Rsd 12 vs MAW-15 vs RE SR 12...wtf?

[ls2poweredgoat 5,000+ posts]

Should I buy? I am looking to run a single sub set up for now, and my budget is $120 shipped, but I will go up to $150 shipped if the sub is right.

I want SQ, but I also want decent output too.

I'm leaning towards the Rsd12...but I'm having a hell of a time finding a site that sells the D4. I have 600 watts rms to play with.

The MAW-15 looks yummy because I know it will get loud if I want it to, and I don't know much about the RE SR 12.....Kidthump suggested it..

I want to go ported...I'm not the biggest fan of sealed boxes...

So why the Maw?

RSD12D!! That's the Dual4 version, sending 900 watts a piece to my two, they love it. Some loud SQL for sure, great budget sub.

Any idea where I could pick up a DUAL-4 Rsd 12?

My roommate has the MAW-15 in a 3 ft^3 @ 30hz box with a kx600.1 (i think) and its pretty nice. I have heard really good things about the RSd's though.

Yeah, same here, but I'm sure the MAW-15 would give me better output. From what I've heard the MAW performs well in terms of SQ in a sealed box, but like I said I'm looking to run ported. I have about 3-3.5 cu ft to play with, and I like low tuning, probably around 32 or so.

~3.5 tuned to 30hz with a Maw 15 and it will get LOW... Mine in 3 cuft got LOW, but still felt they were a bit boomy, so the extra .5 should help. I don't think you can go wrong either way with an RSD or a Maw. Never used the PG, but only heard good things about them.

How was it on sq??

 

[Kold_Killa 10+ year member]

the sq was ridiculous nice at low to moderate volumes... but like I was saying, a bit boomy if I cranked it, but I know this could have been solved with just a tad bit bigger box.
