About configure the speaker.
Laurel medalist 35 hu?? I we dont have those here in America but I googled the car and looked a the trunk....IF you are really set on BTLs the trunk will be 90% taken up by the box and amps.....i dont want to sound like im tryin to talk you out of your choice but I just want you to be fully aware of what this will involve. One BTL will be a serious step up from the other subs that you have had in the past in your cars. I would look into just on BTL or one BL I have seen single a 15 push 140 db at the dash and still be a daily driver. - The gap in the SPL woofer is much tighter and FAR less forgiving in comparison to the Daily option. The Daily option simply gives the coil more wiggle room inside of the gap to deal with the non-linearity tendencies that you can get into when you are using a sub in a daily driving scenario. Typically SPL applications deal with 1 note and it does not change, therefore we can make the gap much tighter and get all of the motor strength that we can out of it.

About configure the speaker.
Well if you are sorta new to the audio thing then I dont think BTLs are what you are guna want. they are totally stupid loud and will attempt to pound you brain right out of your noodle. I wish I could better answer your question could you give me some info about the car you intend on putting them in???? YOU DO NOT WANT THE SPL OPTION that has a very tight tolerance in the motor gap choose daily unless this will be a pressure vessel only. To make those things happy your going to need a min of 4k rms that's CLEAN if you get them fully loaded the ur guna need 5k of clean power and that will involve extra batteries, 300 amp alt, 0 gauge wire...etc....bottom line if you get those just beware that your in for a LOT upgrading and work PS the box is going to be big like 7cubs ported only, they wont run sealed

Blown sub
If the thing Omhs out and it still moves freely with no scratching or rough spots then I dont think the sub is bown. If you are still hearing bass them their is a complete circuit in through the coil. only thing I cold think of is if something crazy happened like the magnent cracked in half but if that was the case you would not be ordering a recone so im guna say no... I am proly wrong if I am someone help me here

basic headunit
Was just pokein round online ran into this, but it is a pioneer so becareful of the cheap perouts, they have a micro fuse that tends to go and then you get a hiss. I dont know if the Premeer comes with better ones or not I know my prs880 has good 5v pre outs not sure of this model tho. this problem can be fixed if you ground the sheilding of the RCA in the even it happens http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_17693_...DEH-P510UB.html

rockford or Alphasonic
im with casedawg350 If that BL is just a basic it will proly take 1200 if its fully loaded it will handle 1600 with out breaking a sweat. I would go rockford, but even then ur still on the low side of things Ive got an elemental desings NINE.1 that only ran me 300 from the factory and im puttin down 1582 @ 1ohm and I ran it a half ohm for a couple weeks she took it with little heat and thats no company hype that was my own personal bench test.... i duno just a thought

Nine.1 amps on Btl 15s
I have a ed nine.1 on a fully loaded 15 bl eh its OK but my windshield hasn't blow straight out of the car like a god damn bomb went off in my front seat yet so its ok, i think could be louder but thats not the amps fault. Mine was bench tested at 1572 wrms @ a solid 14.5 volts so they are under rated. I have not had to call on my warranty yet but every time I emailed them they were fast to reply to my questions.

spl level
I've got a 15' Bl fully loaded in 3 cubs also.... I turned mine around in a 04 Taurus and not it wasn't louder only gain was the bass seemed to be a bit more punchy with double bass kicks in some hard core grunge metal type music but thats about it if your into rap I would proly leave it

Nothin like the smell of coil in the mornin!!
Oh no no, I had my professor use a tone generator on the amp with an imput of 7.2 because the the amp has a max input of 8 volts. I just wanted to keep E.d. honest with their power claims. Even when we subed in the tone generator as the head unit still I got the damn coil smell. My HU is a pioneer DEH-P800PRS thats got 5 volt pre outs. when I FIRST got the sub in the car I just did it by ear turn up the hu 75% and the back it of.... (you get the Idea) then after couple days just redid it with a Fluke 87V DMM and a fluke amp clamp just got it within 50watts +/- of 1300watts sooooo.... yeah All I really want to know is if its guna be ok then screw it ill crank it and have no mercy on the thing,

Nothin like the smell of coil in the mornin!!
Hey guys first time post, but def. not new to the car audio thing. This is the first time I have used FI products and I was wondering if it is normal to smell just a little coil when the sub in new (mine has only like 1 week of use on it). Im pushing it with a Elemental Designs Nine.1 its underrated at 1200wrms @ 12.5 vdc no clipped signal I checked with the o scope at college im gettin a good clean 7.3 volts from the preouts. I want to push about 1500wrms to it but im gun shy with the coil thing...can she take more or should I just get one more to feed my 30htz @ 140db addiction??
