how much power can you throw????

the SX will take a solid 1000-1500

the BTL will take double that. lol

true there that is why im trying to see which would be the better sub. i have heard good things about both of them but i have heard the sq is better on the btl and it gets lower than the sx.

depends on what your looking for.. that BTL is not going to have much SQ.. its SPL oriented. Those two subs you are comparing are not in the same ballpark. Most closely compared would be the RE SX and the FI SSD.. You can also run that SX without doing a major electrical upgrade but now for the BTL you'd have to up your electrical more plus spend more money on power to feed it. Question is, what are you looking for? They are both well built subs but made for a different purpose.

YES!Peer pressure:-) I know you can fit them in there, you just have to believe :-) You and I both know you wouldn't be satisfied with the 15's and you would always wonder...."I wonder how the 2 18's that I passed on would have sounded?"

Lol Chad...don't you try that Wal-Mart brand mic bullsshiit either lol!Break out the good ol TL and show us what's up with those subs.Unfortunately you still can't join "The Eighteen Inch Wangers" sorry.Hmm this is a tough one because you are currently using an 18'' sub so for the time being you can be one of us.However...once you go to the 15's I have to exile you from the crew,it's just the way it has to be :-(

Chad take the back seat out and have them firing towards the driver? that way you can see out of your rear veiw just not clearly because the thign will probably rattle off

take you backseats out chand and have the 18s firing towards the front? youll have plenty of room and you can still see out of your rear view but not technically because it will probably shake off

What if the baskets sat in the trunk and the port and box sat where the back seat was?Maybe then you could fit the 18's?

he coud fit them, but 18s need to be in the correct size box, sacrificing will hurt... thats why there are 15s... I bet each sub would like 7cubes EACH! to really peak... actually 1 18" BTL in a fULL wall would be louder.... than the 2....

Well...lol,Chad has made up his mind and we should all support/respect his choice on the 15's.I'm sure he has trouble sleeping(Probably Having Nightmares) already with us nagging him to get the 18's.You get those 15's Chad and Wang em so hard China will hear them :-)


You are Chinese right?

Well...I don't know any korean's really.I knew some from an old Tae Kwon Do school but other than that none...I've never known anyone Chinese either(Only Jackie Chan)-just kidding.But I don't know anyone chinese.I've had sex with a girl that was half Japanese but that's the closest thing to an Asian I have ever met besides the Koreans...I don't know where I'm going with this but I probably couldn't pick out a chinese in a group of all Koreans :-( Oh yea Doesn't Phil's name remind you of Salisbury steak?Ya...that crappy stuff.
