Gold Member Username: MendonmafiaUSA Post Number: 1075 Registered: Aug-06 | you need to make it clear what you are looking for either spl or sq also how much power do you have for the sub(s) |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17875 Registered: Oct-05 | how much power you got to work with evan? also there is no best fi sub. they do different things. like one is for spl while the other is for sq, etc... |

Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 50 Registered: Oct-07 | i want spl and power idc am tryin to do 4 15s and the back of my yukon and i want fi or i was going to do 2 12w7 but i think the fi would be louder |

Silver Member Username: BonhamdNorthern, Michigan USA Post Number: 173 Registered: Nov-07 | a BTL would most likely be louder than a W7 |

Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17876 Registered: Oct-05 | how much power did you have in mind? 2000wrms, 3000wrms, 4000wrms, 5000wrms, 6000wrms, 7000wrms, and god forbid 8000wrms? lol. anyways if you must go with fi audio, i would recomend the btl's. they get really loud. but for spl subs, they have a clean sound to them as well. to run 4 15s you gonna need alot of power. at least 10,000wrsm. so my advice to you is go with 2 18s with around 6000-7000wrms amps. you will really need to upgrade your charging if you haven't done so. also gonna need some extra batteries in the back. now if that seems like too much, you can go with their BL lines. only gonna need around 2000-3000wrms to run a pair of 15s or 18s. |

|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 51 Registered: Oct-07 | well on my price range i want to stay around 1300 for subs and i am going to go with around 4000wrms so would it be best to go with the 2 18btl or the 4 15 bl ? |

|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 52 Registered: Oct-07 | ok and that still would be could for spl right ? |
|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 53 Registered: Oct-07 | and that would be could for spl right ? am tryin to get louder the 6 13w7 with 3000wrms or 4 12w7 with 4000wrms i know am not going to beat that but i want to be close |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17884 Registered: Oct-05 | does your friend have that setup or something? i think 4 15 inch bl's with 4000wrms have a shot at being louder than 6 13w7 on 3000wrms or 4 12w7 on 4000wrms. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 54 Registered: Oct-07 | yet both of my good friend have those set ups and so i want to be around there with out spending what they did |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 6774 Registered: Jul-06 | If you have the room go with 4 18'' BTLS and give them 1.5k RMS each for 6k rms total. You should be good with that. You might as well step it up if you're going with a setup like the ones mentioned. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 55 Registered: Oct-07 | ya thats way to much then i want to spend am just tryin to build a nice spl sytem nothing to crazy i know am gonig to need some bat or mybe even a alt but am not tryin to put in like 3 alts in a million bat |
|
Platinum Member Username: BestmankindWEST COAST RD AUDIO Post Number: 17889 Registered: Oct-05 | noooo not maybe even a alt. its a must. before you go and get all that stuff, you should get a high output alternator first. it shouldn't be hard to find for you car. |

Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 56 Registered: Oct-07 | what amps do you think are good for 4 15 bls |

Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1418 Registered: Oct-05 | He also built a box to no-specs for the havoc tho. I dunno I love my havox |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rPost Number:... Post Number: 6778 Registered: Jul-06 | Jake knows what he's doing Andrizzle. He liked his ED subs over the Havocs so that says something. |

Gold Member Username: Denali_on_22sThe kids like my rhyme... Post Number: 3937 Registered: Feb-06 | we wouldn't know considering you havent made a vid or anythe driz... you ftl. evan, just because you have 4 18s doesn't make you more likely to need electrical upgrades. it's the amount of power you are running. not to mention you said you want to beat 6 13 W7s then you say you want "nothing to crazy?" |

Gold Member Username: Andrew571Stillwater/Edmond, Oklahoma USA Post Number: 1420 Registered: Oct-05 | I know reece, I owe you guys videos like hardcore. I feel bad for it, school is kickin my as$ right now so work with me here :]. Ill try for something this weekend. And Rob, I dunno if you saw the thread about Jake being dissapointed. But his port was pretty constricting for the size of the box and the drivers intruding into it. I feel like the box I have built for my 15's is almost ideal. I am very happy with it. Ill vid for you guys soon. |

Post Number: 6782 Registered: Jul-06 | "and thats what i want to do nice subs less power so i dont have to do to many upgrades i know i need a new alt and prob 2 or three bat" Well four 18''s will get louder than four 15''s on the same power if given the same suspensions. |
|
Bronze Member Username: EvanyukonPost Number: 58 Registered: Oct-07 | well if i did the 18btl i would only do 2 and if i did the 15 i would do 4 bl so i have enough space for both..and i kind of want to do 18 just cuz no one has any here were i live |
