    im thinking of a new setup.. I want to do 4 subs in a wall in my truck.. I was thinking 4 kicker 15's or 4 btl fi audio 18s..I will be giving them around 5000watts to all 4 Im thinking of using 2 kicker 2500.1 im thinking of 22cb to work with and tuning to around 35hz.this will be a daily drive/show off setup..I have kicker so I know they are good and I like the sound but I read that fi audio is hands down better then anything more less

    Fi BTL's are really sweet subs. if you can afford it then I'd get those.

    i know a guy that used to have 4 FI 18's in his expedition. holly crap it was loud. he had 2 sundown 1500 to each sub @ 1 ohm each or less.

    on average i think he said around 4k each sub. + a whole bunch of batts.

    in a prporly built box even a cheap sub can pound. sooo those FI's in the right box will surly pound.

    yea but i want them to sound good when the beat i know kicker is loud and sounds good I dont like rock gaygate subs they can get loud but sound like ass I have a feeling fi audio is the same they look to be made cheap and marked up with a name

    http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=8251&st=0 FI audio subs are loud. This guy hits mid 150's. I have only seen kickers do low 150's. Honestly Im not a fan of kicker because everyone and their brother has kickers. If you want spl I would go with something other than kicker. Look into Incriminator Audio. Their DP21's are amazing.
