In my garage the bass would make this sliding glass goor noticably vibrate. It's cool to take video of the effects of what your system does to surrounding objects...
like this...

What were you playing that time? low or high?

Meet up with Dante last night and all i can say HOLY Sh!t. The sub was moving, got loud and low. Couldnt believe how well it played. I had a Treo CSX(spl sub) before and didnt like the sq on it and the fact that it didnt get low. And thats the case with this sub. The funny thing is, is that after i left dante told me that the sub control was only on 5 out of 15, Im still amazed that the sub can get louder than it was. Great sub....

if you have an alpine head unit with the gains on your amp set properly the difference from +5 to +15 is quite a big difference!

I know i had an alpine before my kenwood. Cant even imagine what it would be like at 15.

Yup, I usually set my gains around 10-12 on the subout @volume 31... and adjust from there...

Glad you love it Dante.

Any idea how the BTL would perform if it was only given around 1000-1500w?

i've heard online that +15 on the sub out is really reference and it just attenuates down //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

i always set the gain at +15 on the sub out and 25/35 main volume //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i feel that gives me a good range to be able to adjust the sub down for less bumpage.

True, I turn my sub output to +15 and set my gains, also.

Volume 25 is no where near full pre-out voltage //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

If you set your gain's with a volume of just over 3/4 (so where you set your gains with a DMM to your calculated voltage) it's fine right?

What headunit's are you using to have a control like that for sub-out gain?

Alpine 9835 HU...

This is a good thread.

Is 30 inches of prot enough for a btl?

I'd give it at least 60... for a 15"

I had 90 sq. in. of port for mine...

Yea, i agree with Noah. 30 is too little for a 15, maybe for a 12 though.
