Bronze Member Username: ThemannMt. Holly, NC USA Post Number: 70 Registered: Jan-06 | I have been pondering buying a FI for a while now, and cannot decide whether to buy one 15" BTL or maybe 2 12" Qs or one 15" Q and now with the BL out, I'm so lost...I have 3 cvrs and being apart of this forum makes me feel like I need to step it up a notch with some FIs...please help. btw, I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee so I have a good bit of room. |

Bronze Member Username: ThemannMt. Holly, NC USA Post Number: 71 Registered: Jan-06 | I'm looking for spl and my budget is about $400 for sub and about $350 for an amp. |
Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5094 Registered: Feb-06 | Get the BL, and an kicker zx1500.1 |
Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5095 Registered: Feb-06 | but you will also need to upgrade your charging system |
Gold Member Username: Nyyfan13Fi SSD USA Post Number: 3061 Registered: Jul-06 | id probably go with a single 15" Q cause finding an amp for the BTL for 350 may be harder...also electrical upgrades you need if you plan to properly power the btl if you want spl, go BL if you want sql, go Q here are some amps you can look at for eith the BL or Q: Kicker zx1000.1 Kicker kx1200.1 ED nine.1 Autotek 1400.1 Orion 1200d JBL 1201.1 Directed D2400 their are many others of course |
Bronze Member Username: ThemannMt. Holly, NC USA Post Number: 74 Registered: Jan-06 | Ok, that sounds great. I have heard about upgrading charging systems many times on here but never quite understood what all goes into that. And what VC configuration and other options do I need to go with the BL (like flatwind and daily or spl stuff like that)? |
Gold Member Username: Logan__tille[:-]15 Wangers Club[:-] Premier Member Post Number: 5099 Registered: Feb-06 | yea, with that budget dont get a BTL |
Bronze Member Username: ThemannMt. Holly, NC USA Post Number: 75 Registered: Jan-06 | Sorry for keeping this thread going, but I'm still learning/confused. First question, what VC configuration and other options do I need to go with for the BL (like flatwind and daily or spl stuff like that)? Second, I can get the kx1200.1 and zx1000.1 on hifisoundconnection.com factory renewed for a good price - is that safe? Thanks. |
