Yes, that is the SPL sub.

There is no spec's on it because you have a bunch of options. The MT is louder than any of the other RE lines no matter if your running 10watts or 10,000. From what I "hear" they get going well with about 4K.

Ive owned a 18" and currently run a 15" and like them...

You sir, are incorrect...

How so?

That's a ton of power bro...requires very expensive amps, and extremely upgraded electircal system.

The lower line subs like the SX and XXX will get louder with less power than the MT from what I've heard...it's the sensible option only while using lots of power.

**** so those are that muhc...how i dont hear about these subs outside of htese forums....are they new...i cant find shit on ebay for them...rolf

No, your wrong. Perhaps you should read my whole post before you retort with some ignorant response...You OBVIOUSLY dont know what your speaking of...

 

[D3M0N 10+ year member]

LOL...ok what compares to the Re line up of subs..

 

[InhumanAcura 5,000+ posts]

The RE line....Ummm Id say....

AudioQue's lower line http://www.audioque.com

Incriminator Audio 187 http://www.incriminatoraudio.com

Or even the TREO lower line....

The DD 1000 series. I am pretty sure they made this as an entry level spl sub. www.ddaudio.com

I'm going to go with what numerous others have said and proven about low power levels. With 1800 watts, dual MT's were 1 dB louder than dual SX's in a test done by the president of RE. Not a complete test because it was in one setup, but never-the-less, not worth the extra money when you need more power (more money) to get it going more. Especially when he's complaining about how much all the drivers cost.

Remember guys, there is LOUD in two different senses:

1) High SPL at a single frequency in a high tuned ported box

2) High SPL across the driver's usable bandwidth, say 20-80Hz

The MT is the loudest for condition 1, but it is NOT the loudest for condition two. It was never DESIGNED to be loudest in condition two.

So, if you are looking for SPL has in loud over a wide range of frequencies, I'd recommend getting the XXX. If you want it to fart loudly for an SPL competition, get the MT, because that is precisely what it is designed to do. Hence the fact that it's suspension and coil configuration are customizable, so they best suit a given SPL install.

Bottom line: For music, even loud music, the XXX is a better choice than the MT, and will far more effectively convert power into output, and will do so with FAR less distortion than the MT.

RE will tell you the same thing. The MT is a purpose built woofer. It CAN play music, but that's not really what it's designed for, and certainly not the application which suits it best.

This is what he asked....Judging by the title and his overall question it sounds like an SPL install or atleast he's looking for an spl driver. Not which sub in the RE line will get loudest with music.

if you want pure SPL, its an excellent match.
