These subs are alright. Not the top of the foodchain.

[Sencheezy 689]

I haven't heard anything bad about them....

But, the site seems to not have LFTN making magic behind the seens lol.

And the enclosure specs they have, are for every single driver they offer? Its kinda all generalized, like, all 10's use these recommendations, all 12's use these enclosure specs, etc etc.

But besides those two things, they do look pretty beefy, especially the extremes. I wonder what their prices are??

[Tremonic 7]

10"-$747

12"-$781

15"-$824

These are for the Ultrasonics. The second best sub they make, one step down from the neo.

Yeah they're pricey. IMO you can get the same performance for less money with the multitude of brands that are out there right now.

[Shogen 325]

wow... pricing looks insane... I couldn't or wouldn't spend that kind of money ... although I always said I'd never spend more that $250 a driver and I own a XCON... lulz @ past thoughts....

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

[steveo50 3]

i keep hearing about these zcons?? all i see is the xcon as the top sub, where can i check out these zcons and or are they even out yet

[Sencheezy 689]

They skipped ubersonic.

So one 15 cost 824, or two Zcon 18's for 938 + shipping, I wonder which one would be louder

ohhhhhhh hehe do i hear a btl murderer on it way??

[Tremonic 7]

ohhhhhhh hehe do i hear a btl murderer on it way??

Is the BTL such a big goal to shoot for? I know they handle power and get loud etc etc but they're not the end all of subs. A LOT of manufacturers have great products that get plenty loud including SSA. Ugh the BTL is on some videos and everyone thinks that FI is some type of godly company.

Btw I'm not trying to jump on you baked I just hear BTL so much I get sick of it.

no i know where your coming from it was more ment to be sarcastic then anything haha. was hoping along the lines to get if it was more geared to spl or sq

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

The BTL is one of the top choices for a number of reasons, most of those reasons are not focused on by the people who hype them the most.

Thank You Denim, so is the new zcon going to be more towards SQ or SPL...or both

[Tremonic 7]

Yes that's why I said they do get loud and handle power etc etc. They're definitely not anywhere near a bad woofer it just seems that because of some videos a ton of people think that they're the godzilla of the sub world. Again I'm not bashing FI. I just get tired of certain people, or types of people. Anyways just my 2 cents. I AM A get out of this sandbox now and leave this alone.

Way to be a great business man though.

Fi has paved the way for countless woofer companies; through the combined engineering of Scott Atwell and Nick Morgan, the BTL is in a class with very few woofers. The woofers in it's class have technology stolen from the BTL.

I tore this company apart on SMD, I'm not sure if their website is the same. I haven't looked, but in the tech section, they listed some bullshit information, claiming their subs to be better than the others. Two I can remember off the top of my head are.

Solid poles cause clipping, not directly saying that, but that was the point they tried to make. I loled.

Also, they bragged about what on there sub is USA made, and listed MOTOR BOLTs. They didn't list that the actually motor was made or assembled here. Just that the cone,surround,spider,dust cap,tinsel leads, glue and best of them all MOTOR BOLTS. I couldn't help myself from dying laughing.

Also, Sixdog1(or whatever) on youtube had a video on a guy unboxing one of the lines, and it didn't hardly have any packaging, just swimming noodles basically. Which is WAY below PAR for a company to ship a 60+ pound sub.

As far as price, I guess they had to skimp on packaging because they speNt all their money on USA bolts. LMFAO.
