Two Thumbs Up For BTLs

Recommended Posts

This past weekend I attended DBDrag World Finals at Dayton Ohio (I only live 45 minutes away) and competed in the 3x event. The event was ran great from the judges and ran smooth from start to finish. I was very happy to see fellow Fi competitors. One was Dr. Boom. For those of you that don't know him, he has 6 15" BTLs walled in a Scion xB off of 6 Sundows 3500s. His install was by far the cleanest there, and his car was a show stopper for sure. I got a demo from him, unfortunately my esophagus started to close up so it got hard to breathe, but boy did those BTLs sound great!! A total of 5 light bulb covers fell from the ceiling, 3 from Dr. Boom himself, the other 2 were from 2 different guys. Here's a video of Dr. Booms final DBDrag run:

Last weekend, March 12th, was my first official try at bass race for the 129.9 class. It was my first time practicing ever and my first run was a 129.9 right off the bat. When it came time in the lanes, I ended up taking second by barely busting with a 130.0, but overall I won the ESP Challenge as the best Bass Racer over all, and I came in 2nd at Street B.

At World Finals, I only did bass race for the 3x since I wouldnt stand a chance against the CRXs in Street B. The practice runs go in order: .7 .8 .9 .9. Then I qualified with a .9. When it came time in the lanes, I got a .8 but it didn't cut it against Team Concepts Davis who got a .9. The good news is that he won the World Championship and I just barely lost to him. So overall I placed 3rd in the 129.9 class at World Finals... keep in mind this was my legit 2nd Bass Race event ever.

So far my awards from the past 3 events:

-Street B First Place

-Bass Race 129.9 Second Place

-Street B Second Place

-ESP Challenge Winner

-World Finals 3X Bass Race 129.9 Third Place

Only one brand could get me these results and that is Fi. The BTLs are by far the best sounding high output drivers. Not only do they get loud, they sound fantastic, get low, and stay cool for when you want to bass for long periods of time. Scott has proven himself to be one of the top subwoofer engineers in the world. When combining Fi's top notch customer support from Scott and Nick, along with high quality parts, USA craftsmenship, and unparalleled design, you get the best subwoofer company out there.

I'd also like to give a shoutout to XS Power for making quality batteries that keep your voltage high when you crank the volume. Also a shoutout to Audioque for making the best output:price:quality ratio you can get for an amplifier.

Word.

I also Scott is one of the better engineers, at least he is a real engineer.

I think its funny there's a company that copied all of the subs Scott engineered 6+ years ago. And people swear they the owner/designer knows what he is doing. And then worship the product, and down the ones they was copied from.

Cool story bro. No sarcasm. It was a nice read with a moderate amount of nut hugging. Okay, that was a little sarcastic at the end there. :peepwall: Congrats on your runs. I've dabbled in competing and can relate to your excitement. :fing34:

Hey now, I didn't say any names. Sooooo.

Just won the ESP Challenge again!!! Got $100 for that, and won the 129.9 bass race class. I decided just to do Street C today so I only had to disconnect one of my rear batteries, put my score up to a 142.7, car still off.
