SPL question about re8's

[Jameseypoo 5,000+ posts]

Hi, I just bought four of them and I wanted to know if anybody else on this board has had them. I plan on running around 200 rms to each sub and they will be wired down to 2 ohms and they will be ported in a 35hz box. How much spl can I expect from this? Would it be comparable to any of my previous systems?

1 12" JL w6v2 sealed @ 500 watts

2 12" Kicker CVR sealed @ 400 watts a piece

ok now don't laugh at the next two..... i was young

2 10" mtx 4000 sealed receiving around 100 watts a piece

2 15" pyramind hyper pro's sealed at around 100 watts a piece...

I heard four of them ported at 35 ish I think this last weekend. SPL was comprable to my kappa's, the low end was really there, but it wasn't that bad.

Ask NGSM13 abou t them, it was his g/f's Jeep. I personally wouldn't run them, but that's just me.

How do your kappa's sound?

Tasty? I'm not sure what you're asking me. About as good as two Kappa 12.1's are gonna sound in a 7.3 cube box (inlcuding port) with 210 watts RMS each...

the 8's are one of the best buys out there.

I HAD 4 re8's in 2 cubes NET @35hz in my g/f's jeep grand cherokeer with about 650rms total to them. They ****in WANGED for what they were. She had them for near a year, paid $150 shipped for them when I got them...KILLER *** system with a great box by me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif They fooled A LOT of people.

Just something for perspective, you COULD hear her coming...and the rear view mirror would fall off every once in a while. Take that for what it's worth...

Now the 4 re8's are in my bro's car, and my g/f has a single LI12 in 2.3 cubes @32hz with 650rms //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif (It's an improvement).

I had 4 in 2 cubes tuned to around 34 ish with 900 watts, alot of people said they sounded like one 15 or two 12's, they didn't take up alot of space but they also didn't have that low end, I now have 2 of the 4 8's in a TL setup under my bed
