It really seems like everyone's resentful of the 06 XXX because of the way RE turned out... I wanna hear the truth from a non-bias user of the sub, what they thought about it and such.

I liked it before i ever owned it. It gets low as hell, sounds great and takes a beating.

the downside, if your limited on space you cant really run 2 of them effecively, as well as the power issue, running 2 takes alot of power,

if you have those 2 things though they are an awesome sub, i know one buy here bought a XXX and within 2 weeks changed to a BTL, but they arent even in the same class imo, BTL being more SPL oriented then the XXX

noobs....... Bonesnija I think your missing something. Getting low is not about the tuning frequency so much. You need a BIG box. Ex. a normal 15 in 6 cubes to 35hz will kill a normal 15 in 3 cubes to 28 down low. Try 3-3.5 cubes for a 12 5-6 for a 15 or 9-10 for an 18 and tune LOW then you will get what your looking for.

That's correct for Australian/British use //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

English > ca.com

Back to topic, it sounds a lot like this is a matter on inappropriate enclosures for the application. Subbass like Bonesninja is describing just isn't feasable in a ported box tuned above the bandwidth he wants to play.

SS RL-P in a large sealed box would suit the situation nicely IMO. IA LIs, Mag D2s, even my MK4 Shiva hit some nice lows once I got it in a large enough box. Don't even get me started on the unworldly lows my Aura 10s play in the right enclosure.

there is bugger all sub 30Hz in most music anyway...

I had to read that about 30 times before it made any sense.

They made a thread of it.

For those just tuning in, "bugger all" means "nothing at all" or "next to nothing", and "sub" aptly means "below". Hence, "there is [nothing at all] [below] 30Hz in most music anyway..."

I followed his dictionary links to understand it myself.

What confused me is that most of the time I hear bugger it's used as an adverb, which makes that quote just a garble of words.

Instead of just simply saying; "In most music, the frequency generally does not get lower than 30Hz."

But, i think this would have been to easy lol.

The TC3000 is a low-end beast. I've got my 15 in 4.5 tuned to 30 and it's rediculous. Get the 12 and put it in 3 tuned to 28-30 and you'll love it, guaranteed by me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

if you want lows, go with a sealed enclosure.

what?

a ported enclosure can have a much lower f3 than a sealed enclosure with the same volume...

and for the $$$ 12" type-x's can't be beat for the lows

Id have to 2nd the TC 3000, it is a SQL sub...and quite elegant when compaired to other subs mentioned in this thread. For snobbishly low bass, this is my clear suggestion.

I didn't know sound could have a demeanor?
