Triple stack BTL or First gen UFO style BL?

[Maddenkid2011 3]

My buddy bought a Triple stacked BTL (first gen??) and I currently own the 2010? UFO style BL (without red sticker on bottom of magnet). My main point is will it be worth it to get his BTL? Im not sure how much of a difference the generations actually make but I'm assuming a newer generation BL will perform the same as an older generation BTL. Opinions?

Im going basically for SPL and the box is 3.75 ft^3 @ 32 Hz.

Please no flaming. Im already one hundred percent satisfied with my BL but just wondering if the BTL will give me that extra boom boom ya know.

Ohh, and both the subs are fully loaded 15's and will be ran off of my RF T-1000Bd.

I doubt a direct drop in replacement will yield a large increase in output. Why not hook it up in your car and see for yourself?

Thats what I was thinking. I will be trying it out myself tomorrow but I just want some opinions. Especially when it comes to resale value.

Basically this was to see how big of a difference the generation of the sub will make.

Hoping for something along the lines of a direct reply from Nick or an Admin.

The BTL will only be noticibly louder if you have more power applied to the subwoofer.

Although that depends on the enclosure.

The BTL is louder and will be regardless of power supplied to the woofer.

And regardless of older model?

Yep, It should but maybe not to the ear but to the meter it would be louder.

It's not because the sensitivity is higher that it will be louder.

The box is the most important thing to how it will react, you can only test and know that it will work in that application.

Model them both against eachother and you'll see

i'll do that tomorrow and let you guys know.

It just seems like a newer model BL evens out with an older model BTL.
