cool, im doing a very similar setup as you...the Rsd components and 1 12 inch RSD sub...powered by a txa-6004 amp ( 150 x 2 and 600 x 1 at 4 ohms)

I think I'm going to end up getting a pair myself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

nice. it's good to hear the same thoughts that i had on the set. i actually had to EQ out the same points you mentioned, not so much for female vocals but for the higher guitar notes. they sounded just a tad harsh before i EQed a little in that range. i'm not sure what crossover points PG uses in this set but i think it's material that the mid is playing, not so much the tweeter. i love the tweeters a lot as well, and mine are on axis too. i think they sound good and very detailed. they sound really detailed pointing on axis. the whole set sounds killer and keeps sounding good even at high volumes as well.

i have mine crossed at 63hz/12db, i think 63hz is a little to low if you listen to rap or hip hop, but for rock and metal it's sick, and it doesn't put them at their limits at all. but on rap i could see your point. on the rare occasion i briefly play some rap, i bump my crossover up to 80hz/12db instead of the 63hz/12db. but if yours are crossed at 75hz i don't think they should have a problem handling the bass as long as you don't play them at crazy insane levels or have anywhere from 80hz or lower boosted in your EQ.

but overall they are awesome speakers, especially for the low price.

Yeah, I actually turned up the gain on the amp a little today. I think 65-70hz with a 24db rolloff would be perfect for them. And at loud levels you are right, they just keep sounding beautiful. I can't beleive the price on this set, it just blows my mind. I keep liking them more every time i listen to them.

On a side note, i turned on some techno tonight... freakin amazing! Especially at high volumes. The output of these things is downright sickening for 87 dollars. SQL4life, you are going to be getting your SQL for sure. hehe

what size of box are you putting the rsd subs in? I just ordered a 12" today and will be getting another soon with a 1 ohm stable amp. I'm thinking the new audioque amp or maybe a ednine.1 I'll get the rsd components and an amp for them with tax return.

 

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

It will give them 1.4 cu ft per sub and i bought a 5lb box of poly fill, so they will each get half of that. I am working on a design to give them each 1.8 cu ft we'll see how that goes. I have to get some packing peanuts for volume measurment of space i might be fiberglassing.

i keep reading 1.8 per 12" RSD sub for the best sound with low end extension. but with that big of a box why not go ported on a different model?

I'm guessing price is one reason. these things are so **** cheap. I'm going to try and make a 1.8 box over the weekend. I ordered the sub last night. Not sure how long it takes onlinecarstereo to get stuff shipped out.

Thanks for taking the time to write us the review! Glad you like them.

Planning a review on the RSd12?

 

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

oh yeah, it will get a review, but i am still working on the final box design and then i actually have to build it once i figure out how I want it. And then i have to buy an amp. I need 1200wrms at 1 ohm on the cheap. I will probably have to get it after christmas.

Nice review. Have you redone the finish on the amp yet?

 

[skydeaner 10+ year member]

Not yet because it is still under my front seat until I build the false floor in the back, and I cant start working on that until i figure out how i'm going to do the sub box and which sub amp i'm going to use.

I sell a ton of rsd products out of my shop, and the kids love them for the price! Has any of use played with the rsd1200.1 yet. It's got mad power.
