i know it doesnt seem it, but i do appreciate the help, i dont mean to be rude, i know it make come off that way, but its not on purpose, i have had 2 of these trucks and i know what has worked well for me in the past, and generally when someone has had good experiences with doing things a certain way, its hard to change their mind on how they do things.

with that being said, with the reseach i have done on the BTL, and the youtube vids i have seen of them, in combination with the fact that i have been subless for 6 months, i think i will be very happy with the output of the BTL 18. lol at this point, after listening to a stock radio for 6 months i think id be happy with 1 10 lol.

I'm extremely happy with my BTL N2 18. Check out my youtube channel. I've got a couple vids of it running sub forward port forward on a Hifonics Brutus. Should be on an AQ2200D, but unfortunately I got a lemon Waiting for a new one now..

But yeah, check out my channel for a few vids

I would listen to Shizzzon.....no sense loosing viewing area if you can help it. I cant remember if you said you still have the sd's but if you do i really think you should consider a new box. Im no expert, but if your box is too small you could potentially be happy with a box built to spec. Everyone says its 90% install

also consider the nightshade from sundown maybe? but everytime i've heard anyone speak of a btl especially the 15 or 18, they are always loud, always hit low, and sound decent, this is what i've heard, hopefully going to some more competitions this year, ill hear a daily setup with some btl's and some other companies stuff.....i'd like to have my own opinion instead of everyone elses

i ordered the BTL 18 fully loaded, i should be happy with that

as for the sdc2.5 15's, yeah i still have them, but i was never able to get them to really hit the lows like i wanted, even when tuned to 32hz, so i gave up on them, i wanted something different anyway, i wanted to upgrade from a entry level sub (sdc2.5) to a high end sub and see how it compares.

ohh and playing with the numbers, i came up with 30" high, 45" wide, and 15" deep, that will leave me with half my rear window to see out of, after taking out port area and bracing, im left with 7.5 cubes tuned to 32hz, should get loud and low.
