[QUOTE="46panel, post: 5005053, member: 589115"] I recently heard a new BTL 18" in a wall in a suv behind the second row of seats that was done by a young kid...(I am one as well tho). He blew his RF t2001bd and had it playing on a borrowed mtx amp that was only pushing around 800 watts. It still was dang loud, sounded decent and definetly louder then my two T1 12's off a T1001bd. Ever since I heard it I planned on getting two 18's. I have one of the older style directed 2400D amplifiers that actually put their rated power of 2400 at 2 ohms. I have heard that the BTL is much more effiecient then the BL and most people recommend just getting the BTL . My first plan was to get two BL's but now after thinking about it I really want the BTL's cuz I know I would want to upgrade my amp eventually. After hearing only one 18 BTL off 800 watts I just know that two off 1200 a peiece would be very nice. I know that power would be better for a Q or BL but I know that I would get more power eventually. I plan on walling off my car I have already designed a few boxes that would work. Around 14 cubes after sub and port, tuned to 33. I will do the big three for now and have a solid battery under the hood as well as one in the back and then when I do upgrade my amp, I would get a high output alt. I would set my amp correctly cuz I know it would not even come close to powering them all the way and wouldnt want to send it a bad signal, but I'm sure it would still be dang loud and leave room to upgrade.
