Oldie but goodie!! Original RE SX 15"

[Mitchc1113]

Was looking thru my gallery and found this old pic from 2004. It's an RE SX 15", ported tuned to 33hz w/ a slot port I could put it to change the tuning to 43hz for dBdrag. Was running of a Lanzar D3000m. Awesome budget amplifier back in the day.

The xxx was one of the subs that I was considering prior to getting the SI hst12mkll, but the seller never responded, and Nick answered my email after midnight.

The xxx was the reason I joined this forum. Made an account just to buy two '05 18's. Wish I still had them.

It has been on there for several years, used to run an mb quart pwe 354 at two ohm as well it vibrated the dishes in the kitchen 4 rooms away dude. It has a built in fan that runs most of the time, but it hasn't blown up yet.

i have a couple Denon receivers. One is a daily driver for my AV setup and the other is just there to power a some 3 way yamaha speakers for when i really want to get the walls breathing. All my mains are 8 ohm, but my center is 6 (Its a Jamo. weird Europeans and their desired impedance's LoL) But both pair of my mains are B&W and theyre 8 ohm. Id like more power to my Def Tech sub and have been considering using the older (and much heavier) Denon for that purpose. Might blow the driver doing that LOL

Good stuff is 4 ohm

How are you defining "good stuff"? Are you talking on the level of Sunfire, Krell and McIntosh?
