What do you guys think I would be happier with!!!!~~~~

[ChargerOn22s 2]

First my previous system was;

(2) 12 inch Powerbase Extreme Subwoofers (About 800 Watts RMS Each)

(1) Elemental Designs NINe.1 amp (1200 RMS at 14v)

I sold my turbo g35 and now have a 2006 Dodge Charger (Ya it has a hemi ) I listen to Rap, Hip Hop, and R&B. I always love deep bass, my previous subs went deep on a couple songs. Higher bass tones are always great too.

I was wondering what you guys think I would be happier with or what would be louder;

1 15 inch fully loaded Fi BTL

or

2 12 inch Fi SSD's

As for an amp what do you guys suggest. I think 1500 - 1800 RMS would be good enough for me. I really dont want to upgrade electrical in my car, just do the big 3. Budget for a amp - I hope to stay below or at $400!!

There is no replacement for displacement.

Thats what I was thinking. 2 12's so far......

[Duran 387]

There are many reasons I chose the 2 12's in a trunk route.

What are these many reasons, got me thinking of why I should go back to 2-12"s instead of one 15".

I am more of a single sub setup. But in your situation go with the SSDs

[Notorious97200 339]

I've never listened to a ssd. I didn't think 2 12" ssd could be in the same league as one 15" BTL !

I'd go with the btl (the bigger, the better!!!) and a Sundown saz 1500 or 2000d. It may be difficult to find a 2000d for $400. Who knows?

But there are lots of subs in the market.

[Mac N Cheese 90]

He said he didn't want to upgrade his electrical so your wrong, a BTL should not be recommended

[ChargerOn22s 2]

anyone else???

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

My pick - 2 12" Icons and a 2000D

[mbarber25 29]

2 12" Icons on SAZ-1500D

More cone area, more motor force, more heat dissipation, more power handling; all in the same sized enclosure.

daaaaaamnn a single 15 BTL will make me upgrade?? Not good lol. Guess I will have to stick with SSD's and hope it beats my previous system.

I don't think the Btl will make you upgrade !!! Only a bigger amplifier will do so !

If you just want to run your btl with 1500 - 2000 watts, you should be fine with the big3 and a secondary battery.

If I listen to M&Cheese I may be wrong.

From btl to ssd ? There are other FI sub between these 2.

2 12" Icon on a 1500-2000 watts amp should be dam good too!!! : there goes my vote !

The BTL, since it is a speaker and speakers do what they are told, does not require any electrical upgrade. What would is the amount of power that is desired to be fed into the BTL. It will be the loudest, all things being equal, off the same power, even if that is less then 1000 watts. There is no law that says the BTL needs 2000 watts of power.

, when will people understand this. Your gonna need to make electrical upgrades regardless unless you run under 1000 watts or so, so if you dont want to do any electrical upgrades you may just need one SSD depending on your factory alternator size.

Thats strange, my g35 had a stock battery and I was running 2 12's with 1400 RMS and no problems....

[jcarter1885 995]

Like I said depending on your alternator, what size alternator was in the G35 and where was your voltage sitting at when playing music?

No idea that was a while ago. It was sitting in the 13's.

Ya, I have a feeling my Charger will not do as well. I will just get a 2nd battery I guess along with the big 3 upgrade.

Well depending on setup you can talk to XS Power about batteries, they have some big batteries that will take on a system and starting a car at the same time. Look at the chart and see what fits the stock location:
