the downfall of RE unfolding before our very eyes...

How do you figure that?

I think that the RL-P will be a new forum boner... not that soundsplinter doesn't deserve it of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

that does not denote RE of course...

i wouldnt say that re is gonna have a downfall at all it still has its nitch just like sound splinter adire and some of the other companies. its always best to determin application space and power BEFORE picking a sub. i have worked retail for years and its pathetic 7 out of 10 times someone buys the uber woofer when they dont need it (meaning it running lower that its potential). they just throw away a couple hundred more on the super sub and dont have the right space/box/power.

thats what i'm trying to figure out...if i can build the box bigger and have it louder than the 2 rl-p's then there is no reason to throw away another couple hundred...

Bingo, thats why I picked one up //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif. From mrray's (and a cpl other) reviews I have read, they are good, and get low and linear in small sealed enclosures (I have a .75 ft^3) and in that enclosure should be able to handle 1200-1400W like a champ.

Guess I will find out though, can't learn everything from what you read, now for the experimentation.

is the RLi series a good sub????

 

[jellyfish420 10+ year member]

hey i just seen this....

even with the bigger box on the 15 the impedance is gonna

kill me. it wouln't even be seeing half the power...right

and with the 1-12's being the lowest it will see more

power than the single 15 is getting now...right???

Seems like it is, based on the TC2 motor. Haven't seen too many reviews on it though.

Yea i too have been looking into the 15" RL-ps, and some LMTs.

I can't really understand those graphs, but are you saying the 15"s won't hit as low as the 12"s???

I was hoping it would hit lower then the 12, which was going to be one of my main reason for buying.

Also it's like 2 for $500, which seems cheap for what i'm hearing.

The TC2+ motor, actually, which is held by some as a reference home theater driver. Link

Some of the folks on ECA seem to think highly of it, and I believe that cheapboy did a small comparison which included the TC2+ (I could be mistaken, though). Those are the only reviews that I'm aware of.

the 15's wouldn't hit as low...in the size box that i have available for it.

so IN MY APPLICATION i could get the 12's lower.

but maybe in YOUR APPLICATION you can build a bigger box w/ more port.

I don't understand how you are modeling that 12. Everytime I try to model the 12" RL-p's using the specs on SS's site, the results are not correct (not even close). Even Mike will tell ya it doesn't model well. Are you having BBP6 calculate a lot of the specs? Or are you going straight off of the website?

i entered them strait off the site...

I was just about to say this. Do NOT rely on any of those graphs. Should be used as a starting point only. Plug the Magnum specs in there, it's even uglier.
