    Ding, nailed it again.... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE,..... HE JUST SAID THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF YOU AND YOU SAID HE MADE YOUR POINT His point is the perception that the BTL has of needing 2k watts to function, and Hayes feels that the lower power handling less efficient woofer would be louder. i now understand that

    well i feel like i learned somthing, and i wanna learn more about it... bko your right i have told people not to get the btl because thay only wanted to run a 1000 watts. thats true... when someone ask about a btl i feel like thay should know it takes power... and it takes power to make power. i donno if im projecting my thoughts well. efficiency is somthing i need to learn more about as i said, one time that i tested my thoughts, jl 500/1 on a hifonics goliath 3200 watt 12 and then again on a jl w6 15's 600 watts peak or so jl was much louder. so it was efficiency and efficiency only? nothing to do with RMS

    Don't take me the wrong way. I'm a guy who has a pair of XXX18s and 5KW rms in my living room.. But I also see a lot of misinformation spread all the time, and this is one of those times. We are here to help each other, best way to do that is to get the facts straight when you give people advice. And saying a BTL needs more power to be any louder than any othe FI sub, is, well.... misinformation... then why dont you run 500 watts to your xxx's? why are you running 5k to them? I don't want to take the words out of 95's mouth or try to represent him, but I believe the point he's getting at is that you don't NEED 5000 watts. At 500 watts the BTL should still be the loudest of the FI bunch because of its higher efficiency. However you can obviously get even louder with the BTL due to its higher power handling than the rest. Which is also why he has 5k on his XXX's. He doesn't NEED it, he WANTS it to get even louder. ok, but i cant understand how btl can be louder then any of the other subs on 500 watts. the way i would understand it is that if you get the rms of the subs closer to the output of the at 500 watts. that the rms sub would be louder then the underpowered. and im not just pondering thoughts, i have done it.. i have owned many many types of subs and amps. 500 watts on a 3200 watt rms sub was not louder then 300 watts on a 500 watt rms sub. UNELSS YOUR TELLING ME THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND efficiency and in that case you are right. and i am wrong... and then i will say sorry to mike and anyone else... but i will have to buy a btl. and test that for my self.

    ok.. i may still not be understanding this, all i see is ONE MORE person DOING ONE THING.. and saying another.\\ cause you cant be telling me all this was just making a point you dont HAVE TO RUN big power.

    Why? Because I'm kind of new here, but one thing I have noticed, pretty much daily are quotes like this- "BTL will need more power which means more electrical upgrades which means blah blah blah" About 10-20 young guys (and girls) really interested in audio who really want to learn get a little dumber every time something like this is posted... LETS DO THIS OVER AGAIN THEN fine get a btl and run 500 watts on it and see how you like it
