2 12" RLPs or 1 18" MT

Either/ or would be ported in a Bravada.

The RL-Ps would be powered with an Orion 2500 at 4 ohms, the MT at 1 ohm.

Which would you go with, and give reasons for your choice.

why would they be powered at only 4ohms instead of 1ohm? i would just keep those RL-p's and run the orion at @1ohm with that badass box from inhumanacaura

Are you looking for SPL or SQ?

The two set ups would yield completely different results. The RL-P's would have a fair amount of output, as well as great SQ.

As for the MT, if you have proper room for an enclosure then should kill the RL-P's in output, however SQ would be worse.

I am a SPL man, so I would choose the MT, with an extra 2500D though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

MT for sure if your looking for output

Got to be careful if hes gonna be running 1300 watts daily.

yeah i kno, i got a re 35.1 on my 12 daily, in a ported box thats bigger than SS recommends, not a small *** sealed box, i had it cranked up HU @ 34/40 sat nite for i think about 5 hours straight, cuz we were outside drinkin and needed some music

I thought about running just one 12 ported, but instead Im going to Run 2 Sealed. with arough 600-700 watts

well i prefer running a single sub in my truck than two, so i can put it between the seats, and its cheaper and and needs 1/2 the power

SPL.

I believe the RL-Ps did a a 149.xx in the box they are in with about 700 each. Not too sure if Id feel confident dropping the Orion to 1 ohm on them.

A second 2500d isnt an option at the moment- not only would I need the second amp, but all of the electrical upgrades that would go with it.

I (briefly) had a 15" XXX, that fvcker was loud.....I talked to UndercoverPunk today, he said the 15" MT he has listening experience with got WAY louder than a 18" XXX.......

Enclosure space isnt really an issue, going in an SUV.

yeah then i would go with the MT that woul be sick

Oh.. So you still have IceTee's old RL-P's and enclosure, eh? Did he ever get his money?

come on ...everyone knows that RE is on top with DD so why go anywhere else ??

Yeah, he did.

Think that might have been asked in a PM?
