[QUOTE="MikeyB, post: 5007157, member: 562290"] True, just with my experience with the BTL, due to the stiffness of the suspension, it took lots of power to really get the low end out of it. Its hard to compare it to another driver off the same amount of power, but its clear that you wont get near the same performance or low end ability out of it with little power. (Though it may indeed out perform another driver off the same power heads up) It just seems like a waste to me to grossly under power it. But to the OP, if you really do plan on upgrading your electrical and adding another amp down the line, then the BTL wont be a bad choice, I just really dont favor it all that much for daily use, unless your tuning it really low. Thats just me personally though, and to each their own. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] But to talk 'real wattage' when I clamped my KX 2500 (which birth sheets have claimed up to 2900wrms @ 2ohm) on my BTL, at most it was seeing 1660wrms. But that thing did 'SLAM' the low end like no other driver Ive heard. It has tons of authority, I just dont personally like that with all music. [/QUOTE]
