the727kid · 03-04-2008, 09:17 PM

Yea, what type of car? That will be loud as hell, what you running for a front stage?

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 09:20 PM

i putting together a 1995 Honda Accord coupe. what do you mean by front stage? i know im kind of newb to the whole audio thing so i dont know all the lingo yet.

the727kid · 03-04-2008, 09:26 PM

Front stage basically = mids and highs

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 09:36 PM

ok here is the whole set up.

Head Unit: Pioneer AVH-P4900DVD
Mids, Highs, and Tweeters: Infinity Perfect 6.1, Infinity Kappa 693.7i, Infinity Kappa 10.7t

and you already know the subwoofers and the amps. so what do you think? think it might be an ok setup?

the727kid · 03-04-2008, 09:44 PM

Why so many tweeters? I'm not sure how audible that will be over the BTLs.

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 09:49 PM

yeah maybe i shoule cut out the last set of tweeters and just run the 6x9's and the 6.5's. i just want some sq in the car just in case i do show the car i dont lose any points due to poor quality.

the727kid · 03-04-2008, 10:00 PM

Well the BTLs are not SQ subs, while they sound good, they are mainly for getting loud as balls lol. If you worry about SQ, I would ditch the 6x9s, and spend more money on the front stage.

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 10:08 PM

well im not to worried about it. i mean its not like im going to go out there and jump into a comp..i would really like to have on badass spl car but thats looks just as good as it is loud. and let me ask you somthing does it matter between the spl and the daily choice that you have when you are customizing your sub on the site?

aleister2k · 03-04-2008, 10:10 PM

YES.. get daily.

the727kid · 03-04-2008, 10:16 PM

Like he said, getting the daily is a MUST! The SPL has a much tighter gap and is ONLY for burps.

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 10:27 PM

ok thanks for the info there goes an avoided mistake right there..

aleister2k · 03-04-2008, 10:51 PM

If you do care about SQ, step down to the BL or even the Q.. BL is a good mid line between the two. If you actually want to hear your music, the BTL might be a bit too much.. You can probably save a pretty penny on amps going with teh Q's and put that money towards your sound stage. Would still get all the options though.

brownguy06 · 03-04-2008, 11:17 PM

thanks for the advice man i will deff look into it.

In the FWIW section, Lucio Proni (L in JL audio) chose dual 1.5ohm coils for the W7 because that gave the best results for SQ. yep, the W7 is an SQ woofer.

Don't know what one has to give for fully loaded BTL's, but I have a pair of critical mass UL12's. These subs were given the highest score ever by car audio magazine. They are 2500 RMS, 5000 max. I had one in my escalade on 3000 watts (real watts...sundown 3000D) and it did over 145 on music. Some guys are putting 10kw plus to these, and getting mid 150's.

They retail for $2000 each. I have one new, and one slightly used...I'd sell the pair for $1100.

^^Bout the same price of 2 15" Fully-Loaded BTLs.

O/T how does dual 1.5s make a sub sound better? Until there is some pretty solid evidence to that, my opinion stands that it is just a marketing gimmick.
