Something That Murders the Lows

[GreekBrotha8 10+ year member]

Looking for a sub/subs that absolutely crushes the lows while getting loud doing it. The max airspace I have is 4 cubes and I have about 1200 watts on tap but hopefully will be upgrading to 2k in the future. Will be in a trunk. Right now I have a single 12 vvx at 30 hz and its leaving me wanting more..have that to trade and a 10 inch alpine type x if anyone is interested. Budget is around $250-$300 but for the right deal I may be able to swing a bit more.

How much? Also I'm pretty uneducated when it comes to this stuff, what does BL mmean? Always wondered lol

$350shipped

BL - The magnetic strength of the motor structure. "Expressed in Tesla meters, this is a measurement of the motor strength of a speaker. Think of this as how good a weightlifter the transducer is. A measured mass is applied to the cone forcing it back while the current required for the motor to force the mass back is measured. The formula is mass in grams divided by the current in amperes. A high BL figure indicates a very strong transducer that moves the cone with authority!"

Thanks for the info man! I'll let you know about that atmos.

What about a Fi sp4? Would a 1000 watts just be wasted on it? I realize this is on the wanting to buy section and I apologize for all the questions lol

Yep, they are kinda inefficient, from what I have seen, stick with a nice 3" coil until you get more power

Id get a 15" of some sort with a 3" coil.. something that can take the power. If you dont have much airspace to work with, like me in my car, gotta have a beefier sub and more power to throw at it..

You don't want an sp4 unless you have 3500-4000 watts to move it.

Alright final question for you boomsday, how would a fully loaded fi btl n2 work for my application? Better than the atmos? Hes selling it for 300+shipping which I thought was a pretty good price.

The atmos will murder the lows better, it will sound better, and still be very loud, but the BTL has the potential to get louder if you wanted to switch it up to an spl setup, but for a daily low end monster, not many can touch an Atmos
