Another RE audio sub down.. Is it just me?

[jokersace69]

Back in 2013 I bought a re srx12d4, sounded so good and clean that even after a year of one tinsel lead break I decided to replace it with a new one. Considering RE audio charged the same price for a new one to have it reconed. So here we are today.. Yesterday I blew another tinsel lead... Just after another year of having this one. So.. Is it just me or do these just go out yearly? I want to replace it with something of the same. No upgrade, just keep all the specs the same without breaking the bank. I think I payed $150 for each. Help, ideas, thoughts? Thanks dudes!

- Amp: Boston acoustics gt-2125 bridged for 600rms.

- enclosure: Vented 3/4 MDF 36Hz 1.8 cubic ft. 1.3 if you just count internal space.

One - Is it wired in parallel or series? Don't clip it. Make sure it's in the right wiring configuration.

you have a 12 in 1.4 cubes? it should be no less than 2. heres the deal, make a better box and buy a soundqubed hds3 12 and call it a day

I'd say go with HDS 212

you can no blow ecks eff ell.

Just kidding but yeah, get what those guys suggested, never used the sq, but have used some products in the past.

Just an update. I resoldered the tinsel lead and left a good amount of slack. I'm already waiting for it to break. I want to just upgrade to a re sex12d4 or hds212 since they both match the 600rms amp I have. But I need a ported box. Help meeeeee! And thanks for the suggestions fellas!

Edit: I'm sure trunk dimensions would help as well.

The measurements of the opening I got were 34'' wide by 15.5'' deep (pretty tight opening). Close to 57'' diagonal, 54'' at widest point, 47'' wide between the wheel wells.

If you want a new sub cheap, hds212 would be it. At any price point set by sq, no woofer comes even close to their performance.

Box is WAYYYY to small for a soundqubed subwoofer....

He has 600 watts RMS. Don't suggest a 1200rms woofer...

that's why I told him to build a box no less than 2 cubes for a 12. for a SQ sub over 2.5 for the 12 for sure. and he can always upgrade his power, that 600 watt amp can give it a lil bit of action meanwhile he finds a good amp

I didn't. Hds212 is a 600w woofer.

He doesn't want to upgrade.

Lol.. I love the fast responses on this site. Anyways, with my current situation (wife,kid,$) I love this amp too much and the space it leaves for trunk use. I'm really just leaning towards either the hds212 or sex12. If I had it my way the trunk would be all play no storage. But that's life. I will admit the box I'm using is a pre fab from sonic that was matched with it (kit).

Not sure what to help with then, he can get the same sub.
