box seems small //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

biggest you can fit?

i should clarify that the amp puts out

2000x2 @ 1 ohm

or

4000x1 @ 2ohms

tc subs don't fit in

*edit well the power i have i think that the smaller the better. but i can go to 3.5 @ 33

nice specks on that amp, how much are they and where you geddum? if your going this hard into your sub stage, i would not compramise on your subwoofer/box combination.decide which sub is the right one for you and then make that bish fit!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

im in the same situation. looking to buy within the next week so im interested in this also. kinda leaning towards the 9515 jus because its kinda proven it self

You know how I feel about this situation

thats a really good 1, those are the subs i was thinkin of running, in a 18 version though. hmmmm i'd go wit btls only becuz they have 18s, but i hear DD may have a 18 version in the 9500 serious, which would be awesome

Own a BTL15 w/ all options, and had experience with a 9515...

If you are all about low bass, then go with the BTL. I'd try to squeeze out 3.5 cubes NET.

scott seems to believe the BTL can hang with the 95 no problems, from what i can see. price really is what sets the two apart....and for a 9515 your paying a good 600+ with the club discount.

i picked 95f for overall. NG has a good point, the btl will perform better in the raw bottom end. MY 95's sounded better in a drop-in situation w/MTs. With that small of a box, either could take the full power of that amp too.

to the guy wondering about 18's, DD will only do Kevlar in that size right now.

My MT ended up sounding like poop. I liked it at first, but then when I had over a dozen different 15's in the same box, I realized how much it REALLY lacked in SQ.

The BTL has much better SQ than the MT. Still not an "SQ" oriented sub, but it is much more musical than the MT was.

Just something else I observed.
