    DC or AudioQue or FI

    I am torn between these subs so what would you do.

    FI BTL 18
    DC Level 4 XL 18
    AudioQue HDC3 18 with aluminum coils

    I want to know which will handle more power and get louder all of the choices in the proper enclosure

    The DC's get abused with overkill power a lot around here; and they take it well in most cases.

    They get loud and still sound pretty good.

    However, all 3 subs mentioned are well made and get loud.

    I say DC, but only because I'm biased.

    "Louder" is only what you make of it. No particular brand will outshine the other.

    The BTL is built like a tank and can handle some serious abuse. If it were me choosing, I would pick that one.
    Can't put it as an avatar so this is the next best thing..
