Ask Me about SI Mag V4!
Rd Audio Alpha
12" Test Session Box
.3 db behind the mag
Note these scores are to be used as a referance only to other drivers that were tested in this test. I can make a driver do a 150, but this box was built to be most like most spl applications out there today.
doing a 143.7 sealed on the dash in a 2 cube ported box with 2 4 inch aeros tuned to 50 hz peaking 52 hz with approximately 1800 watts. With this amount of power the coil temperature raised quickly and the sub approached mechanically limit
SQ listening Results
1st test
JimJ's Cargo Van in a 1.8 cube sealed box with around 800 watts of power
the subwoofer played accurately and did well in upper frequencies. The bass seemed to be lacking in the lower end, compared to other drivers such as the mag this subwoofer reminded me of the sound of the q in the sealed box ) The low end was there, but not as i would like. I'll let JimJ post his results in here thouroughly
2nd test
2 cubes ported in a Trunk car with approximately 800 watts of power
This subwoofer enjoyed the ported box alot more than the sealed. I must say i was pleasantly surprised low end output of this driver in the ported box. IMO ported is the way to go with this driver. But meh im a SPL nerd.
Im awaiting doing more testing in the trunk car for SPL results hopefully i can get some numbers for you tomorrow out of the trunk car.
Id like to thank RD audio for the opportunity to test this speaker and it lived up to the expectations i had for it
All in all a very nice Mid Level Driver
