oh and a ssx 18

 

[BassBallin]

so what one of all those has good sq and will still get loud as shit?

 

[xtremebassjunky 10+ year member]

the ssx 18 i had did that....

honestly they all should sound good... if you build your box right.

well i was proble leanin twards a btl or a solo x

maybe goin with 2 in the future, i kno i could do that with the btl but not the solo x

would the ma hk4000 be good on power to power 2 btl's fully loaded?

also what is a good score that people have gotten with a single 18 btl?

your not going to get 4k outta that amp. An MT or BTL would work just fine, and should wang in a nice box.

[BassBallin]

what do you have to do to your car?

I did for over a year...2 V4000XD's, 4 16v turbostarts...2 18" MT's

Just go ahead and buy a BTL. Of your other options (and you have a pretty good list up there) it is one of the cheaper subs, it will handle the power, and can sound okay in a good box. Personally I would want to try out the new IA Death Penalty to see how loud it can get, but the price might be more than you want to pay. Also, like has been said the 4000D is rated at 4000 @ 2 ohm on 16-17 volts, not the 12.5 - 14.4 you'll see from a 12 volt electrical system.
