RD bro!

based off what? you saying so?

what's the budget, btls can be had for less new. Either one will get plenty loud and sound fine for most daily users.

Unfortuantely ive never owned a BTL, but am pretty up on its design. Ive owned a **** ton of RD subs, and IMO they're pretty close in form and function to the BTL.

Now if you were talkin' an SHW, that would be a different story //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif (which just means more thermal handling due to the 4" coil)

well, if the guy wants to pump a bunch of power into it - the 4" coil is the way to go.

Sorry to thread jack, but is the RD Studio Series any good?

The QTS on the 15" is good. I might try a T-Line with it.
