RE or XXX 6.5

[kuijo 10+ year member]

Does anyone know if these work well IB and whats the RMS is on them? I'm going to call up RE to get some pricing but if anyone knows that off the top of their head please let me know.

THanks for your time

They work ideally in a .5cuft 40hz box but they do work in IB quite well, according to TeamPSI... the RMS is 150watts...

the RE comps are rated 50rms.... i was giving them 80 rms and didnt have a problem

the xxx6.5 drivers are rated at 150, im giving them approx 160rms and no problems

If your willing to make your own components I would go with the xxx6.5 drivers.... they are nice

I'm running the XXX6.5's IB. Very nice speakers.

I'm only going to be able to give them around 80-100ws or so, would it be better to over power the RE's or under power the XXXs? I hear the XXX's are very nice and a lot of components still do well running a bit lower then the RMS.

IB the xxx and 100w would be sufficient...

I am only running them on about 65 watts right now IB. They still sound amazing...
