Is this a FI BTL 18?

Is this an fi btl fully loaded? Guy is selling it but never seen a btl with triple stack magnets. If it is, is it worth 280?

looks like it. Guy your buying it from doesnt have a receipt or anything?

Hmm.. Most BTL's are either a really wide short magnet or the Neos..

That is a custom job perhaps?

 

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

He said he bought it straight from fi. I believe it might be the first btl. From 2005-2007

First gen btl's were triple and double stack motors. Looks like a mayhem, basically same thing.

280 seems appropriate, i might try and get him a little lower due to the age on the sub

Is it a fresh recone?

If its that old I would just get something else personally.

 

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

nope its not reconed but he said that he only used it for 4 months, never over rms, and then kept in storage until now. so its pretty new useage wise. hes sending me pics of coils later. so you still think 280 is to much for an 18 beast?

actually its a very nice sub ,and if its what he says condition wise ,its worth every penny of 280 .even worth more

 

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

ill post more pics up when he sends them later. if i get it i might try to trade it on here. looking for a good 15. 18s to big to fit in my car

triple stack btl and the mayhem are awesome subs...worth every bit of 280

 

[Giovanni15 10+ year member]

what you think man?

if you go look at it ,look at the spiders for rips or tears ,also check how still if its what he says it should be very stiff still, and look in all the cooling openings at the coil. finally check the ohms and push down on the sub to feel for scratching .but its a btl triple stack for sure and if in as good of shape as it looks ,its a steal for 270

what should i look for when looking at the coils? what colors are bad? and what if it isnt stiff? he said he'll bring a meter to measure the ohms
