RL-P vs. XXX My review

[ls1pimp 10+ year member]

Amp is a Nine.1 and the box is a 1.0 cubic ft sealed enclosure. I had the RL-P in it for about a week, and the XXX just got put in today, and here are my findings.

These two subwoofers are completely not in the same league as eachother, maybe in SQ they are, but thats about it. The guy that wrote the other writeup comparing the RL-P to the XXX and saying the RL-P almost got as loud, and was the better choice has to be completely insane (no offense to whoever wrote that review //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif ). Or the only explanation is he used 750 watt, and i am using 1200 watts, so i guess before 750 watts, the RL-P is pretty even with the XXX in low power levels.

All i did was switch the RL-P with the XXX, did nothing else whatsover, same box, same amp everything. The first thing i noticed was the XXX has phenomal sound quality, probably about even with the RL-P, maybe the RL-P has a slight slight edge on sound quality but not by much. Comparing the two SPL wise is just not even fair. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif The RL-P hit nice and solid, but the XXX hits like a freakin animal. It rumbles my entire car from bottom to top, and if you have the windows up with the bass hitting a steady frequency range, it literally blows your hair around. Its absolutely insane, the RL-P does hit hard, but not even close to how hard the XXX hits. I would say the XXX literally hits twice as hard as the RL-P.

This is not meant to bash the RL-P at all, its a great driver, and it is about 200 dollars cheaper than the XXX, all i am saying is that other review wasn't very accurate in my opinion, the XXX completely destroys the RL-P like a little girl output wise, and the drop in sound quality is barely even noticeable.

Again, this is not an insult to the RL-P or soundsplinter, its an amazing driver, this is just to say if you are running a high power application like me (i guess 800 watts or over) the XXX will absolutely demolish the RL-P in output.

The RL-P is nice, but the XXX is just stupid loud, youll love it. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif I was playing with mine too much tonite, and blew a fuse in my distribution block, so no more fun until tommorow. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I got mine on ebay, im sure you could find someone selling one. When mine arrived today, the mounting holes still had the factory foam blocking them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

This sub is also in a hatchback (F-body) so if you have it in a trunk application, you may not recieve the same crazy SPL that i am getting.

XXX...heard great things about them...but i never heard them actually perform....im missing a lot there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The thing is just insane, thats the only way to describe it. It is so freakin tight too, everytime it hits its basically like a jackhammer slamming into your skull. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

And for you guys worried that the XXX is too SQ oriented, don't be, it hits like a **** freight train, 99% of people will be satisfied with how this sub sounds i think.

..keep in mind that this is a (10 or 12 inch?) in a 1^3 ft sealed enclosure. try to imagine my xxx15 in its snail shell...... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

They are not even in the same class

The SS RL-s is more of a competitor to the RE XXX

Well, the guy that reviewed the RL-P vs the XXX had alot of people misleaded (including me) into thinking that the RL-P and the XXX were at the same level, and i just made this to clear that up. Thats particulary the reason i was probably dissapointed with the RL-P output, i was expecting W7 like output because of threads like those misleading me.

They are 12 inch subs.

If you knew anything, which obviously you dont. You would know that the subwoofers SS makes arent geared toward SPL.

I know that i was told that they are SQL drivers, and the XXX is an SQL driver as well. Im not trying to get into an argument here man, im simply writing up a review of these two subs that are commonly compared to eachother.
