thats what im saying. 3000 watts to my single 12 and it still wasnt near the numbers of 2 of my SSD 10's with 1500 for the pair

well, i have never used the SSD's but wow.

do you remember what each set up hit? id be very interested in hearing this as my friend has 2 18's of the bl's and not NEARLY enough power (3kw) and he is dissapointed. im thinking of recomending him some SSD's

The 2 SSD's did a 141.x to Gucci Mane-Hold That Thought which I think is 33hz, and the BL 12 with an Autotek MM3000 @ 1 ohm did a 137.x

hmm. thats a pretty **** big difference. especially considering power. seeing as me, you, and my friend are not the only ones complaining about the BL's efficiency, i dont know why Fi wouldnt try to soften the suspension up some especially since this is suppose to be a 1kw rated daily beater. like i said, we arent the only ones complaining.

that song is 32hz IIRC. speaking of Gucci Mane...his new cd sucks monkey nuts.

but yea OP, get some SSD's

pretty much a BL with less power handling and lower cost. just your everyday "street" sub

An SSD, given the proper enclosure, will be a heck of a lot less peaky than a BL will be.

what enclosure you guys running them in?

IMO, their recommended sealed volume, with copper coils, is as good as it gets for these drivers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i didnt like them sealed, 1.2 cubes each. they sound ahole lot better ported in a little smaller enclosure them spects.

it depends on your listening tastes. JimJ is the resident SQ guy (as well as others). he will prefer something that blends and sounds better (in a SQ way. usually sealed or another alignment that allows for as flat of a response as possible), then say, what would sound better to me (spl type of application, with "acceptible" peakyness)

i agree with that. I think they sound completely terrible in larger enclosures.

i have one 15 SSD with coppers coils. Im not 100% impressed with it right now but i think its more the box than the sub. other than that, yes they are great subs and i dont plan on getting rid of mine any time soon.

Try getting the TSP's for the copper coil (i think only the AL coil's are giving) Then you can model it.

The ones with copper coil are nice. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
