Looking for final opinions before I buy.

I'm about a week away from buying two SS XXX 15s. I intend to run two Autotek MM4000.1Ds to them in about 8 cubes at 30 Hz. This is in the back of an 04 TrailBlazer subs up port back. While I am certain this will get loud I am finding myself leaning towards the fully loaded BTL 15s. The Autoteks would be too much power for the BTLs but let's say you had the option. The SS XXX setup with the Autoteks which, at 3 ohms, would give each sub around 3000 watts, or two Fi BTL 15s in the same box in the same vehicle as the SS with about 2500 watts to each? I am getting a good deal on the SS so even they are still going to cost more I am not unwilling to pay for it. Which would you choose and why? And I already know that I am comparing two completely different types of subs. I just want some last minute opinions before I commit. Thanks.

don't buy the SS XXX's..........coming from personal experience, your money is well suited for a pair of BTL's or DD's.

wow, so what didn't you like about the SS?

um.........everything!

Suspension was very sloppy (fresh recones, twice)......took about 2k just to them to start moving, HUGE VC gap........shall I continue?

can you explain to me the difference between a wide and narrow gap? i assume this affects motor strength and efficiency but i'm not sure. as far as spl how do you think the BTL would stand up to the SS? form what I hear the SS will eat up the BTL in SQ but honestly I think I would rather be louder if possible.
