Do they make an RL-i 12?

Thats a great looking sub... Is that 1.3 cubes the recommended box from Soundsplinter?

What amp are you gonna use? I was thinking about an RLi-8 in a .5 sealed box, with about 500watts, now I might take aported box better...

mine does have a custom cone....something about being the first rl-i NOT a prototype....

wow... im building a single-sub setup and i was lookin to get away with as small a setup as possible being that its goin in a hatchack nissan 240sx. Would you recommend this sub for that purpose? or will it not get low enough?

mine is from the first run of rl-i8's and is actually rl-i8 number 1 sold to the public. so there are a few differences.

the rl-i8 loves 1.25ft^3 tuned to 36hz with about 500wrms. loud and low, i really enjoyed playing it in that box. but in reality, somewhere in the 1ft^3 range tuned about the same would be plenty big.

for a small single sub setup in a hatch, the rl-i8 would be a great choice. probably won't set any db records, but would indeed add a great deal of good clean bass to a system.

oooh, like when they first came out a couple years ago or whatever

i just got mine from teh first re-vamped batch that just released a month or 2 ago.

im gonna cut all the wood for the box today...all i gotta do is wait for the aeroport to arrive.

 

[phantom240 5,000+ posts]

sexy sub nonetheless. im really considering it now for my nissan. Would ou suggest ported or sealed? im an sq guy hardcore.

 

[Starky 10+ year member]

is this the new improved Rl-I 8? or the older version?

 

[theelfkeeper 10+ year member]

i've been thinking about putting in a couple 8's. was going to go with 3 8W7's, but they are just expencive as hell. then noticed Ascendant Audio has an 8 inch Assassin at a killer price, $45 right now. but that 8 looks like a beast.

i was wondering how the SQ is?? i have no experience with SountSplinter. i was going to go sealed with 3-4 8's, going for SQ, SPL isn't important.

 

[phantom240 5,000+ posts]

8's are suprisingly loud if you get good ones.
