Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 921 Registered: Nov-05 | Well if you get the DD 9515 and it disappoints you .. you can always sell it and get another BTL... or two |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend Post Number: 6387 Registered: Aug-05 | the BTL fully loaded will handle more power than the DD 9500 |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google is your Friend Post Number: 6388 Registered: Aug-05 | hmmmmm i am noot sure what the third magnet and ^xmax coil does to the power handling(i am sure it increases it a bit) but i dunnooooooo if it will be able to handle 3-4 daily like a DD 9500....dunno. lol |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 122 Registered: Sep-06 | will the dd9515 sound better than this btl 18 and will it get louder and lower cause i have heard good things about the dd 95 |

Gold Member Username: SouthernrebelMonroe, Louisiana USA Post Number: 3408 Registered: Mar-04 | Some of you on here remember Johnny, right? He used to post pretty regular on here. Well he just replaced his '05 RE XXX18 w/ a fully loaded BTL18. He is running an RE 36.1 (only 2 of these amps were every released...1800wrms). He went from 143dB w/ the XXX at bout 38hz to 146.3dB w/ the BTL at 30hz. That is w/ a direct drop in!! Not sure what he metered at 38hz...he just told me what he did at 30hz. I'm 80% sure the box is 7.5cuft tuned to 28hz. 146dB+ at 30hz....that is rediculous! I got to hear his XXX18 when me, him , and robert put on a comp in Laplace, La, and that XXX was a low bass monster. I'm trying to talk him into bringing the BTL18 up to my comp in west monroe, La. His truck is a early 90's chevy ext cab...they like to peak at ~50hz. He is planning on building a box tuned to ~40hz pretty soon...  |

Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 125 Registered: Sep-06 | what all dose he have on his 18 cause i only have the hixmax coil and the third magnet if he has more than that i want to send mine back and get more done to it |

Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 134 Registered: Sep-06 | lol it is a 9515 every one telling me it will be louder and better than the btl18 with the two mods i had on it |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas vegas, Nevada United states Post Number: 38 Registered: Sep-06 | i think it is more of application. but until u hear the difference between the two... check this out ( stevemeadedesigns.com ) look for the (4) btl 18's video... pretty cool!

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Google, use it Post Number: 6513 Registered: Aug-05 | i think it is not going to be louder....lol they will both handle the same power...and the BTL had more cone area... 254sq.in. > 176sq.in. of cone |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 135 Registered: Sep-06 | so muddy you saying i should have stayed with the btl |
|
Silver Member Username: Tremor1127Post Number: 230 Registered: Aug-06 | you gave up your fully loaded btl 18 for a dd 9515? bwahahahahahah, sorry, ive made mistakes before too... |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 136 Registered: Sep-06 | well i was told that the dd9515 would get louder than the btl but i have not order the 9515 yet so i still have a chance to go back with the btl 18 and give it more power cause i only had a 2000watt soundstream on it |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas vegas, Nevada United states Post Number: 45 Registered: Sep-06 | what ever floats the boat... good luck! |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 137 Registered: Sep-06 | lol i checked out that video and when i get my a suv im going to get something like that forreal lol and like right now im trying to get either another btl 18fully loaded or a dd9515 for a crazy daily driver |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas vegas, Nevada United states Post Number: 58 Registered: Sep-06 | try a 15" btl. honestly an 18" btl will work with 4 cubes. the 15 will work in a 3.5 cube as well. the motor strength of the btl is over the roof! btl's have no warranty due to what it was designed for... abusive spl! yes people buy it and use it for daily but ur hearing it from me... those things are MONSTERS! btl= built to last. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 138 Registered: Sep-06 | so your saying i can go with a fully loaded btl and a solid 2000 watt amp and beat a re sx 18 |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas vegas, Nevada United states Post Number: 59 Registered: Sep-06 | hell yeah! put another 2000 watt amp on it and hang on! steve meade has got 4000+ watts to 1 18" btl and thats for DAILY! that 18" has ultra sensitivity for it's 1w/1m. i thought you talked to scott? |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 139 Registered: Sep-06 | i have talked to scott and the guy that build the dd subs and im stuck in between i want to hear both of them formyself cause kevin told me taht the 95 will get louder than the loaded btl and then you guys are telling me the btl will be louder so im stuck in between lol dont know which way to go with this |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas Vegas, Nevada U.S. of A. Post Number: 77 Registered: Sep-06 | hmmmmm... it's all up to u now... good luck! |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1047 Registered: Nov-04 | i have an idea lol, get (2) AQ HD3 15's and (2) 2000 watt amps and dominate them both, its alot like the 9500 even made in the same buildhouse and owners of each company are father and son |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 141 Registered: Sep-06 | that setup sounds good but im going with one sub that will be a crazy daily app. cause your saying that one dd9515 will be the same as to hd3 15s then that will save me money and be crazy for one sub |
|
Gold Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 1048 Registered: Nov-04 | no i'm not saying that 1 9500 is as good as 2 AQ's there practically the same thing and unless you run more than 3000 watts per sub you wont notice much of a difference at all, and the AQ's are only 374 shipped so it would be a little bit more than running one 9500 |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 144 Registered: Sep-06 | so one aq would be better than the dd9500 if i power it right. how is the loudnest the sq and the low bass on this sub |
|
Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 180 Registered: Oct-04 | Better listen up sql. According to the forum, there isnt a sub on the planet that a sub made by FI isnt louder to the ear, with better SQ, that goes lower, with higher SPL, on the market, made today, by anyone....EVAR!!!!1!!omg!!! /sarcasm |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 145 Registered: Sep-06 | so your saying stick with fi for the better sq and louder sub |
|
Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 183 Registered: Oct-04 | Sure, they are the greatest subwoofers ever produced in the world bar none. The "end all....be all", has finally been produced. /sarcasm <---- If your unsure of the defintion, look it up, and get back to me. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 146 Registered: Sep-06 | so inother words your being funny and saying the fi is not a really good sub |
|
Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 184 Registered: Oct-04 | Havent run one, i couldnt say, tho others can, and they havent, which amazes me. Scott appears to have done a very good job on the build, selection, and cost. While they spec well, and the price is right, they still cannot be the perfect choice for every single application ever mentioned. Period. Speaker building didnt just begin yesterday. Other than the value i see nothing that is so special it warrants a pat "Fi" response every....single.....thread. Would i try one? You bet, ill try anything once. Would i suggest owning? Time will tell. Would i suggest every thread? Never. Do i think its the loudest sub ever. No. (application dependent) Do i think its the cleanest sub ever. No. (application dependent) Do i think were taking the fanboy thing a bit too far? Yes Sir! While my hat is most defitiely off to Scott for what he has accomplished, and do not wish to harm sales in any fashion....i must say, some of you, need a reality check. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 6007 Registered: Oct-05 | don't worry renegadesrun. as soon as something else comes along, that will be the next thing on this forum. we all like to stick to one brand. lol. |
|
Bronze Member Username: Bass__monkeyLas Vegas, Nevada U.S. of A. Post Number: 94 Registered: Sep-06 | and there u have it, lol! it is based on application... thank you! i have LOTS of experiences with different woofers and by far fi works for me. i've never had a problem. i tried the x, the ssd, the q, and the btl. i also tried some dd woofers, jl etc, etc... man i change my woofers like my under pants! lol seems im bad now though... im stickin to fi. im done. but guys it is all YOUR choice. well have to go to work... have fun! lol |
|
Gold Member Username: RedlinerWilmington, Ma Post Number: 2613 Registered: Jun-05 | i would say try the D they are very amazing subs i am not saying this 100% cause ive never heard a fi but i bet the 9500 will have better sq than a btl but sayign that with the same power the fi would most likely louder due to it being a 18" sub but the 9500 can hadle more power i would give both a try see what u like more |
|
Silver Member Username: RenegadesrunLafayette, IN US Post Number: 186 Registered: Oct-04 | I too have extensive experience with many woofers, both thru the shop and my own personal uses. I have my personal fave, just like anyone else, but i shy from imposing my "fanboyism" upon others simply because "I" love it. Heres a link or two of a few i had, and a couple reviews. Havent updated in a while, but its cool for now. http://www.splbassx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=2397&st=0 http://www.splbassx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48 |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 6013 Registered: Oct-05 | renegadesrun........its just the fi is fairly new and people are very curious to how they sound. also the price is the main factor. the price is fairly low for subs in that caliber. if scott never built the resonant engineering subs, i probably would of never thought about buying it. many people on this forum have heard and had experience with many subs. we are not biased towards any particular brand. as you browse through the forum, you will noticed the title of the thread saying "fi vs ...". maybe thats why you feel that everyone thinks fi is the best. no one thinks that they are the best. like i said before, if ascendant audio or other brands come out with something new, then thats what people would be talking about then. |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 6579 Registered: Aug-05 | i agree...if Scott wasnt building them, i would have almost no interest, but i loved RE subs...and heard a XXX, and thought it was magical...so now i want a Q nucca......lol |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 6580 Registered: Aug-05 | and i will never go to any other brands than the ones i have HEARD for purchasing but i have faith in Scott's words about the Q. |

Silver Member Username: Mike17362Durham, Nc Usa Post Number: 147 Registered: Sep-06 | ok guy well fi it is then lol |
