Well, if i get the Dual 2 one, its gonna be getting like 1200 watts.

9.1 benched at @1500 1 ohm 14.0 volts . two twelves would be the sh*t , those boxes for your ride are like 50 bucks .

I doubt the sub is gonna get all of that 1500 though. I have stock electrical, and im alredy running a speaker amp.

Well either one that you get, and the wattage you plan on sending either one will defiantly give you more bass then the perfect.

my friend got a box of ebay , he has the older style t/a . prefab box but he has had no problems with it . there are about 25 on ebay for your year .

and .... I should find you that bench test on the 9.1 , it was on another site . it was doing over 1100 watts at 10volts . its very underrated .

Yeah ive seen it, but if i just keep the gain down low, what bad could happen? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

is a nine.1 with low gain too much for a dual 2 ohm rl-p?

try about 1/2 gain ... mike isnt gonna replace one that you hit with 1200-1500 watts .

yeah like i said , my friend has had good luck with his , its 3/4 mdf , glued , caulked , just like any other . yes in general most prefabs are crap . just not his .

Either sub's low end is going to suffer slightly in that box

What subs were you deciding between before you went with the RL-P? And what made you go with that sub over the IDMax? Sorry for the million quesions, im just a very extensive shopper. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

i was asking myself same quesiton today, 12 XXX (agian) or 15 rlp. which requires teh same size box to port. teh XXX was awesome nice and loud and great sq. but it was time for a change so im gona make this 15 work and it should b a tad bit louder //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif but eitehr way what i was getting at you will b happy with either. and when i talked to mike today he told me it could handle 1300 but there no need and no reason because it will b pushed to its limits with around 600 rms. but either way u will be happy

you can turn the gain down so you get less power, but it should be fine, and if not, then you will be able to tell if the sub is struggling. In that box, you should be ok, but If I were you I would get the d4 so I could get another one down the road... but thats just me...

And dont just crank the gain halfway, you have to match the input voltage from your HU. Set your gains with a DMM, and turn them down if you need to

I disagree with those who said anything above 600 doesnt make a big difference.

From my experience, it does. I ran my 2500d at 4 ohms and it was loud, but then I ran it at 1 ohm and it got a LOT louder... But I have only had them for a week or two, Im gonna wire them back down to 4 ohms and play around with them. And my gain is only 1/4 up, my HU is 4.5v pre-out but my voltage drops bad... 225 amp alt on the way //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You could always throw some polyfill in the box.
