Which would you pick?

I'm running through different sub options to get an idea of how I can improve my setup without changing too much of it. ie. the box.

So here is the question. Same box, same power, same car. Which would you pick? SXs or SI Mags

Before anyone says it I know the woofers are on two different levels and I'm sure most people are gonna say Mags. Buy why the Mag for you and if you prefer the SXs? Why?

if you just want the loudest boomy bass you can have get the mag , if you want excellent accurate musical bass on everthing you listen too get something else.

I always understood the Mag to be a very musical woofer

how do you want your new bass to be different from the sx-ses? describe your current sound and how you want it to be different

I want louder but not at the loss of what SQ i do have. But I need a drop in replacement. And the thought of getting two more nine.1s has crossed my mind but only if I need to. Of course, the mags are out the window if I do that and I'll be using two FI BTL 15s. That actually sounds like a good idea.

8 cubes net @ 32Hz

+ (2) Fi BTL dual 1 ohm 15s

+ 4 eD nine.1s

I was just checking the BTL out. Not a very sensitive driver. T/S parameters aren't stellar. What does everyone else think.

Nevermind i was looking at the 10. The 15s specs look much nicer. Wonder why that is? You would think most specs would be similar despite size difference.

Also, whats the deal with the third slug on the BTL? What differences does this mean as opposed to just two magnets. How does this affect perfomance?
