I dont necessarily "want" to thats just how its in now. The team 18 is dual 1. It needed broke in because he has yet to build a box and just got himself an 08 tahoe ltz. My electrical can take it but yes i know if something fails itll probably take my amp and sub out. Mainly because when it comes time for the second sub i can wire them to 2ohm and make my final load 1ohm. Still aways down the road but im trying to plan ahead.

Thatll probably be the case. Im looking to build a newbox for the new sub once it arrives. The box ive got now was built to smash lows and it does awesome. Unfortunatly thro the years ive torn up lots of great stuff (couple mtx 2300s back in the day, lost grounds, both amps up in flames). You live and learn. Sometimes cheaply. Sometimes quite the opposite.

I wouldnt think either. As far as musically im leaning toward the evil. Down the road i plan on walling and a second sub and amp but thats a ways away still. Ive heard great things about both subs.

Ok back in and playing. 1/2 0hm didnt see below 12.2 at idle on 1 240 mechman and 1 northstar 220. I know the jeep is a far cry from the merc but im quite pleased with synergy audio. Hope it helps

I didnt realize they came from the same build house. Finally got ahold of someone! 18-20 days build time so ill leave it a suprise.. bright side quality either way should be awesome

Well with no contact back by any means from FI i may just pick up an evil 18. Is the evil the same motor and basket as the ascendant team subs just with different soft parts? Doesnt matter to me really just wondering. Mabey its just me but customer service should be a big part of making sales. Especially when forking out large amounts of $$$$$$

Much appriciated mark. One way or another there will be more to come. Probably selling my bagged ranger to have my garage back and looking at buying a suburban. So alot more lol.

So biltd has the ins? Ive been trying to reach them too and my emails are returned and im told inbox is full? I want to order a new sp4v2 18 but not being able to get ahold of anybody has me wondering if im going to head another route

Welcome to the fam!

Ill let you know after this weekend what my voltage looks like. Im running a synergy 35.1 for the sub and on crap electrical it did fine (2000 jeep cherokee sport) now ive rewired. Put in a voltage gauge. 2 runs of 2/0 to the rear. Mechman 240 and my northstar agm 220 is going in saturday. Ill be running at .5 until i can decide on a new sub so ill be using my buddys ascendant team 18 untill then. Havnt seen what itll look like on the fresh rebuild but the synergy amps are awesome. Also have a 150.4 for the highs i picked up from ssa that has yet to go in.

Lol good point. Thats how ive always done things. Guess theres no need to change it now

I know of the o scope method but dont know anyone that has one.

Hopefully ill be good. The main reason for wanting the btl is to shed some weight. Going from a 70lb 18 to a 58lb neo is only a 12 lb difference.. mabey id be safer with the sp4. Im debating ordering a dd1 to set everything. Itll get used by 3 mabey 4 people. Its worth it to save my equipment from disaster but itll need to take the abuse every day. And i could smell the coil on the sundown once in a while so.. this is an awesome build here in the works. Wish i could hear it once its done

Freaking awesome. Thanks for the imput. As soon as the cash is together thats what im gonna order then. I need to save some weight and if they can take it im on board.

Yea i watched a video of a single dd sub i believe a 12 or 15 hit a 155. But at like 71 hz or something that nature. Crazy high. Built for one purpose. I want the happy medium but its turned into a complete rebuild so i dunno. Sold my sundown zv4 18 so i planned on an FI sp4v2 or Btl but ive been trying to contact Fi and it said theyre email is full. Id like to talk to them first. Keep it up and im gonna say screw it and order a evil 18.

Is this playing yet? Heeeeelllppppp! Sold my zv4 today. If this is playing and that btl can take that power im sold on picking one up. My buddys trying to talk me into a dc level 6 or a psi plat 5. Way too much weight for my liking

Looks like the zv4 might be sold if dude shows up monday. Time for a freshie!

Just wondering opinions. Ive been eyeing both. God the new btl is sexy... but lacks a 4" coil. Which the sp4 has. But isnt as sexy. Running a sundown zv4 18 now and i have the itch for a new sub. It will go on my synergy 35.1. And really wanting to add a second amp and sub down the road. This will be used daily if that helps... opinions? Ive never ran FI but its going to happen if i can make up my mind.

Thank you sir.

Well tried to post pics but wont let me access the pics in my phone. Bummer

Lmao man i can remember being a kid and being inside hills staring at the purple "urban" 12s and 10s saying to myself one day ill have some of those... this is an awesome thread btw. My first actual system was a california 1200 on some california baja 12's. I found a pic of my old kicker setup in my 92 saturn sl2. No sub shots but old kicker xs100 on some solobaric 15s. Round. Sealed box. Ill dig that up and post in the morning.

Thought about that route too. But i have this addiction since my first car back in 99 that i cant run the same setup for more than a year without getting something new. My old lady doesnt understand it. She knows what i spend on things and just shakes her head. Plus the zv4 18s are getting harder to find. That may change with the zv5s coming out. All the audio shops here sell memphis, jl audio, american bass, ect. Theres nothing wrong with that or the companys... i never was a fan of american bass until i heard my buddys 3 xfl's in his durango. But everybody runs the same equipment. Plus my buddy that owns a shop that sells all memphis.. i like getting under his skin. Hes comment when i got the sundown was "i wonder if its louder than a mojo" um yes. One sub doing 143.7 out the gate on crap electrical and no tuning was.

Very true. Id rather be slightly underpowered than overpowered in a daily setup. Plus it leaves room to go bigger without having to change subs again down the road to go up in power.

I just put my zv4 up for sale on cl to see if i get any bites.. the itch is real. Lol. Notorious thanks for the imput. You too bluedreamz... the btl could probably take the 35.1 all day and just add another and another amp down the road. The future goal is 2 18s but thats a ways down the road
