Posted April 27, 200718 yr i am new in this forum so hii was wondering if the fi btl's can handle 3700-4000 watts rms, daily?
April 28, 200718 yr If you have some options and it's a clean (undistorted) 4kwatts, I say go for it. I've got a memphis 4k on each of my BTLs and they take it fine. Steve Meade and many other forum members are overpowering them quite a bit with no problems I've heard of. If you smell burning, turn it down. Edited April 28, 200718 yr by tejcurrent
April 28, 200718 yr Or as jimj posted (but with a play on words) can your vehicle put out for that kind of power....bad voltage = bad power = sub woofer life shorter.... Edited May 5, 200718 yr by theabunai
April 28, 200718 yr unless you plan on competing, you don't need that much power. i can barely listen to my system with the volume up half way.
May 5, 200718 yr ive got a ma audio hk4000d on my loaded 15" BTL, and i have it where its putting out 3600-3700 watts daily. granted i dont have it cranking for that long, i can still release the power.
May 5, 200718 yr Lloyd tested a BTL and fed it up to 10K the only thing that had the btl freeze wasn't the power but rather the note they played went below box tuning on an amp without the subsonic on it...I seen their test with 6K on the BTL and it took it like a champ and i'm talking 6K full throttle...BUT please remember 4K on a BTL in the hands of someone who doesn't know basic Car audio "know how" can be deadly...Imagine feeding a BTL 4K with a stock alt and bat..... DANGER DANGER DANGER Edited May 5, 200718 yr by theabunai

DANGER DANGER DANGERYo did he make vid's of that, if so do you have them or no where i can see them
May 27, 200718 yr Actually yes he didI believe if you go to ROE then click on the link in his sig about mariah doing 140+ on a mag he and shift through it you'll come upon it...It shows them doing crazy chit like shoving cardboard in the port and letting the BTL spit it out really far ... crazy stuff Edited May 27, 200718 yr by theabunai
