Finally Ordered 18's again

Recommended Posts

Its been awhile since I had good pair of 18s, and I just ordered 2 FI BL 18s with cooling and flatwind. That was by far my best pair of subs I have owned in the past and decided to go back with what I have had the best luck with. Going in a 2012 scion xb

Congrats! Sounds like enough to blow your head off lol. My buddy just ordered a 15" BL today with cooling, flatwind, and hyperpole I think. I'll likely be ordering the same or an 18 soon.

That's kinda my thinking lol. Owned 15's, but never anything bigger. Space is the only issue.

I ran 2 bl 18's in an expedition for over 2 years off 2 sundown 1500d's strapped and then changed to a sundown 3500d. Then I have ran seems like everything since then so I figured why not go back to what I was happy with at first

Just curios, mind sharing what else you have used and how they compare in your opinion? I have a set of loaded 12 BL's and was contemplating in making them into 18's. Or just getting a BTL Neo.

Actually I ran fi bl 12 on a sundown 1500d before I bought the 18's. Then I got 2 aq hdc3 12's off a sundown 3500 which was very loud, people were suprised to see it was just a pair of 12's. Then i bought this little scion xb and ran a pair of skar 12's and skar 1500d for a month and they ok but nothing like I really wanted so I changed to a pair of obsidian 18's off the skar 1500d. They sounded clean, very low but just didnt give me the output I wanted, possibly because they only had 1500 watts to the pair, but even after 5 minutes they would get stinky. Then psi p2 12', then aq hdc3 10" off aq 2200d. And now back to the bl 18's. I wanted to do the sp4 18's but really didnt have the extra money for them right now. And Im trying to sell my 2200d to get a 3500 so I figured the bl's would be a good choice just for daily driver.

When I went through all the orders Friday before I left, We have a stack of BL orders to do. RIght now it seems the most popular subs (right now) are BL's or SP4's bar none.

I did a lot of burps with two SPL BL 12s, they really can take anything mechanically. Took me forever to find a buyer tho. Ended up selling them individually to other SPL guys, but i kinda wish I hadn't. They were a lot of fun to play around with.

But two 18" BLs is no joke. I know the SP4s are a hot ticket right now but you won't be too shabby with the BLs either. Keep us updated!
