BTL hands down.

even Fi's website says the btl is the spl woofer, why is the BL on that list?

9500s are known to have issues when driven to hard (cracked cones) while BLs don't...personally I would go with the BL, although I have seen a 150 out of a single 15 in a truck...

i've got the bl...it's a very nice sub. more sound quality than i expected while still giving decent spl...but it is still far from being a true spl sub.

With a relatively low Q that thing needs to be ported ASAP, of course it isn't an SPL sub in a SEALED box

probably starts rolling off around 60hz...

crap...i never editted my sig. yeah...i learned the hard way...this sub seriously needs to be ported. 2.4 cu.ft. @ 32hz. much better...

still can't wait to switch back to my IDMAX though.
