[QUOTE="BeesEverywhere!, post: 2381567, member: 571714"] "DURABLE" or louder? I would say both go to the solo-x, but here is why (its quite simple) larger voice coil (less power compression, less heat, more output) larger motor more BL product (almost twice as much BL squared divided by dcr) larger cone rubber surround (will not crack) larger suspension (will get true 3" P2P without being stretched or torn) the cone is not paper either, not sure what affect that has on durability if any tbh. The BL and suspension are the dividing factors here, you just can't make up for it, the solo-x can push much more air in the same size box so you can open up the ports and get greater efficiency at resonance. The BTL, while one of the few motors with abnormally high BL product, stands no chance against solo-x or other big league drivers in an equally sized box. I'll let the pawns on teh forum debate this but here is by closing argument, while I am 100% right (as always), it is VERY important to keep in mind, there is no "BEST" the BTL has its differences and don't forget its also 1/2 the price!
