avalanche or rl-p or se

[swc204 10+ year member]

i cant decide between 2 15'' avalanche, 2 15'' rl-p, or 2 15'' re-se. i am looking for the best sql. i would probally give each sub around 700 watts or so. i would probally put in a sealed enclosure.please help.

Avalanches or the RL-p's...

x2 on the RL-p's

i got to 15's

avalanches or rl-p's. Tough decision. I went with an rl-p over an avalanche because of box size and looks and I have not been disappointed. It POUNDS and sounds awesome doing it.

I went the avalanche route and it sounds amazing...I don't think you'll be upset either way.

Haha, I think it's funny how you put the SE in with those two subs... better yet, debate between the 2 15" Avalanches, 2 15" RL-P, or 2 15" SX/XXX... I'm having that same comparison debate... I don't know, I don't know... the low fs of the avalanche kind of turns me on... How easy would the difference to pick up low notes be between the subs, with the Avalanche going down to 15.7 hz???

wait are u comparing the avalanche and RLP to the Superwoofer (XXX)??

 

[iamamp3pimp 5,000+ posts]

no, the regular XXX

 

[swimfreak26 10+ year member]

Yes, he is comparing them...and with low power levels both subs will beat out an XXX in most situations...

I don't think I quite understand the question. But, in the proper sealed box, either one should be able to play down to around 10hz in car.

I think some of you guys put way too much emphasis on Fs.

Well does the FS not determine how low it will get? Another thing, if the rl-p and avalanche's are actually comparable, why would you even consider the avalanche? it's noticeably more expensive, so would it not be worth it to just get the rl-p...? I would like to hear them and determine which is better myself... With more power, which would win, XXX rl-p or avalanche? Would they be at all comparable?

so how big of a box are we talkin for 2 RL-p 15's off about 7-800w a piece

i was thinking about going sealed cause tuned @ 36 i kinda miss my LOW bass

http://forum.elitecaraudio.com/showthread.php?threadid=87543&pagenumber=2 - Read the last post by "supergrass"......who, if you don't know, is Steven Ponte, formerly a speaker designer for TC Sounds (the company that builds Soundsplinters). This is in reference to a question of how to tell which sub will play lower by looking at it's specs. If you are too lazy to click the link, here is the important part:

"Driver: Fs is NOT a huge determiner of LFE. Qt is. The higher the Q, the lower the woofer will play - always. The more moving mass, the lower the driver will play (relative to Q). Less BL product (relative to Q). Etc etc etc."

Another thing, if the rl-p and avalanche's are actually comparable, why would you even consider the avalanche? it's noticeably more expensive, so would it not be worth it to just get the rl-p...? I would like to hear them and determine which is better myself...

Everyone has their own personal preference. While performance may be similar, everyone will always have their reasons to pick one subwoofer/speaker/etc over another. Kind of like a Chevy vs. Ford vs. Daimler-Chrysler. Everyone has their favorite. Why? Who knows...personal preference of some sort.

With more power, which would win, XXX rl-p or avalanche? Would they be at all comparable?

Buy them all, run your own test, let us know how it turns out //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

^^^ yeah well in that case my tweeters will get louder on less power than ANY of these subs, lol.
