Who has rl-p's?...

Buy another W6v2 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
That would be my vote.

X2 it will be less than buying two new RL-P's.

why not just make a new box for one sub.
that would be the least expensive option on my list but if you want two rl-p's then you will most likely need a new amp cuz the Kenwood won't cut it, imo.

Yea i will have to get a new amp, i am looking into getting a JL 500/1 if i keep just the w6

But i could sell the w6 and my kenwood and get two used rl-ps for cheaper considering i will have some money to play with then

Any other opinions?

I say save the money, build a new enclosure....you already have a better driver, IMHO

not dissing RL's, but yours is already bought and paid for, and why sell everything to buy used drivers?

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.

 

[chris96camaro 10+ year member]

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?
