    Yeah i agree, when i buy stuff i always by the best on the market just because i know i'll be saving in the long run. How about i jus upgrade to the 0 gauge wire for now and just get a meter for my battery (idk the correct term. lol) that way i can be safe? or will i NEED a battery.

    For a while i have been pondering on whether to get a fully Loaded 15" Btl or 2 12" Q's I know that they are in very different (technology wise), but i have read alot on these forums that sometimes cone area can over come better machinery they are relatively the same price when it all comes down to it. They will be ran off of a AudioQue 2200D I just want opinions (not criticism) on which sub/subs you guys think will pound harder. I have a 03 trailblazer and i like lows Box will be ported and built accordingly

    Unexplained Options

    I was looking at the options for the new 12" BTL im getting and i cant seem to find anywhere on the site that explains what the "HiXmCoil" and "I Heat Ring" do sorry if i overlooked something thanks for the explanations in advance. Tyler

    Do you guys think with that amp and the BTL i will NEED any electrical upgrades?

    how to tell if your subs are going?

    What type of amp do you have? Those might be the trouble, not the subs.

    15" btl on 1870 rms, enough power?

    You right Punkeyboozter just because i JUST found this forum means that I have ABSOLUTELY NO KNOWLEDGE of anything that has to do with speakers. I should just go crawl in a hole and die.

    Your right BELOW .1% is great Above .1 is okay 0.2% is a little sketchy

    I defintely didnt say anything about blowing speaker. I was explaining ways that it could HURT a sub. You just said that irresponsible people with the volume knob is what hurts a sub. I was explaining HOW it hurts the sub. NO where did i say that DON'T DO IT YOU WILL BLOW YOUR SUB. Clipping and DC currents can HURT a sub not ruin it instantly. I said that doing those things for a while on the sub will be the downfall not just one time. Reread that and try to understand it

    12" Bl vs. 15" Q

    Idk what everyone is arguing about. It is a very straight forward answer to your problem. Your gonna listen to country then get the Q. Your gonna mainly listen to rap then get the BL or you CAN get the Q and just not be an arseho to the volume know or else you'll be paying for it. You dont have to worry about the Q when you listen to country because who honestly bumps hardcore to country? no one lol. So jus be smart about it. Q = 1000 watts RMS BL = 1000 watts RMS but can handle more The US amp will be perfect for both of them, don't worry. Base it on what you listen to more.

    15" btl on 1870 rms, enough power?

    The power output of an amplifier should be roughly matched to what the amp will be used for and what speakers it will be driving. Oddly enough, the most common problem with matching speakers and amps is using an amp that is too weak to power the speaker. When an underpowered amp is used to power a speaker, the listener tends to turn the volume up higher in order to get more output of the amplifier. Eventually the amplifier runs into its limit and begins to distort. This distortion can cause the output from the amplifier to become DC for short periods of time and DC signals of even low power can destroy a speaker. Underpowering a speaker in this way can be more dangerous than overpowering it! Also more power is usually necessary when powering subwoofers because of their large size and excursion. Do not plan on using an amp of less than 75watts per channel to drive a subwoofer. The converse holds true for higher frequencies (midrange and treble) only 25-50watts per channel are necessary to drive speakers in those frequency ranges, however more power will not hurt, it just probably will not be used. Another factor in power output is stability in low resistance loads. Sometimes you can wire mutiple subwoofers to a single channel on an amplifier but the amp will have to work harder to drive this kind of load. Many moderately priced amps can drive loads as low as 2 ohms or less, with 4 ohms being the typical load of a single speaker. THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) is a spec that often shows up with the power output spec. An example would be "45wattsx2 @ 0.01% THD" This spec says that at an output level of 45watts into each channel the THD will be no more than 0.01%. Sometimes manufacturers will quote the power spec at a THD of 1%. Be wary of this, 1% THD is poor and either implies that the amp is not very high quality or that the manufacturer is artificially inflating the power output spec by running the amp into a higher distortion region where it does produce more power but more distortion as well. Either way it is a sign of a poor amp or marketing that decieves. Anything less than 0.1% is negligible. So you CAN hurt a sub by underpowering it. And in my opinion if your a not jakcalope (no offense) and dont crank the amp to get more output then your not gonna hurt the sub. Any questions? Tyler
