How can I determine what model RE sub I have.

[cjj2d 10+ year member]

I know this is probably a crazy question.

I have a pair of RE subs I acquired that were my brothers quite a few years ago. They have been sitting in a crappy ported box for years and my mom brought them to me. I finally decided to take one out and check the condition they are in. Both are in great shape appearance wise. one apparently had a small gash or cut to part of the surface and there is a piece of black tape over it.

anyways.... they look to be tripple stacked magnets with a large whole in center/pole vent. they are the classic 12 spoke basket and have smooth cones with just the RE emblem.

I looked on the site but couldnt find any info on past sub specs/pics.... these have to be a good 8+ years old atleast.

thanks. any info would be great.

this is the one that has the tape on it obviously.

they are a little dusty,but other than that in great shape. going to try and get them hooked up and tested out. when I took this one out of the box the ****** prefab box was all kinds of falling apart around the screw holes and chunks of mdf falling off.

gotta love prefab boxes.

probly re sx

I have a 18" sx older style - not same logo on the cone - but still not sewn in tinsel leads like yours ....

mine runs good - but makes some mechanical noise so dont plan on mounting them inverted...

anything above 1400w got my coils to smell a little - but then again it was a hifonics amp so it was probly square waves lol at clipping

id try your pair out on 800w each sub as a start - see how they go

I am going to hook them up just to see if they are still in great playing shape. when pushing slightly on the cone there is no friction or noise.

I am not going to use them in my setup. I am putting together a sq setup for my TL and will only run one or two SI BM MKIII's.

that my friend is an SE... not an SX.. the motor is not identical.. SX motor has larger diam. slugs...

Re Se.

smaller diameter motor than the SX and larger pole vent than the SX.

 

[SPLaudio 5,000+ posts]

take a 2nd look the 06 and up se and sx have the same motor. back in the day the pole venting was different.

i have reconed a few se's and sx's that had the same motor. look on there website they even say the same diameter.

i dont know the full history of re and all of there changes over the yrs, so i could be wrong.

I am 99.99% sure that this sub is well before 06.

can anyone add some feedback on RE SE's??? I have not had any experience with them.

also, what they may be worth?
