Best SPL: SSD's vs. BTL

[01 S 10 0]

Im running a single sundown 1500saz for now, but might get a second in the future. My vehicle is an ex. cab S10 that I can fit roughly 7-7.5 cube ported box in. Im wanting the most SPL out of my setup and I am comparing 2 15" SSD's against a single 18" BTL. I know my 1 amp wont push the BTL to its limits, but it should do very well with the SSD's.

My question is will I get the loudest results running the Sundown at 0.5 ohm (18-1900 watts) with 2 15" SSD's or a single BTL 18??

thanks in advance!

2 ssd 15's based on cone area

but why dont u just do 2 bl15's

it will better handle the power

I didnt think I would have enough power with just one 1500 to power 2 15"s BL's good enough. Also price I need to keep in mind too, I would be jumping up another $150 (without mods) over the SSD's

BUT, if the BL's will definetely outperform the SSD's on about 800 watts each, I could save up longer and get those... what options should I choose for the BL's??

Don't have enough power for the BL's

The SSD's will work fine for you with that amp.

Thanks!

Personally....and this is just persoanlly. I'd run the two SSDs in an Iso-Loaded Single Reflex Bandpass. I'd do 1.5ft^3 sealed and 4ft^3 ported..that would leave you a cube to play with port size/tuning. Ported Enclosures.....who needs them?

Do you mean a 4th order?

SSD's....maybe get the bp power option.

Were running 2 12" SSD's on a SAZ-1500 @ .5 ohm and they get LOUD and take it all say long, not even the slightest smell of a warm VC. They did a Term-LAB verified 145.3db on music.

nice score. i cant wait to get my ssd's installed in the blazer - going to try and do the 149.9 bass race class with 4 of the 15's, without a wall - 2 x sundown 1500's for power. What type of vehicle was that in and what type of box did you use?
