Just wanted to say that I bought some new Phoenix RSD12D subs. I have heard good things about them and I got them for $79 each brand new. Anyway I can't wait to get them going. I am going to give them 450W RMS and build a 1 cubic foot sealed box for them. SWEET!!!

Looks nice, post some pics once you get it installed. I think theres a typo in the RMS rating, lol. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
Nice! i got 2 12's myself just finished the box last night so today when i get off work i get to hook them up. I'm stoked, i went with .8 sealed per. Will eventually be doing a fiberglass ported enlosure but thats not on the budget yet lol. Let me know what you thought and maybe we can put together are own review or atleast we can back them up.

Let me know how they sound with .8. I like a tighter bass so I think smaller is better right? I am not as knowledgable as alot of you guys but I know my basic stuff. I ran Bostons in 1.5 and loved them. I was thinking of doing these in 1.

 
From what I have read 1.8cu ft per sub with 600wrms will get you 135db that sounds real good. I keep thinking of getting a pair my self. I am having a hard time figuring it out. 2 RSds or a RL-p 15 or a 12BM, or save up some more money and get a Mag not sure if I want to spend that much. If I can sell my other RL-i8 I could get the Mag.

Just make sure you let us know how you like them.

Well god willing MJ me and my friends where going to try to build a 4 cube box and port it to 30hz. Just not sure if it will happen anytime soon im really broke so stuff is hard. Hopeing it will happen so i can hear these things unleashed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

 
Hey when I said 1.8cu feet it is a sealed 1.8 so you know. If I go with them I will go 1.5cu do to space for each and send the 400 wrms each.
