Fi BTL (couple month review)

[meade916 10+ year member]

been beatin the **** out of my subs for a few months with more then double the RMS on them and they have performed 100% reliablility. No blown or "scratchy coils", no black marks on my tinsels, no tinsel slap, no damage to the spider. In fact i get the impression Scott WANTS me to roast something so he can see if theres any weak points to be addressed. So far it aint happnin....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Best subs i ever owned hands down. Still sound great in fact i could argue they sound better now that im workin them in a little.

Its been 3 maybe 4 months so I Just wanted to let everyone know my thoughts on this sub.

Steve I think its time you do a BTL swap for the MT's and 2 More 4kw's in Chickens old lade

 

[meade916 10+ year member]

do you have any idea what its like to swap a sub out in that Plexi box in chickens caddy? LOL if you did youd say "****, them some fine RE's JUST the way they are"....

i had a motor shift on one of his MT15's and it pinched the coil to its death.....so i had to replace ONE. It was the hardest thing i ever had to do (well one the hardest) and on top of that you have to walk on eggshells because i dont wanna damage the mirror finish or the plexi itself. One slip and its OVER while messin with that box.......

The new project (the "hooptie") will have 8 BTL 18's in it ran off the Rockford T15k so keep your eye out for that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Was your MT to BTL swap a direct swap? Same amps and all>?

 

[GrnEydDvl 10+ year member]

I've had mine installed for about 24 hours and I don't think I could ask more out of an SPL oriented sub. It has to still be breaking in and I haven't heard a ton of current subs but I am very impressed with the sq of this monster. It is musical to say the least. Oh yeah, and it gets retarded loud.

It is kind of odd owning a sub that takes the (potential) 2500+ watts I have on tap and acts like it is nothing. It doesn't get pushed out of shape no matter how hard I've wailed on it

considering the MT's were on the new RF T4k's for a few weeks i would say it was a direct swap. The MT's like the new amps way better than the old ones. The ohm load i was running wasnt good for my RF amps and i actually had one go bad so the MT's saw mainly only 2 of the T4k's untill i did the swap. They hammered hard as hell to.
