two sa12s or one BTL 15

[HunterAC 0]

which one will be the loudest in an optimal box

[bassahaulic 155]

Depends on power at that point.

Which BTL?

[Shogen 325]

what car? power? impedance? color? age? zodiac? sex? ... oh wait...

lmao its a 94 civic hatch but i got my other sa12 on the way and its gonna be 1500w

[Shogen 325]

So you already have 1 sa-12 but you ordered a second and now asking which will be louder on 1500w? Well the answer is easy then, keep what you got and if it isn't loud ENOUGH then upgrade son!! lol

I agree. I would think that with quite a bit more power (more then 2000) the btl would shine but doubt you would be unhappy with 2 sa 12's.

i disagree .. 2000 watts is just fine for a BTL

What makes you think a BTL needs more than 2000 watts to "Shine" (whatever that means)? I hope not youtube videos.

[Ohjay 116]

I would make it shine with 1k.

[tc300 2]

Gota love those youtube vids!! Hahaha

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Well since you already have 2 SA-12. Build a properly aligned enclosure and see what it does on the meter. To many variables to tell you which will be louder!

I was just thinking about previous setups I've had where subs like the dd9500's really come alive above a certain amount of power. I've only seen one btl in person on a rockford 1000bd and it moved a lot but also this kid tends to overdrive it. (way into clipping) so maybe they arent as power hungry as i am assuming???

I've had a few 3000-4000 watt systems a few years back (10 years ago - single sub setups) but things were a bit different back then and I don't have enough personal experience with FI subwoofers to be taken too seriously. I've only heard a ssd and a btl (both 12's).

The BTL actually has a coil, that certainly helps.

No sub comes alive at a certain point. Every sub made gets progressively worse in performance as power increases over 1 watt.

Lol @ the raw truth
