Effects of 18" BTL on gas stations

[FLAMINGESKIM0]

[funkystudioslive]

If I were a clerk at that station, I'd be scared shitless...

[amithinda]

[TehOneX]

I just went from a Kicker fan to a FI Fan.

[shigshwa]

God damn! Just one???

[thedickbutt101]

one btl 18 or 2 kicker l7 15's what do i get?

[18Fibtl]

@thedickbutt101 well 1 fi btl 18 is louder then 2 12s it depends on the amp i guess and the box you put it in

[jessebassmaster]

Lol the guy working at the gas station must be like WTF!!??? is going on Fuking EarthQuake lol

[pimpn4u]

thats wassup one sub is all anyone needs.. ive seen that sub make windows n cars look like water .. 3k amp 1 battery 1 h.o. alternator it push the rear window out of a car .. keep it up pimpn

[bryanshurtleff15]

ahh i know this video made me want to go 18s in my blazer!!

[zummrox]

the guy working at the gas station must have been like "wtf is happening!!"

[bossscrillaguy]

LMAOO, this fool is at the gas station slappin'!

[yfz450lover]

the worlds comin to an end

[frogeater9]

That gas station needs some Dynamat!

[ExpertOfSound]

@frogeater9

ROFL!!

[Link22551]

@frogeater9 audio technix, fuck dynamat tht shits over rated n expensive

[impalartdave]

yea, the roof is gonna fall. BTL!

[NewProductions]

What are all your specs on the box and amp.

[bostonguy01]

i want one but too expensive lol imma go with 2 12's and thats fine for me lol

[tacoboy262]

dam i really want that

[jak5edmond]

pure mad mental man :D sweeeeeeeeeeeeet !!

[greeleykid]

don't wanna start an argument about how much space the subs needs to breath correctly..but the box looks WAAAAY too small..i have i bigger box for two 12" type e's

[wwill93]

beautifull

[DEVISVERIS1]

there are many songs louder then thug and the song is called thug motivation 101 did u not read the cd player ? FAIL nice system tho keep wangin

[DJ6ac]

whats the song called?

[wfw5607]

thats sick what kinda amps u got on that ?and i like how most people who turn stereos up almost always seem to put it on 40 with higher quality head units and subs

[Ravagar]

That shit is rattling like crazy, ive seen loud cars pass by my house where i live and dont sound or do stuff like this

[lilboay]

nice subs mann,

can you play Thug by slim thug

song his crazy hard on BTLS

[SURVIEW1]

Your totally right!

[ga440deep]

preciate it man I just can't wait to ge them! Seems like everybody on youtube that has them love them and they video show they hittn hard as hell! Ready to make my glass and windows shake and knock a few pics off people walls

[ga440deep]

Whats up man love it beating hella hard! Got a question I ordered 2 btl 15's fully loaded- heat ring, cooilng,universal, dual 1ohm, daily ice blue dust caps. The custom shop thats building my box says they aren't going to do nothing thinks I wasted my money and thinks cause you only can get them on the net, and the have no sealed box specs that they aren't going to do nothing! What do you think? I'm going to be pushing mine with the lanzar 2000d Opti-Drive amp! capable of 4k rms@1/2 ohm

[hellomoto450]

bro most shops dont know half of what u know then bro most of da time their tryin to sell their shit to u say they said it aint gonna do shit , but wait till u install it in ur ride their ears are gonna get fucked ,

[Xertalista]

wtf, point that shit up at the roof.

[MxD0Productions]

What kind of amp is that/???

[RosenG1982]

probably a rockford T3000.1bd

[jake2886]

What would be funny is.. .Bump bump bump bump BOOM as the punp suddenly explodes from the bass... Lol. I understand it could not happen, Just would be funny shit. Saying noone got hurt.

[aremixx06]

thanks dick head now i'm def lol

[kylehobbs93]

damn thats a nice ass blazzer

[jav9013]

Fi BTL can take up to 2500 rms and these things are fucken sick! one of the hardest pounding subs you'll get just take a look at steve meade :)! and yea you can put 3k rms but it will stress the subs and they will end up blowing in like 6 months

[18Fibtl]

@jav9013 there peak is 5000watts not 3000 its 2000 to get them going

[donz899]

rms is 5000.

[bigdczeke]

another thing you would want to consider IF you are in the market to purchase one of these is. It does not come with a warranty, only covers if the sub is operating at the time of arrival..

[greeleykid]

i wouldn't want to peak any sub to be honest..it's just not safe, BUT i really don't care about walmart subs, that's really the only point i was trying to make there, and with heating issue..i know btl's can handle a LOT more than 2000 rms without any issues..i was just saying to someone that asked about heating issues that if you run an spl btl as a daily sub you might run in to some heating issues

[mouseakaolivia]

when you purchase the sub off the site you can set it so they give you a daily driver sub so it wont overheat or an SPL (sound pressure level) sub so that when you need to showoff, you got back up. then there is some cooling shit you can get too. idk

[bigdczeke]

any problems with overheating? I hear this sub is not for a daily driver...due to excessive heat

[greeleykid]

well you can get two different kinds of Fi BTLS, one for daily use and one for SPL..i'd imagine if you were trying to use a SPL sub on a daily basis that you might run in to some heating issues

[dustinallen1982]

lmao

[sabbathThebat]

how many watts for one subwoofer ?

[greeleykid]

2000 rms

[camfitz007]

5000 peak tho. 2k rms is right

[greeleykid]

why would you wanna peak a 500 dollar sub? lol these aren't walmart brand subs, i know this sub can take more than 2000 rms but i wouldn't give it much more than that just to be safe

[MrLj410]

because they can take it and the btl is only 400

[greeleykid]

maybe in the states, in canada with tax and the exchange rate you're looking at about $481.76 without shipping, and shipping is around 50 bucks for that sub so you're looking at about $531.76..and no sub can safely handle it's peak rating, the sony explodez are rated to 1500 watt peak..but it wouldn't take any more than 500 rms before it blew, if that..i know btl's can safely run around 3000-3500 rms but i wouldn't feed it any more then 3000 rms personally..i like to play things safe lol :P

[cocothunda3]

@greeleykid cant compare the two brands for car audio subs. not saying sony is shit..but there are plenty of brands out there that are rated lower than what they can truly handle. fi 18" subs in the right box with a nice electrical can cleanly handle 5000 rms all day everyday any frequency any volume. promise

[sk8erearl22]

yo ride is kickin dawg

[ShEaHoE4mE]

thas wussup

[superchupis72]

damn!!!!!!!!!! i need to get one of these

[thelordmasterraven]

im getting ready to buy a 18 from fi do you no how much shipping is from them

[jonmanch3st3r]

shipping is like 50 bucks....i paid 508 bucks for my fully loaded fi btl 18

[MrLIFEISTOOSHORT]

@jonmanch3st3r fuck i shouldve gotten these fuckin subs! i paid 550 for each of my 15 inch memphis mojo subs and they dont hit anywhere near this much!

what amps are u running to them???

at the time i didnt know bout this brand or else i wouldve gotten them in a heart beat!

[burner907]

@jonmanch3st3r ya its gone cost 256 bucks for me to ship 2 of these babies up here to alaska FUCK

[RustyNailMediaInc]

@jonmanch3st3r Where did you buy it from?

[jonmanch3st3r]

@RustyNailMediaInc go to the site ficaraudio

[countrysk8er14]

@jonmanch3st3r thats it? why are Fi subs so cheap? how can they afford to sell a 2000 watt RMS 18" sub for $500?

[baby2kent]

@countrysk8er14

I bought two Cascade designs omega's for 460 shipped used(for both) but very little use(18's) they take 3kw each daily without problems. At any hertz I throw at them, from subsonic to where my mids take over. I have been told they will take 5kw each for a short amount of time but don't have the balls or the ears to want to try it, haha.

[TheConfusedChicken]

@countrysk8er14 if your smart enough, you can give them 5000 rms.

[afr126]

@jonmanch3st3r how much for the box and amp?

[pearldrummer20]

why dont ya face that sub backwards? all the air reverbs off the back and up over.

[jtool4]

@pearldrummer20

Technically it hits harder firing forward and makes it sound less "muddy". Somewhat more of a "sealed" enclosure sound than a ported one when its facing forward.. I would assume he is going to eventually seal off the trunk.

[pearldrummer20]

okay, when its a wall, it would sound better, like you said "sealed off".

he has it in a box... in a box...when a sub faces toward you..it doesnt sound as good as when it faces the trunk..which is why i said turn it around..so technically, your wrong.

[jtool4]

@pearldrummer20

[jtool4]

@pearldrummer20 Actually no I am not wrong. As the air reverberates around the top of the box (it looks like it takes up the entire width of the trunk)its going to be moving slower than when the sub moves sound waves back at the driver giving it a slight muddy sound to it making it sound not as sharp. If you face it forward you get the air movement right away and as the sub moves backwards producing more sound waves sending it to the trunk, it will be dampened by trunk / box = no muddy sound

[pearldrummer20]

@jtool4 okay, man im sorry but it doesnt sound better unless its on a wall! ive been around car audio for years now, ive built walls, ive placed subs facing forward, backward, sideways, everyway!

if a sub is facing you on a WALL(a board placed in a car that is air tight) it sounds better. if its in a box (like this guys) it doesnt sound better at all. stick your head behind subs that face a trunk and see how it sounds..then go sit shotgun and notice how much louder it is.

[mikesirocz355]

hell yea bro thats bad ass... i have 02 extreme that looks like ur blazer from the front with some hard ass beats in it to.....u will have to check out my videos.. i have some of the system commin soon

[cerwinvega215]

nice one man :D

[sl0wm03]

You know it's loud when your outside of the door an it sounds exactly the same on the inside

[BlackHondaCivicHatch]

And yes, There was a slight increase in rattle in the Caprice and the Jimmy.

[mrmeredithiii]

can some1 pleeze tell me hw 2 purchase these fuckin subs

[BallaSingh1]

ebay or fi car audio's website. it will be cheaper there for new ones than a local retailer

[playap3211991]

the only place to get them is fi's site

[seanturpin01]

my 2 m3 memphis 12s do the same shit

[AfganKush420]

a smaller box would make it quieter you dumb fuck. but yes turn them around they are louder maybe like a db or 2 but more rattle

[eltigrillotre11]

try to face them to the bak...and get a smaller box dude..and this is wat happens when they r bridged..u cnt really hear it good from far away..jus let the volume travel and it will be so much better

[BlackHondaCivicHatch]

Your Blazer is so Damn Pretty! I miss mine hella bad.

I Also Strongly suggest aiming the woofer to the back or up

[playap3211991]

that would just make everythinng rattle and it wouldnt make a difference in spl

[BlackHondaCivicHatch]

No.There Would be an increase in SPL. A speaker emits sound waves in all directions. You have waves coming from the woofer directly to your ear, and waves from the woofer to the back of the vehicle that are then reflected back to your ear. The longer it takes for the second set of waves to reach your ear, the more cancellation theres going to be. Since bass waves are long (much longer than the cabin of the car) The slight distance wouldnt be extremely noticeable but you Would gain a couple dBs

[BlackHondaCivicHatch]

We've prove all this using a Term Lab meter. Test vehicles were a 96 Honda Civic hatchback, 94 Acura Integra, 98 GMC Jimmy (exact same truck as this blazer), a 95 Silverado extended cab, And a 96 Caprice. The Jimmy had the most noticeable gain with a 2.7dB increase. The Silverado had the least with a 0.7 dB increase.

[playap3211991]

yea for sure brother but i talked to this guy awhile back i told him at least to point it up it would increase spl but he said it didnt make a difference for some reason i dont know why. in most cases it increases it but i dont think its by much.

[BlackHondaCivicHatch]

Yea, It depends quite a bit on the car and how far away from the back of the car the subs are. next time we get some time, we're gonna do some more tests. try it on some bigger cars. like a Subruban or an Escalade if we can find some to use. lol

[playap3211991]

stick with the suburban dont be tearing up any pretty escalade lol

[CREAMFILLEDANISH85]

TRY TURNING IT AROUND TO THE BACK..

[pdgeman]

you should have the speaker facing the back..

but nice sub..

[RedandWhite84]

whts the peak wattage on one of these??

[stage1spl]

this is awsome..i fucked the gas stations roof up a couple months back...haha with 12's..

[HazakyProductions]

Awesome vibrations! Damn! :)

[northsiderollers]

i was kinda thinkin that. thanks.

[sion1rawks]

in a lincoln navigator..im thinkin of taking up my whole trunk space on this box im gonna have made...40"L x 30"W x 18"H ....and a 10"x18" port...thats tuned to 35hz...

[sion1rawks]

ok thanks..where should i place the sub and port? should i place the sub on top and port facing the back? or both facing up? is there even a difference which way the sub faces?

[sion1rawks]

how big is that box??? im gonna make one for my 18" fi btl but i cant decide what Hz to tune in to...whut u got it tuned to?

[northsiderollers]

how many batteries? wat kind of alternator amps? and wat kind of wiring?

[coltonrc2193]

man thats a bad ass blazer what all did you do to the body?

[SykoDj]

its a blazer extreme they come stock like that

[1337charlie]

how many watts does the amp have? more than one amp? what kind

[riskyowns11]

why ppl keep putting young jeezy in fi btls?

[maxpower700]

@riskyowns11

it sounds gooood man ;)

[peterbloss]

wow good setup man but my wmd2 15'' subwoofer can do all of that too

[dxmollo]

first off what amp are you using to power that? shit is bangin and your vocals sound clean!

i got that same cd too haha akon konvicted and jeezy's first album

[tatsumaru12345]

It might make your alternator show its limits, but a sub won't hurt your engine. Unless of course its about to fall apart already hahaha

[Bmurls]

What year is that?

[nessa6565]

could not have picked a better song.

[lululombard]

WOW ! What's our amplifier ?

[djhlsmusic]

i cant believe bass like this does absolutely nothing to your engine! i mean when you think about it, it's gotta do some sort of internal damage.

[dougie730]

the engine rattles prolly a thousand times more then what that 18 will do.. wtf are u talking about?

[djhlsmusic]

wtf i was talking about was eventually its gotta conflict with the engine's movements, and somehow hurting it. just because the engine moves more than the 18", doesnt mean that theyre moving at the same time, and that is what i meant, you insignificant dumbass.

[dougie730]

well i have to disagree with the insignificant dumbass, and engine is made to take tons of stress, a fi btl 18 is gonna cause close to no efffect/conflit on and engine besides the possible rattle loose of some of the plastic parts on an engine and shake the body apart..

[djhlsmusic]

if youre going to try to "school" me, then at least talk in complete sentences that people can understand, cause i have no idea what you meant by "besides the possible rattle loose of some of the plastic parts on an engine and shake the body apart.." maybe you need some english classes, or you failed them, but if you cant say anything so that i can understand it than im not going to take you seriously.

[geterdun351]

You dont need a PHD in english to undertand what hes saying. And Iv been around cars and subs all my life and never had any problem with stress on the engine. So stop talkin out ur ass.

[djhlsmusic]

How am I talkin out my ass? If you want me to be all sophisticated and capitalize all my words just so you think I'm not talkin out my ass, then you must be such a stuck up ass hole that i would never want to talk to you anyways. And it's good that you have the experience, because in the very beginning I was only making a statement that in my opinion a big subwoofer that produces a lot of SPL and vibration must do some bad to the engine, no matter how small.

[youcrazy91]

usually when an engine is running and going of bumps it gets the same type of vibration but any vibration can inherently ruin the seals in the cylinders

[djhlsmusic]

that's exactly what i meant, but that guy down there is so stupid that he can't even speak in full sentences, so no wonder he didn't understand that.

[imupabove]

what deck u got?

[mycrucifixtion]

nice system man! im planning on getting an 18" btl soon and one question.. whats the name of the song?

[WIKTOR75]

haha if you watched the video properly you wouldnt have to ask at 7 seconds it clearly shows the artist and track

[eltiger21]

thug motivation - young jeezy

[jewy113092]

young jeezy - thug motivation 101

[fernan0808]

last time i did something like this, in a gas station, i had a gun pointed at me and my car taken away

[fortclarke1]

really?

[fernan0808]

yes

[northsiderollers]

dude that sucks :( what happened after that? u get it back?

[Younggunna00069]

lol?

[bjizl]

what's the specs on the enclosure?

[northsiderollers]

how much does that sub cost?

[leonard109]

to be honest im not sure where the subs came from they was just sitting in the car

[DCP14TNUM]

man you dont know shit those are some high quality subs

[countrysk8er14]

r u 4real? haha tell me when u find these subs at wal-mart u retard. u have to special order them. they are really good subs.

[calvinblinkee]

I said 10's not an 18" lol. I was replying to leonard109 cuz he said these were shit but his speakers weren't even good. Anyways, Fi is a sick brand. You can just order from their site.

[playap3211991]

glad to know you have 20 grand just laying around. and plus you prob dont know what your talking about because your talking about mixing subs go home fag

[leonard109]

i surely do have 20 grand laying around since i can get 4 18 fi btl for 1700 plus shipping and 2 15 for 200 a piece but then again when steve meade uses fi btl and punches nobody complains about mixing subs

[playap3211991]

plus batteries alts amps wiring. and steve meade uses punches with his 4 18's? on his caddy those are free air subs more like loudspeakers.

[Krannyman92]

he uses the punch subwoofers to fill in the lower midrange section/higher lowend. completely different than mixing subwoofers

[Bamchucknorris]

put the sub facing backwards or up or up and it will smash way harder then it does now. i promise.

[chevyman217]

He probably has it like that so his back door won't fall off !!

lol

[miasman077]

agreed that would blow the door out unless u back it up to behind his seat those r sooo fucking hardcore.... i want 1 for my saturn lmao... i like me 2 reSE 12" enough though

[chevyman217]

I know right, those subs are so hard core!

I'm thinking of getting a 18 inch Fi BTL for my Chevy Tahoe and a 7+ cubic ft. ported box probably with a t4000.1bd.

Right now i have a 15 inch kicker cvr and that's pretty loud.

Do you have a system??

[miasman077]

2 RE SE 12 inch in a prefab box dual vented 150$ ish for it... 4 memphis PR 6.5" components and 2 crunch 1100.2 amps running the RE's.... all running off of the stock battery... no capacitor and a sony xplod headunit..... nothing unreal but its the loudest ive ever heard around my area upstate newyork..

[Sammysbros]

it's Thug Motivation 101 - Young Jeezy says right on his deck.

[jays4m3]

what song is this?

[jays4m3]

what are the specs on your box?

[larrythestoner415]

flip that box around so that its facing the rear then ull be suprised trust me

[seanturpin01]

what does that do for it? I have 2 memphis m3 12s and memphis pr1000.1d at 1 ohm in a 2000 altima and I have the box facing the front of the car. Will it make a difference if I turn my box in my car around? Ive thought about it but id have to do some adjusting so my subs wont hit my trunk but if it makes a big difference let me know. Thanks homie

[larrythestoner415]

oh hell yah it does. if u face the port to the rear of ur car u got sound bouncing from the rear of the car to the front of the car so its basically forcing the sound out even harder than it is wen its facing foward. if u try it ull see a big difference in sound

[NH4NO3CH3NO2]

ya i did that with my 3 12's sealed, i took a guys advice from Michigan and it pounds alot harder

[leonard109]

If you want to really bump only use Fi BTL and Mojos i have 6 mojos in my car and that thing literally hops of the ground

[JayyEZ]

hell yeah this song rattles eye balls

[BAouttaVA]

well im not much of a gm fan but thats a pretty fresh lookin blazer. i wish i could get an 18 inch fi btl, but my trucks a regular cab :[

[Lorenzo502]

nice setup. come check my 15" orion hcca out.

[MDizzel16]

haha looks like ralphy didnt do his homework......to many people are like omg kickers their so awesome....but.....if you get more into it you relize their are ALOT better stuff out there..kickers are starter systems

[JayyEZ]

seriously, forget all those diehard kicker fans talkin shit on youtube

[MDizzel16]

Yea they are pretty much either a. doing it cuz its a pretty good starter system or b. they just wanna be like yeah i got some kick L7s in the back and people go woooooa kicker? aka buying for the brand name

i was ther thinking kicker was the shit my first setup then i got the w7 not loud enugh so i go with 12" mmats dread 1600wrms fckn nut's but now im ordering an 18btl look at my vid in bout a month n half to c the btl
