Don't post crap like that in someones thread.

Aluminum coils take more power because they are flatwound, they have more surface area for cooling. Copper coils gave more mass, they are heavier.

How much for the BTL? Lol

yes, steve at FI wanted to go in a different direction than nick so they branched off and steve started his own brand Ascendant Audio, the companies are completely unrelated regarding owners and employees, but the technology is very very similar, if you look at an fi q vs an AA havoc you will find them very similar. both use teh same surrounds and spider structures, i have seen both and the build quality on both drivers was superb I currently run 2 Ascendant audio havoc 15's in a sealed enclosure, they slam pretty good, but they sound incredible both teh fi Q and the Ascendant audio Havoc are designed for sound quality first and loudness second, it does the first VERY well, and still manages to do a damn good job on the second. the havoc is alllmost as loud as the fi bl to the ear, but the bl shaves a few more db at the meter. The mayhem is ascendant audio's answer to the FI BTL, overall i would say they are an even match, though i would still choose Mayhem because to my ears they seem to hit the higher bass a little harder then the btl, but below 45 hz for both subs it is a dead heat. the SMD series is jsut insane, that's all i got to say about it, i don't have another sub to really compare it to that i have actually heard before, but if you want to ask me " is it louder then the btl?" or "does it beat the Mayhem?" the answer will be "yes, deffinately" That guy proved in the same post that he has absolutely no knowledge of woofers or the company that makes his woofers. His post =

Looking at guts doesn't void a Sundown warranty, as long as you didn't tough anything.

Like my strawberries like I like my women ...big and mutated?

She's 19-20

Looking to show off then eh? Try not to be a public menace as it ruins everything for true audio enthusiasts. It'll be as loud as you make it, if you do the installation correctly.

Gimmie a REX!

I should also add that stacking a bunch of ferite together is useless and a waste of money and materials. A lot more goes into woofer design than stacking materials together.

Second.

Read it all or

Exactly, I really hate it when noobs try to say otherwise. my bad.. I just figured if you were playing a BL to its full potential it would be louder than a BTL that isn't getting pushed so hard. It's a common misconception, but physics does not allow it.

"RELEASE THE KRACKEN!"

Deka makes a good battery.

BTL's don't need a minimum amount of power, BTL's will be louder than BL's in a direct swap FYI.

Free air it to further troubleshoot, we can't make an accurate diagnosis without more information on your part.

If you build it right 3/4" will be fine (In this case at least)

It won't matter, the D2 has a higher BL because there is more coil in the gap vs. the D1. But it's not significant.

Come let me listen too!

Great looking doors!
