BTL question

[Buck 5,000+ posts]

How musical is the BTL compared to something like a DD 9500 series? I'm looking at 3k watts to one sub for a daily driver. Just trying to find the "better sounding" 3kw sub. I know there are A LOT of other factors that come into play here, but I'm simply just comparing the subs themselves.

Why not a deathpenalty! The btl doesn't sound as neer as good as a dp!

i have heard a lot of subs in italy

and, for me, btl is a very good choise for good sounding..

the 9500 is, for me, a good sub for spl and music, like Fi

but the btl is mooooore cheaper than the DD

Go with a BTL. They aren't focals, but mine is loud on music and sounds good doing it.

The BTL is a nice sub. The motor is strong and it has a nice sized gap which allows you to be flexible in what coil you can use with it. Every BTL I have had has been musical and was loud as shiet.

Now the only question is what kind of enclosure to use. I was thinking maybe a rear loaded horn enclosure from PWK or a 4th order bandpass.
