Whats the major diff between a 15" FI BTL and a 15" Ascendant

Whats the major diff between a 15" FI BTL and a 15" Ascendant Audio Mayhem? Features and Nitche market....

I mean, I thought I read that the same guys designed and build both.... Both look pretty sweet... I would not mind owning either...

Just real quick as I'm at work, was crusing the net on break but the biggest difference I saw besides cosmetics was

the Mayhem has

Silver 8AWG Push terminals

2500W RMS

vs the BTL

Did not see anything about the terminals listed on the site for the BTLs

2000w RMA

Looking at all the Parameters most of the specs seem pretty close... within a digt or two...

I'm sure there are others, but thats all I saw in the time I had....

Just curious as I love to learn about cool products...

I am also curious to know what the difference is.

Summary

It said, (not my words) For those of you who dont know the mayhem is, its the exact same thing as a fully loaded BTL with the new forced heli cool motor design (which I think you can now get on the BTL)

It just just seems strange why a company would produce two lines that are "exact same thing"...

Seems like a duplication of effort... Can't be easy to market a brand and build a name to get folks to spend money on it...

Not a big deal, but it would be cool to get a comment from FI or that sells them...

**edit** I don't know why, I've never seen it before, but googling I found a link on here to a Subforum for AA...

One is sold direct and open to the public with personalized customation (FI) while the other is sold and offered dealer only (AA).

But it's not unheard of. Look at Ford/Mercury, Chevy/GMC, etc. Not to mention all the regular knick-knack consumer products that have a brand name and "budget" brand that are the exact same thing.

Bingo. One is an online company, the other primarily sold in stores. Only the guys behind the scenes can explain if there are any real minute differences, but overall they are extremely similar drivers.

Dealers cannot stock 300 different versions of a BTL that we can build .

They are both 'different'..and unique in and of themselves.

What is the price difference between a fully loaded btl and mayhem?

Motors share no common parts, although I designed them to be similar in purpose and ability.

Mayhem comes with full cooling and high xmax coil as standard.

There are several differences between the two, but a similar common goal. Future models will be even further apart.

Thanks,
