely won't handle 4x its power lol. A BL or Q, don't even think about it (unless you REALLY know what you're doing)
