Flip a coin, it's a tough decision.

Both are made by tc and I believe the motor on the rl-p is one model above that of the aluminum. Im not too sure though so dont take my word for it.

i personally have a alum eclipse and mine sounds great with all kinds of rock/metal (slipknot, pantera, etc.)

MINE IS SEALED THO

The Eclipse Alum uses the TC7 motor, the RL-p uses the TC9. They both use a 4 layer alum roundwire coil, the coil length on the Alum is either 1.6 or 1.8", I can't remember. The RL-p uses a 2"+ long coil, so it should have the advantage for thermal powerhandling.

The RL-p has a much stronger motor and a lower Fs than the Alum does as well.

The Eclipse Alum uses the TC7 motor,

haha.....awesome. I used to have some 88120DVC Eclipse Alums, and just earlier today was wondering which TC model they were (since hopefully this weekend I'll be dropping my Rl-p into my car)....and was honestly going to start a thread and ask. But you just saved me the trouble //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
