how much power does an 18 mayhem handle in the max 8 cft enclosure for daily bumping? i have two 2610s which i could link to 5,2 kw. BUT with voltage drop to 12,8 there will just be around 3,3 kw.

then ill probably do the 18 xcon on my 2610 @ 1 ohm and build the biggest recommended ported enclosure.

then the mayhem would be a nice compromize between output and deep bass. can i achieve 150 db with the 18 mayhem in max ported box with 4 kw rms? i know there are so many factors but what can i expect?

yes thats right. but since the mayhem has 30 mm of xmax i thought it would produce some serious deep bass too.

ive done a little research now. there are people hitting a 150 with 2 15 l7 on 2,5 kw in a suv... but personally i like single sub setups over two sub ones. the 18 mayhem has 30 mm of xmax so it should be close to the xcon in the lows but still get much louder?

i contacted maxxsonics and i was told the 2610 puts out 1700 watt rms at 1 ohm at 12 volt. does the 2610 put out rated power? (i want to power 2 15 l7 rated 750 watt rms each)

i charge my batteries every weekend. they do fine for over a year now.

nearly the same price. the l7s will cost me just 100$ more which is a damn good deal i think.

were talking about 2 15 l7 and 1 18 btl. outputwise the two l7s should get louder and lower in the right enclosure (according to specs).

why not? the kickers have more cone area and a much lower Fs aswell. i think the 2610 is not enough power for the btl too.

why not? i thought it was a good thing.

what is CS? ok i will give the 2610 a try. actually this is my current system but i will sell the btl for a very good price and get the 2 15 l7s instead. should be louder than. i dont know if the bxi is a good amp cause i just have heard my old zx 1500 and the bxi still puts out more.

i just have that amp but im planning to get either one more battery (maybe hc 2400) or a better amp with a regulated power supply.

i will hold voltage from 12-13 volt at ful volume (3 batteries; stock 90A alt). if the 2610 puts out at least 1,7 kw (at 12 volt) it would be perfect for 2 15 l7? (little overpowering them though)

does one 18 btl handle 4k rms for daily listening? in a 10 cft box. i just want to get the most out of my btl so i think of strapping my two bxi 2610 two 2 ohm. someone told me one could never have enough rms for music. this guy was running 4 15 l7 on a kicker warhorse.

but i dont understand why the rated power handling of a sub isnt related to its enclosure size. fi recommends 5-10 cft of airspace for a btl but like you said this power handling is dependend on the box size aswell.

ok thanks. so i wont do it then.

i just have one 1 18 btl and im hugely satisfied with it. it plays the lows so hard compared to the 2 12 l7s i had before. i think the btl isnt louder in the higher freq but the lows oh my god thats awesome! now i have the chance to sell my btl and im thinking of getting 2 18 Qs in a sealed 9 cft. box because im very impressed by the sq of the btl (although the box i have is crap, less than 5 cft after displacement). is there a comparable sub to the Q? like alpines type x? amp is a bxi 2610. the Qs would run at 1 ohm (2,6 kw rms).

the only thing i ever thought of selling the btls was i can sell them only for 100$ less than i payed. lets say how many dbs will increase by building a box that is twice the size? (same car, same amp)

i like to run two 18 btls but my budget doesnt allow it yet so i have to save money first. space is ~ 17 cft.

yes i know. but i just want the best spl setup on the 2610 since i have the chance to sell my btl for a good price. i also know lots of people saying the 15 l7 sounds very loud especially on the lows.

i just saw a guy on youtube doing 150,4 db with 2 15 l7 on a zx 2500 (in a big suv). hm now im really confused what to do...

so in theory with 2 18 btl i should hit over 150 db. what is your experience with only ONE 18 btl?

in how far does the loudness change by adding a second btl with one more 2610.
