Fi Bl 12" Spl: 88.0dB 1W/1m | 88.4dB 1W/1m

Re XXX 12" Efficiency -SPL 1W/1m: 83.76 dB SPL<fail

the re xxx has a ton of xmax really low fs and a lot of power handling. this was done so it would be a great sq sub in a seal box capable of really low frequency output. could you use it in a ported box sure but the xmax becomes useless and there are much better subs for ported use. the re mt is there ported spl sub. and i believe the btl is better.

interesting... looks like its back to Fi subs possibly

trust us man, you wont regret purchasing an fi sub, or any of the subs weve recommended

should i go with a single 12 btl fully loaded or two 12 fi bls fully loaded?

and are there any Fi dealerships around the ohio area? im trying to look for a dealer locator on their website but i dont see one.

The AQ2200D should be back in stock early december I emailed them and asked so Im holding out for one to put on two 10" Fi BL's... If you dont find a better deal by then its something to think about...

the btl is a great sub you could give it less than rated rms power and be happy but to see its full potential you will need a strong amp and elctrical system costing a lot of money the bl would save you money and reach its full potential with less power. however the hightshade and saz1500d combo is a great deal and just as good as the bl. without doing major electrical upgrades the saz1500 is the biggest amp i would recommend.

see, if i get one btl 12 then if i want something bigger in the future, i can just go with another btl 12. and just have two seperate boxes for each of them

but if i got the 2 12inch bls right now that could mean that i want to upgrade in the future..

and what do all these options mean on the subwoofer? i know some are about cooling, but is fully loaded on the subwoofer the best way to go?

a pair of loaded bl's can take a 3000d and unless you have a killler electrical dont bother.

with a fully loaded btl. i think thats what im going to to with, now for the amp i have no idea someone please recommend something, ive been hearing a LOT about the sundowns but what about mmats? i dont know about hi end amps at this levels so i need some recommendations in a price range of 375 or less, this includes used products as well.

that box would be perfect for a btl 12. 3cuft @ 35hz. sounds good

but idk if its got enough port area

hrmm... how much port area does it need?

would i be better off just getting a box custom made?
