how does a RLP compare to OZ Matrix Elites

[thadman 10+ year member]

I am getting a system for my 2001 Jetta GlS and have yet to fully decide on a subwoofer. I have a budget of around $1000 and would like to stay in that rhealm. This will be a daily driver, so no SPL competitions goin on but I would like to be able to impress my friends, although 90% of the time it will not be near that loud so im sort of steering towards SQ.

How do the OZ Matrix Elites compare to the Soundsplinter RLP and IDQ12?

Also would kick panels make much of a difference in sound quality?

I have decided on Ologys and a DA 5600.2 amp for those components

The $1000 is referring to the whole system, not just the subwoofer.

dont know, never heard the oz's, but my rl-p's are fully capable of impressing people, and if you know what they are, you know the sound quality is amazing.

is the 15" RL-P THAT much louder than the 12 or does it really matter? Should I go sealed or ported? If these are ungodly loud...I might as well go sealed since I wouldnt be listening to them full blast or would porting them add a lot?

a sealed 15 RL-p will get decently loud with good power pushing it.

I've never heard an RL-P so I can't comment. But if you've ever heard an IDMax, they have a very similar sound except the Oz gets even lower IMO. Very capable sub.

They do have the same amount of linear excursion, so they should be capable of around the same amount of output sealed.

in the same situation you are in... either 1 12" rlp or 3 10" me's //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

My 15 inch RLp in 2.75 ported tuned to 34HZ was really loud in my Grand prix. Not sure DB, but about to put it in my girls explorer sealed and cant complain bout that either. I listen to a little techno and rap as well as reggae. Cant go wrong with RLP. I would do a sealed 15 or a ported 12.

the RL-p is going to have the same level of SQ as the IDQ but capable of more output,

 

 

flakko I would keep the RL-p
