    BTL vs BL (for the daily user)

    There is nothing wrong with playing an n3 daily... no mechanical damage will occur from this type of use. They only listed it as a spl driver because the sound quality isn't good ib their eyes... but sound qualoty for the gen 2 was bad in their eyes too and I loved it. You have experience with the N3 then? No didn't think so, the motor force is too great for smooth response, which suggests SPL oriented. I agree with you though, I'll be running an N3 daily, that's just the way Fi wants the lines broken down. Jump on his ass to agree with him. lol. The man who designed the woofers knows more than the man who has only seen pictures. I'd rather not talk out of my ass and continue the spread of misinformation.
  3. You saying you want to upgrade power from 1,500 to 4,300?

    monte carlo ss wall build

    you have no idea how bad i wanna go!! only problem is all four 15's are brand new and will not see any power until this friday. taking virgin subs to Casper=coming home with blown subs. I'm going to take her easy for a week or two before i unleash Hell !! They won't have any problem, if anything they are stronger now than when they are broken in. The suspension is the stiffest it will ever be.

    BTL N312

    Keep in mind the enclosure, vehicle and system tuning has as much to do with the sound as the subwoofer itself. Simply listening to a driver doesn't qualify someone to make factual statements about it's performance, nor does it mean you received an accurate representation of it's performance characteristics. Your experience might have been negative simply because the system was designed with SPL as the primary goal rather than maintaining relatively decent sound, or a dozen other factors. I'm not saying that the SoloX is necessarily the best driver for you, or the better option of the two. The Fi very well could be a better option for your goals. I'm simply clarifying that having "listened" to a driver is not as meaningful as people make it seem. This applies to all speakers, not just the SoloX. People misinterpret having "listened" to a speaker, or even owning one, as qualifying them to make factual statements about it's performance without considering the all of the factors involved in and contributing to that listening experience. What sounds like ass in one system might sound like magic in another. Quite true, but this person who had the solox has been in the audio industry for 15 years. He did the big 3.. perfect enclosure according to SOLOX specs on their website and was powering it with a 2500D. It just sounded really bad.. just messy. Like I said it got hella loud.. but as in SQ.. not really for solox. I would say that its a SPL, cuz it sounded perfect on one or two tones.. but the rest was ass. Kicker knows 99% of people who buy a woofer like the Solo-X aren't going for sound quality, hence their enclosure was made for loud. Like Kicker's slogan, "Livin' Loud", not "Livin' Loud With Sound Quality Sometimes"

    BTL vs BL (for the daily user)

    BL is great up to 2,000 watts, then you need a BTL. The BTL is more efficient though, so even below 2,000 watts it will beat the BL. BTL N1 = Sound Quality BTL N2 = Loud Daily BTL N3 = SPL Only BTL SG = Extreme SPL Only

    BTL N312

    No wonder I wasn't seeing any daily or SPL option on it... lol.. so that means the SOLOX is can put out more in terms of RMS (considering I would put both in a proper box and amp to push with proper electrical of course)! Being rated higher does not mean it will be louder.

  17. He obviously doesn't know or understand wave theories. Doesn't know the concept of vented enclosures either. Tell him to suck a dick, or invite him here so he can use some useful knowledge, not the knowledge he sucked out of a Circuit City installer's ass

    Damn, how is that fail?
  19. I've never seen any valid 3rd party testing, so the only thing to go buy is the companies word.

    Question about my order

    Yes I did get a tracking number for each sub. The one that hasn't shipped is still listed as 'Order Processed'. Still wondering what's going on. Your 4th one is the very first one for us to build when the magnets get in. All of the steel parts are sitting..waiting..wishing to get out of here! Whaaaat? are the neo magents for the 15" the same for the 18" cause im waiting on my N2 18's!! Yes, the motors are the same.
  22. Cause AQ isn't made in China right? Oh wait they are
  23. It depends on many other factors, I wish it were that simple, unfortunately it is not.

    2 12 ssd or 2 12 jl audo w6

    What do you want to achieve? If output is your goal, get the SSD's, if you want some of the best sound quality woofers ever designed, get the W6's.
