im kinda mad about my first run score for my loaded BTL 15 its runnen off about 1200 watts right now and my amp can max 1600 i have a stock ALT. (80 amps) now but my new 200 amp alt on the way! its 4.1 cubes with two 4"flared ports on the side tuned to 35hz FIRST with a 137.1 NOW tuned to 40 with a 139.2 MAX i have NO room for a bigger box! any suggestions? Porting? will the new alt. help tremendously or just very little?

well does anyone have an opion on the Hifonics BXI2006D ? do they work good? would it be good to power the BTL? is it worth it? please le tme know because im seriously considering this amplifier

Heres the new BTL next to the old Audioque We painted the front panel after sanding the MDF to a 2000 grit and we placed the logo on top of the box. The FI Logo under the carpet cutting the edges of the carpet to be flush with the front panel URL=http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?srv=img38&img=/9/7/15/f_SPA0281m_36d361f.jpg] Box finished carpeting and the Figure 8 port placed on the side ( 2- 4 inch Flared ports Tuned to 35 Hz) another view of the completed box Screwing in the BTL the finished install in the trunk I havent gotten around to testing the sub yet on my meter but i should get to that tomorrow or the next few days depending on how my football practice lays but the setup is done im still awaitin the install of my new Alt. This Enclosure was designed and created by my business partner and I.. We just opened our store and we will release the website soon and accepting orders for custom enclosures, subs, amps, installs, all that good stuff Ill update with my score soon

Thanks guys! you are pretty good fellas! i know we had our slight arguements there and sorry if i came off like i was pissed or defensive i just thought theres a better way to tell someone theyre wrong without sayin it in a certain way! and like i said idk much i went based on wut alex says (farriswheel) and he is very smart! so thats why i say wut i was told by him! i wasnt insisting ever that you guys were wrong! but thanks for the help and all and i will upgrade my amp soon hopefully!

okay well then my next question is...my amps.. SHOULD I get ANOTHER orion 800.2 and have the two of them poweren the btl..or get an SPL brand amp.. are they anygood?...or how bout a hifonics BXI 2006D ANY GOOD? i need to know wut people think of my choices... im tryin to save money

im more happy with the 142 and we were hittin in the 140's like nuthin today! i wasnt REALLY mad about the 139.2 and all but i just wanted suggestions.... now with out callen me an IDIOT like has been said...WHEN i get the new alt. and its installed WILL i make it even louder than that? my voltage was around 12.5 with the 142

and what situation would that be?

is there no such thing as an underrated amplifer?

okay....seriously it doesnt matter WHO DOES and DOESNT know wut theyre talkin about with the amp situation regardless its being underpowered ( ILL GET MORE) and this topic has completely messed the hell up! i dont WANT people tellen me WHAT i did wrong as in (wrong size sub) i WANTED to know wut i could do with what ive got to help it...

well like stated by almond when it comes to amps ill admit I DONT know wut im talkin about thats why i left it up to ALEX so dont waste your time explaining the lesson to me! tell HIM! but alex isnt stupi dand he does know what hes talking about for th emost part

well i mean if you say they call that its MAX then you should see why alex (farriswheel) says its 1200 because of the fuse rating (100 amp) i say that its 1200 based on what he tells me! so he says 1200 because of the fuse rating with the charging system!

dude wut the HELL are u talkin about i never EVER said i expected a 150 IN FACT i cleared that up earlier! so just adding that in there..second IM NOT crying because i KNOW wtih my wattage and crappy charging system thats a pretty good score! i just made this topic for SUGGESTIONS on if everything was correct or wut ppl would change...BTW my amp is DEFINTELEY ran right! it was done professionally and inspected (im not retarded) the box design is FINE i understand it should be alil bigger...and MUSIC like Hypnotize is still good for testing...and yes the back seats are ALWAYS down.... i KNOW its untested me and alex (farriswheel) are testing TOMORROW MORNING and ill let you KNOW how it does! im not COMPLAINING as it sounded i just wanted to know WHO would do WHAT differently!

as stated earlier is a dbm-2 by splmeter.com its maxes at 150! its said to be 4 DBs off the TL but also its stated its only .1 DBs off so idk

dude leave it alone! i aint callen you a liar but NEVER once in my life have seen MY DB meter jump! and i have hit 140 before too! AFTER the 141 theres no malfunction my system was FULLY charged (just started the car) and i turned it all the way up with the box in the previous testiong poisition and thats wut i hit! then i didnt even TRY to hit it again right after because i was going somewhere

Yeah

yes youre right! but to my recollection if you HIT a number, all it takes is once! and thats your highest score! in which thats wut my HIGHEST personal score was

well thanks. and it's a dbm-2 meter from spl meter.com. Ive heard it is 4 db off of a tl and iv'e also heard it was .3 db off, i guess some are calibrated better. then 148ish i still havent even had the time to test any. i think im going to wait until the new Alt. comes in then ill clear out a time for testing and ill let everyone know

dude i KNOW i havent tested i TOLD you that i understood that...and i didnt even say anything about the AQ not bein in my car it doesnt matter im just sayin it STILL got the 142.9 and theres not REASON in the world to not count the 141 i hit in my car with it...just cuz u werent there doesnt mean it didnt happen

i have my setup under products..its titled the NEw BTL and the setup!

its in a toyota corolla! with an orion 800.2 West coast customs amp...the voltage EASILY drops to about 11.4 when i have it up loud! but i have my fuse breaker right now and it flips before my voltage has the chance to drop more. and no i understand with 1200 watts im not expecting NEAR 150 and ill only push about 1600 into it but i wouldnt mind in the 140s i want higher than my old Audioque SD2.5 did (142.9) i will most liukely upgrade my amp when i have more funds to do it

it was music hypnotize on 35 oxycotton when tuned to 40 but ive tested a total of like 10 mins so thats a problem too. as the battery goes its an almost brand new and its 800 amps so

To give you an idea of this subs power (for those who dont know) i pulled up into football practice and parked next to the field house with the sub BUMPING and My coach yelled at me because the power rattled the building and knocked the Football Films off the shelf...So yeah the BTL is CRAZY loud! i freakin LOVE IT!

No thats a brace for the magnet to help hold that beast up
