btl or bl

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

just trying to get some advice from people with experiance would a 12 btl be louder than a 15 bl? thanks for input

Bad question. Same amount of power going to each ? What kind of enclosure?

[jonbearsmt 919]

not again......

this question is subject to alot of things..... box size power rating what its in... on and on and on and on.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

yeah figured i didnt put enough info umm, custom enclosure to wahtever needed and probably an amp around 300 or so havent looked much

[ABXX49 20]

Hard to tell, but I would have to say: In optimum enclosures, with the same power the 15" would get louder. BUT that is based solely off speculation.

What amp planned, and what goals if there is anything other then just being loud.

Id research a little more about what it takes to get a BL and a BTL in a quality setup before making guesses at what you'll need. You may find out that it will take a lot more than you think.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

Sundown Audio SAE-1200D would be the amp choice and just for good sq

[jonbearsmt 919]

o shit... your question is about sq?

[blue fury 3]

Even if its in a good enclosure, would a btl be the better choice for sound quality? hmmm

LOL. Honestly, to further what Jon is saying. You REALLY need to state your goals here. This isn't going to get anywhere without you telling us your goals and listening preferences.

ok.. let me try to re do this, a fridn of mind would like to get fi, and he was wondering what he hsould purchase a 12btl or a 15bl what would be louder with good sq

Although I really enjoy how the Bl sounds, it isn't a sq woofer by any means. I don't think you are really looking for a sq setup though.

bad thread

[jonbearsmt 919]

well watt for watt the btl SHOULD be better... the BL is in no way a sq sub IMO.... i like the sound of a bl... but again... imo it is not a sq sub

[ABXX49 20]

What does he have to compare 'loud' to? Loud is also subjective. Some people will say anything under 150Db's isn't loud. Whereas some people will say anything over 115 is loud.

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

yeah good point.. umm he thinks that a 15 L7 is loud

[ABXX49 20]

Why does it have to be between a 12BTL and a 15BL. He could go with a 15" BTL

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

money i guess i told him to go with a 15bl and hes like well wouldnt a 12btl be better becuse it can handle more and he assid they are abou the same price.... and for the record i didnt really look at the price just kinda assumed he was right

If he wants to get loud while still having good sq just get a loaded Q and a 1200 watt amp.

:bigclap:

Does he have an amp yet?

[B7L|BL4Z3R 4]

no he said around around 300 for an amp so i am going to tell him to purchase the sundown 1200

I can't say that I have experience with either, but I know that the new BTL's can handle some serious power, with the right options. Keep in mind this is a CRX fart setup, but I know of a guy that burps two 15" BTL's off 4 American Bass 500.1's. I would think that the BL should be much louder with lower power (2.5kWish and below), while the BTL will excel with high power levels. If anyone has more experience, please correct me.
