    I'm looking to buy some speakers but i'm a little stuck i'm looking at either one 15 BTL or 2 15 BL's. The thing is i really want to know which would be louder as far as bass and quality? What kind of setup should I use?

    I'm about to buy me a 2000- 2005 impala ls 3.8 v6 125amp alt. With the two Bls would i need to get a h.o. alt or would i be ok with just 1 optima yellow top in the trunk and a battery under the hood, of course the big 3 is going to be done but will 4 gauge wire be enough. also this is a daily system that i'm setting up

    I'm going to get 1 1500 watt brutus mono amp for now.

    a little help from everyone will be great thanks.

    Will the btl sound good with 1500 watts? Will i be able to use my stock electrical system? With that many watts do you still recommend a upgrade on my alternator and batteries?

    The reason why I am asking is because that's what I am going to start off with.

    This is the dimensions for the trunk 40/43” W x 27” L x 12” T.

    40/13"? Can you repost that dimension please.

    I doubt your going to want to build your box inside the trunk. So what's your trunk opening dimensions

    40/ 43” W x 27” L x 12” T

    I completely understand your goals man, you want a loud daily driver. The BTL is the perfect choice.

    But there's limitations to everything, one being space, another being your budget.

    For example:

    two 12" btls on around 4kw with a proper box should be louder then a single 15" btl on 2kw of power.

    But can you afford two btls instead of one? Do you have the room for the proper enclosure? Do you have the room for the battery bank?

    Can you afford a h/o alt? This is where a budget comes into play, saying your going to upgrade down the road doesn't work help this situation.

    Even two 12" BLs on say 2kw should get louder then a 15" BTL on 2kw. BLs are certainly cheaper, but a single driver is cheapest.

    any large driver in a illsized enclosure will lack in output verse a smaller driver in an optimal enclosure.

    My point is there are tons of options and ways to get loud, but you need to give us more information so we can help give you a better educated answer.

    Right now I have the money for one 15 btl and the amps. I'm not going to put in the car right away maybe a little later in the new year. My thing now is I keep getting different cars never small always something with a lot of trunk space like caprices crown vics and impalas. So I'm hoping to build a box that can go into each on my cars with still having the proper air space for the sub or subs. I'm thinking maybe just one 15 will do just fine for me.

    a lot of people i know keep sayin the yellow top would be good but i been reading and other people say that its not for sounds cause i have one of those for the trunk and a regular battery for under the hood would that work
