2 sa 12's or 1 Fi BTL 15?

[okiestylin]

I wish I could do an 18...but wouldn't most call for a HUGE box?

And I want to go with more power but Idk how much my alt can handle...I have 0 gauge ofc ran with a kinetik 1400 in the back and I don't drop into the 12s on voltage. Usually goes lowest 13.3 full tilt..is there room for even a more powerful amp?

I also have the big 3 done as well. Could I honestly handle a 2200 watt amp without having to replace my alternator?

Yea if u add another batt u should be fine ..and most 18s want 6-8 cubes

Don't multiple batteries in turn put more stress on your alternator for charging purposes?

Nice 636 as well by the way bro. I have one myself! Just wanna add that now I'm gonna get back on the task at hand lol

Bit in the long haul yes if u plan on keeping the car and uppimg the power save up and get a alt

 

[okiestylin]

I'll have a new car this time next year..my bad tho bro. Looks like a 636 from the pic...even the rims look like my 636 3 spokes. Hmmm...maybe I should go to a 2200 and add another kinetik batt...like a kinetic 800 or something

Nah snag another 1400 or sell the 1400s and get a g31 duracell

The g31 is a powerful as 2 kinetic 1400s and cost 170 ..buy one and put the 1400 under the hood

Thank you. There is too much Sundown nut hugging. I've owned a pair of SA's and feel like an outcast saying I was incredibly disappointed. I had a 15" BL in their prior that to the pair of 12s and I preferred it in nearly every aspect.

Same here, I got much more performance out of my c2 15 than the sundown.

BTL 15 no question. Better quality and sound in my personal experience than the SA's

 

[okiestylin]

Interesting..Most of you guys are sayin the btl 15" over the two sa 12s...but are you keeping in mind the adequate custom box that I would put each in and the amp I'm currently running?

 

[okiestylin]

I thought two 12s would usually always have more output than 1 15 on the same power because of cone area...given they are in they're optimum enclosures...am I wrong?
