DD9918 or FI BTL 18"

[kowboy 10+ year member]

Hey guys...This isn't necessarily a this vs. that comparison. I think I know which sub is "better", (but I think they're very close) My dilemma (if u can call it that) is this:

USED dd 9918 for $600...

or

NEW fi btl for $500

yeah...I'm about to pay for it. I just thought about all the "18 subs I could buy new - within that same price/performance range.

i like my btl 18 but dd's 9918 is pretty nice as well.. just go for the cheaper one btl and it'll be new not used //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

well if it was a used 9500 it'd be more even but since it is the 9918 (which costs most people +1000$) i'd definately go with the 9918!!!

i'd go with a new sub... who knows what kind of condition a "competition" sub is in when bought used. it was most likely abused or at least pushed to its limits. unless the seller is reputable enough or you've seen/heard it in person...

I still dont know what your after man, sound, size, quality? But since you obviously cant say, because you just want to know what people would pick, I WOULD PICK THE DD

depends on what kind of power you have for either one
