Right now I'm running a soundsplinter RL-S 12 on a sundown 3kd... I'm thinking about doubling up and getting another RL-s and 3kd... I want really really loud... but I want it to sound really really good. ARE THESE THE RIGHT SUB FOR THE JOB? Is there a better set of 12's that would be louder and sound better? I know the RL-S is SQ based but it gets pretty loud as well... and my box will be built to my liking obviously... Please feel free to speak your mind all suggestions are welcome Thanks

what are you metering now? how is your electrical? What box do you have it in? How is it taking the 3000d?

Alot of other subs that will get much louder than those but sound better, tough call.

And powering 2 3k's takes some nice Elec Backbone upgrading.

Doesn't the RL-S have a single 3 ohm voice coil?
