[caddyon20s 0]

mmmmmm well i kinda dont like it and yes it seems a little small, i like my old btl cause it looks good huge but then again it should be for the better...so how many watts can the new ona handle??

[NDMstang65 403]

Same power rating...not changing that anytime soon. People put whatever power they want to put on them anyways.

The sweet thing about this new design is that it doesn't look like all the other big triple stack subwoofers that have been coming out lately.

Ding ding ding

Now we're seeing the light

Eh im not liking it... it looks too small and weak, i was going to get some new BTL 15's but Scott or no one is replying to my emails so im taking my business elswehere and im gettin rid of my BTL12's anyone intrested PM me

Wow. Pretty logical idea to buy a sub based on how it looks. Maybe you should sell your Fi's and get some A-bombs. There is a protocol for communication that if you follow you will get a response as well. :(

Looks like it saves some displacement from the box and it is something new to look at so its sorta growing on me.

great looking beauty..the magnet looks like a ufo or flying saucer..lol

they do look a little smaller than the other BTLs tho

Why is the magnet so small?

that mag is wider. Fi will eventually tell us why they went to this.

Posted YEARS ago by Dan Wiggins when the Brahma series came out. He said that it would perform just fine with a single magnet slug in the motor but no one would buy it based on his market research because the sub was "too small". From the uninformed comments I quoted, I guess he was correct. He went on to state that the extra slugs just added clearance for excursion while adding very little to the motor's power. The real increase in motor strength comes in larger diameter motors (just like Fi went to). They are getting their extra clearance for excursion via a very deep back plate. Very cool design but a short statement like mine above from someone official needs to go along with the sub to educate the uninformed.

I was going to say they look like something that came out of ascendant audio, but everyone already beat me.

Very similar to the old xbl^2 motors.

i like the way they look...small sub = big sound...

Is it me or do the new btl seem to have more room under the cone. Can someone tell me what the term "cowbell" means. I really don't understand all of the talk.

lol

I really don't see anything funny. You could have kept your mouth shut for that much. I do notice a slight difference in the basket.

So whats the xMax on these bad lads?

I'm really diggn' the smaller look. They got a sleeper element to them.

[element 0]

You'd have to mount them inverted to get any sort of sleeper effect out of them though! I don't know why people buy subs that look big just because they look big... only the owner is going to know what monsters they really are unless, like I say, they invert them. The cone of a sub with a monstrous motor is going to look to the same to a layperson (when mounted normally) as the cone of a sub with a unique motor like this. Who cares about size! It's the performance that matters.

This sounds like a speech from the president of the small penis association, but you get my point.

Ironically, I forgot that I had a picture of my apx in my avatar - please ignore the contradiction of its motor size and the message I'm trying to get across.

Hmm... well lets see.. if you FULLY read my post you will see it says "Scott or no one is replying to my emails" and therefore i feel that after I already spent about $1,000 on speakers I would at least get the decency of a returned email or something, beings i was going to be ordering some new ones when my questions got answered... but i get nothing in return, worst $1K ever waisted in my life (customer service is supposed to be 100% in my book).. but just like every other high-end company out there, all they care about is the dollar from the consumer
