ok my friend has ~500 bucks to spend on an 18.
he wants it to be wicked loud and low
right now he's thinking about the BTL 18, but he's still open to other options. Will be run daily. Amp(s) will be determined by sub choice.

Its going in a 2002 trailblazer thats going to have the big 3 and a HO alt with 1/0ga.

i'm thinking there's gunna be about 8 or 9 cubes of useable space for a box.

maybe 2 15s - it would have a lot more cone area and can probably fit in the budget

i see that youre in michigan as well. i have a DD9515G i would sell to your friend. theyre not known for getting low but they sure do get loud.

i also have a 4.5 cube fisher custom box thats tuned to 40 hz. id sell him the sub and the box for $400. and if he needs and amp - i have a RD3250.1 v1.

id sell all of it for $800. i have extra wire and stuff lying around too if he needs that

probably not exactly what hes looking for...just figured i would throw it out there

well right now he already has two BL 15s he's trying to sell.
I'm just not sure what would be louder for him, of course the only time he heard them both was in the back of his taurus in a sh!tty box off two mismatched amps

and pass on your offers, thanks thought
But he might be interested in the 3250 idk yet

2 BLs in a SUV on 3-4K would be loud as eff

How does he figure one BTL 18 is going to be louder than two BL 15's?

i think you should talk him into using his 15s. he already has the equipment - at this point, going to one 18 would be a downgrade

2 BL 15s on proper power with a nice install will wang

especially in a SUV
