What does the copper coil option do? Does it make the sub more efficient? yes, and makes it less likely to "peak". It also increases power handling.

CVR's are DVC

Depends on the amp, most class D amps are between 80% and 90% efficient, at 4 ohms, and closer to 60% at 1 ohm. With class A/B efficiency is even worse.

Of course, JL doesn't have chit on Fi

What up foo!

LOL Yes lower the efficiency of the amp, it actually has a major impact on the amp.

Whip out a calculator boy! $360 for 6 and $480 for 8. I did that in my head, cause I passed 4th grade.

ETA is November 21st. Give or take...I think

Could I bridge two channels and wire them parallel for 2 ohms? No you cannot bridge it at 2 ohms, it will not be reliable for the long term. Okay then, nevermind. Back to the drawing board!

Not without custom order coils. Would be pretty expensive. Like how much? I just got a 100.4 and I want another one, use 2 channels for these 8's and the others for my rear deck.

Damn you ^ J/K LOL, a 100.2 is next on the list.

Money sent!

Is it possible to make 2 single 2 ohm?

Why's that? Wouldn't I only be able to get 1600w out of the amp @ 2ohms? Is the 3000 over kill for the sub? If so I would go with the 1500. lol no the btl can handle up to 5000W, a 3000D would be perfect for daily use So, remove HiXim coil? And back to my question wouldn't I only get 1600w if the sub is a 2ohms? Check the my post above buddy.

I buy these in 2/0 Gauge, solid brass: I solder it with a propane torch and it looks like this: Then wrap it in this loom:

Great score, did you run at all though?

Wise tactic.

$2.75 here

Uhhh, I'm pretty sure he's talking about this sub...

Its actually a toss up though, if you want to get louder with the same power get the BTL. Given the same amp, lets say a Sundown SAZ 1500D hooked up to a fully loaded BL, yes it will be loud, take the same amp and put it on a BTL, it will get even louder. But do you want to pay extra for a few tenths of a dB? Most people will say no, but I think its smarter to get the BTL and then that will leave room for improvement. good advice and yes the btl is fi's loudest sub but like he said 2 12 btl's. ull need some powerful amps to run their 2000w rms and some good electrical That's the beauty of the BTL though! You could have 1000 watts RMS between the both of them and clip the hell out of them and still be fine.

How so? He wants a sub that is loud that sounds decent. What's confusing about that. From what I hear on this forum the BL's do sound decent and get loud. Both the BL and BTL have a Daily and a SPL option. He wants something for a loud daily driver that'll sound decent. Daily doesn't mean it will sound good, it means that there is a bigger gap between the magnet and the voice coil, it is more forgiving than the SPL option which is a VERY small gap. You only use the SPL option for a one note burp, play music and you will be sorry.
