why would anyone say a BTL is not a SPL sub? Its a vented MT, which is a SPL sub, so Fi improved on the MT making a better SPL sub.
I would do the XXX though just because i beat a XXX15 with 4000 watts with a little iD MAX 12 and 600 watts, both setups in Chevy Haxors. lol

With a 35hz tuned box I got better lows below 30hz with an APX than an 05 XXX. It doesn't sound as good and it's actually not as loud on 1500W. Very different woofers.

Are you serious? A BTL motor with no pole vent and triple stacked magnets is pretty much a MT motor. There may be gap differences bewteen the two but they are essentially the same.

Just dont buy DC audio from this guy because 6 level 5 12s can't even bassrace 120db. And they never improved the MT motor by venting it, they just gave you the option to make it more daily driving friendly.
