I've only heard the rlp's, they get loud while sounding very good doing it. Guessing the ssd would get you alot louder thought.

I am not sure what their current status is with the tc sounds snafu, but I've ran soundsplinters 8's, 12's, and 18's and I've dug them all. Mike at SS is a great dood to work with as well.

Either one would be a great choice. I had a hard time deciding between my 2 15" SSDs and a 18" RL-P.

Both are great subs that can get loud and sound good.

how do the ssd's sound. i was worried about getting fi;s lowest end instead of saving to get the q. but im trying to stay in budget.

I would have to guess that the RL-p would be louder and have better SQ, just a higher end sub, now the Q would probably beat the RL-p in both areas though.

yeah i hear great thing about the q but i cant find one in my price range

The SSD's sound fine..there's nothing wrong with them. It's just easier on the wallet...

Out of all the subs I could run, i've got a single SSD 12 sealed in the daily driver with the copper coil...

i might just go withthe fi. its sexier

but ht e fi needs a 6-10 cu ft box whereas the rlp only need 3.5
