spl speaker for daily use? Is it ok?

[sethbuckner 10+ year member]

i've heard rumors that SPL speakers such as fi btl, dc soundlabs, , dd and others arn't exactly designed for daily use... I'm wanting to upgrade from kicker cvx's and solo barics to either a 12" or 15" fi btl or dc lvl 4 or 5... I will be using this vehicle and system on a daily basis. What is everyone's input and opinion on this?

thanks in advance.

Those speakers will be great for daily in a proper enclosure.

They will all be fine for daily use. Just some SPL woofers are extremely stiff and dont get low. But the ones you listed should do fine.

They'll play loud daily, but aren't necessarily a top choice for sound quality. However, I bet they'll still sound better than those Kickers, especially if you've had L7's.

thanks for all of the quick responses.

now with all of the talk about loss in sound quality, what company tries to walk the razor's edge between both worlds?

Why would you want to?

It all comes down to how it's installed and set up...you can make a BTL sound decent, but it wouldn't be a typical application and would likely result in damage if not used properly //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

look at the FS of the sub. that tells you the spl or daily option right there. if a subs FS is 45 htz then ur probly not gonna like the way it sounds in a good 35 htz tuned box
