HotCarl, is that just a single sub? What size box is that? How much power? How do you like it? Worth the money? Any problems with ordering from them? etc etc.

well i know for a fact that mike(i believe its mike but i am wrong sometimes) at SS is one of the best cs guys ever. so no problems ordering them.

also the re 8's. i believe a guy hit in the 130s-140s with a single re 8 in a ported box in his van..

i had my re 8 metered in my friends car and hit 133 db

id suggest two of these tuned to 33-35 Hz.

from the vid...

1 8" SoundSplinter Rl-i

1.363 cubes @ 35 Hz

Orion 2500D @ 8 ohms.

JL 8W7, SS Rl-i8 (performance very comparable to an 8w7 at a fraction of the price), Image Dynamics ID8v3 and Crystal CMP8.

Those would be my top 4 choices.

I can vouch for the RL-i8. Get pretty dang loud for 8's and don't break the bank.

And Mike is a stand up guy:thumbsup:

Yes, his name is Mike.

And he is quite simply one of the best people in the business to deal with.

So do you think I should do a single RL-i8 ported with 600W to it with gains set correctly or a pair of them sealed with 300W to each?

 

[HotCarl 10+ year member]

HotCarl, is that just a single sub? What size box is that? How much power? How do you like it? Worth the money? Any problems with ordering from them? etc etc.

i love it.

yup, just a single sub.

its a 2500d @ 8 ohms...so like 300-400 watts?

def worth the money

customer service is absolutely wonderful, mike as an absolute pleasure to deal with.

anymore Q's, PM me or AIM me @ huebs05

Digital Designs DD1008 ftw:

Moe Lester built enclosure: 0.75ft³ tuned to 38hz. This thing sounded soooooo good. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
