Im about to start my build in the next week or so and I'd like some opinions to help me decide which sub/s to go with. To start off I drive a 97 grand marquis with a 200 amp ho alt with the big 3. Im going to run knukoncepts 1/0 and have 2 Power Broadband MGC-120 Series Batteries. The amp I'm going to be using is a sundown saz3000d. I can't decide if I want to go with the new btl that comes out may 1st fully loaded or 2 fi q's with the bp power option. Either set up the sub size will be 18". Right now I have a 18" bl and a jl 1000/1 so if I go with the btl i can use my old box, but thats not a big deal.

I listen to mainly rap (gucci mane, jeezy, etc.) but have all kinds of music on my ipod so the versatility of the q's would be nice, but how do you think they'd compare in output? Do the q's get as low as the btl's? By the way the box size I'd be using for the btl is: http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp?Ew=40&Eh=21&Dia=11&Xmax=20&Vd=0.23&NumW=1&Vb=7&Fb=32&Qts=&Vas=&Fs=&CE=0

The q's box would be 20"H x 36"W. Sidedepth's of 20" and a center depth of 24".

7.231^3ft grossvol. Each chamber after alldisplacement, 3.318^3ft. if I put 2lbs

of polly fill in each chamber, the chamber will be up to 5.318^3fteach.

Sorry for the long post what do you guys think? thanks

 
go for the BTL. if you're gonna consider doin 2 18s, then get another BL and be set. also, how would you have been able to get 2 18s in a grand marquis. i know the trunk is big but goodness!

If I could get another bl i would already have it but it wont fit. The q's can be put in a sealed box and it'd be a tight squeeze but it'd fit. I like my bl I just want something louder for when the need be. Any more opinions?

Also where at in ohio are you from illbmeubu?
