Who has rl-p's?...

[saywhat? 5,000+ posts]

See thats my problem, w6's cost more than most subs, and i am already in a little debt cuz i had to replace the motor in my car, so i was trying to find something for less money...

by the time u send mike some money.....its gunna be around 500 bucks for two of em. u can save money by just buying another W6v2

Someone should do a real comparison instead between the two.

How would the spl compare if i only got one 12"rl-p, using the same box i have now(about 1.25^3), using the same amp i have now, 450 rms?

 

[ndnbolla 10+ year member]

lets just see how this would be cost wise.

For RL-P Setup:

2 RL-P's: No less than $450 shipped

New Amp: Need to give each sub atleast 400+ watts, depends on your current box. So no less than $250 shipped for 800 watt rms amp.

Box: $0, already have one

-12W6v2: maybe 250 shipped?

-Kenwood KAC-929 Amp: 180 shipped?

End Result: $630 +plus more ouput - some SQ

For single 12W6v2 setup:

12W6V2: $0, already have it

JL 500/1 Amp: around $400 shipped (better amps out their for cheaper, but hey)

New Box: $50 if you build yourself

-Kenwood KAC-929 Amp: 180 shipped?

End Result: $270 same output (maybe a little more since more power), same outstanding SQ

just rough estimates, no guarantees. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I wouldnt have to by the 500/1, theres a guy on another forum that wants to trade it for my mountain bike, a guy my dad has traded with, so i am working on that deal, then if i decide to get other subs i can sell the 500/1, my w6v2, nd my kenwood amp, then work on buying the new stuff with the money i will get for selling my current setup and the new 500/1

I heard the RL-P was similar to the XXX?

 

[xDeadHeadx 10+ year member]

rl-p s get really loud and sound good doing it, i have 2 rl-p 15' and they get way too loud for daily driving

If you mean by similar, they're both subwoofers, then yes //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The RL-p, IMO, is not built for the same application that the XXX was. The power handling, motor design, enclosure sizes, and sonic character make them two very different drivers.

here is a comparison between the rl-p and the xxx.

also check out the adire brahma and the ascendant audio avalanche.

the avalanche is on sale and they have authorized the sale of their backorders, so you might want to hurry if that's the case.

here is a review of those as well.

i agree, though. the w6v2 is the only JL I have considered purchasing before i nabbed my brahmas.

Thanks for the links...I guess i'll just have to see how much money i can get for the stuff i currently own to see if i want to try a set of something else..And is there only 15 and 18 inch avalanches?

 

[guy022077 10+ year member]

i have 2 rlps and i have only one in my car and its doing very well. great sq and very loud, and its not even in a decent enclosure. ill be redoing them this weekend and i hope to put both in and wang all over my old hx2's. if i were you i would just get another jl and sell that amp and get another ...it will cost you less in the long run.

 

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

How much do you think it would cost to get 2 12 rl-p's and a hifonics 1500d shipped? round numbers please

and do you think i will need to upgrade alternators if i run the above setup?

 

[crhye250r 10+ year member]

The w6v2s are nice drivers, and can perform very well in the output department, while maintaining their composure, if they are in the proper enclosure with the right power. Keep that in mind before you go spending more money that you have to. But that is just my two cents.

 

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

How many watts can be run to the 12w6v2's without hurting their performance? I know JL says 400 rms but i have heard that they are underrated a little? Anybody know?

 

[$$mok3d 10+ year member]

I too have an Rl-p 15 run off an ED 9.1 and it gets **** loud for just 1 15 even in its shitty enclosure. The SQ is nice too and better than the 2 12w3v2 i had before. Soon i will build a ported box tuned low when i get some extra cash for mdf. I would say go with another W6 but u dont got the hookup for jl products like i do. got the 2 w3's for 150 brand spanking new //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What kind of "hookup" gets you 2 12w3v2's for 150?Because i paid 315 for the ones i used to have and i thought i got a good deal...

 

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

$$mok3d u got a pm

 

[ls1pimp 10+ year member]

I may have one (12 inch RL-P) going on sale soon. Its been used for literally 10 days, before than it was brand new, never seen power. Its a Dual 2 ohm, they don't make the Dual 2 ohm one anymore, all they make now is Dual 4 ohm, so mine is great if you wanna run the amp at 1 ohm. Let me know if you are interested.

 

[ighettoboyi 10+ year member]

wait rl-p's are going up in price or something?
