Wich's Better RE10 x2 or RE12 x 2 ?

[mledez 10+ year member]

Hello,

The difference in price is like $30 for the pair... Looking for SQ which will be better choice?

Also the RE12 will be LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUDEEEEEEEEEEEEEERR, or just Louder than RE10, cuz both have the same power handling... I'm talking about RE RE Series.

The Vehicle is a Dahiatsu Bee-Go

The space I think at max 2.8 cu/ft, I will use a false floor, please let me know waht you think...

Should I go vented or sealed ? Mostly a hip hop listener

The Subs Are RE RE10 and RE RE12

-->with that space, def the 10's vented

-->if you use the recommended box, you will have a peak at 50hz and a -3db at 33hz

-->for sq, i like the flattest response, which for that woofer is 1.83ft^3 at 24.2hz which for 2 would be 3.66ft^3

Wao ... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif how are you calculing that values ? The box needs to be tuned to which frequency ?

Also... Do you recommend common space or each sub with it's own space ?

in my setup, each sub has it's own airspace. if you want flat response and really like the super lows, then go for the lower tune and slightly larger box..if you want the peak at 50hz, then build the other...it is up to you as to what you want to hear.

edit: the 50hz peak is at +3db

Have you used HT BassBox Pro ? In the box designer appears two Frequencys box, FB and F3...

So what Frequency needs to be equals to the one that appears "for example" in the tech sheets... I mean 1 cu.ft @ 35hz, the 35hz needs to match Fb or F3 ?

I have not used that program....fb is box resonance

I would go with a pair of RE10s
