RE MT, Fi BTL, DD 9518g.. They could all use a bit more power, though.

dont have the money for a mt or 9518... do you think a bl or q with the BP option would get louder than the btl?

What's the tuning?

 

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

33hz

Louder? They will only get as loud as the power you give them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif At 33Hz, I'd stick to the BL.

Why? With the lower tuning and power, I think it would be better suited for the Q if he wanted to stick with Fi. I think another option would be the Treo SSI 18, but I don't know how that would react to that large of a box.

Because the Q's I've heard are 28-30Hz. Power is going to be about the same for both.

hum with that setup how bout a SS Rlp 18 might sound **** good in that application. Or maybe a q,havoc, or HDC318 as the others sugested.

That's kind of a big box for the RL-p.

well i dont want to go any smaller because its going in place of the backseat of my extended cab truck.. i want it to go from door to door because the back wall looks like shit. is 122 in^2 of port too much for a BL on say 1300 watts? Im using the Re enclosure calculator and if i go any smaller than 122 in port the tuning frequency drops below 32

What are you after? Sheer volume or SQ?

 

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

spl without horrible sq.... its for daily listening... no competitions or anything

 

[dB-SPL 10+ year member]

122 sq. in. will be fine.. Brings you to some 14.X Sq. in. per cube.
