best box plan for RL-p FIFTEEN

Recommended Posts

whats the best size for this? i was thinkin like 3 cubes, 30 sq inches of port, 3x10 slot, and tuned around 30-34, i will have anywhere from 6-1000 watts to mess with.

Edit: I fexxed up on this post. Check my follow up below for the correction

3 cubes net is a little large. I would suggest no more than 2.5 cu ft net volume per driver with 600-750wrms. With 750-1000wrms, I would suggest tailoring that down a bit to 1.8-2.0 cu ft net volume. I'd also recommend between 35-40 sq inches of port area, and tuning from 28-32 Hz.

Just picked up a new batch of 15's and man they are sexy. Logoless too, as I didn't want to make people wait any longer and that printer was just taking his sweet ass time. In fact, I may even have a batch of logoless 12's comin' in soon too B)

.. and the 8's, well the 8's should be here by the first week of May at the latest (keepin' my fingers crossed that I won't eat my words this time around lol.gif)

Whoops... I'm a dork, I was thinkin' of a 12 incher for some reason in my above reply. Please disregard that info, 3 cu ft net for a ported RL-p15 would be just fine! 2.5 cu ft would also suffice, but you probably wouldn't want to go any smaller than 2.25 cu ft with one of those 15's. Sorry about that confusion. sealedlips.gif

About the logo's, I've been playing it by ear. It seems half the people like the logos and half don't, so I don't really feel bad about having an inconsistent theme when it comes to logo'd versus logoless drivers. The printer just wasn't cutting it and I didn't want to let my stock get too low so I put in quite a few orders not waiting for the logo's to come out. Currently I have the following logoless drivers:

  • 1 RL-p12 4ohm dvc
  • 4 RL-p12 2ohmer dvc
  • 10 RL-p15 4ohmer dvc
  • 6 RL-i12 4ohm dvc
  • 1 RL-i10 4ohm dvc

In the future, I hope to find a new pad printer that can work quicker (or else I will probably just stock up on hundreds of cones at a time), at which point I will likely phase away from logoless drivers. Afterall, that logo is a good promotional device.. and makes for some sexy porn B)

well......im doing things backwards and ordering the sub after all. although i dont know what im amp im gunna run but i guess ill figure it out. im thinkin going dual 2, but dual 4 would work as well because i can do one amp on either side of the sub......hmmm....mike disregard the dual 2 comment in the email, dual 4 is my need.

All drivers shipping from the Los Angeles area include stickers in each package. In the rare event that you are getting a driver fresh off the line, shipped directly from TC Sounds, you can always send a direct request to me and I'll happily mail out some stickers for you. That said, if anyone wants some stickers and they don't even have a SoundSplinter driver, I'd be happy to oblige so drop me a line if you want some sexy stickyickyickers tongue2.gif

i was thinkin like 3 cubes, 30 sq inches of port, 3x10 slot, and tuned around 30, i will have anywhere from 6-1000 watts to mess with.

this is what i come up with

(14630000*(D/2)*(D/2))/((Fb*Fb*Vb*1728)-(1463*(D/2))

(14630000*(4/2)*(4/2))/((30*30*3*1728)-(1462*(4/2))

58520000/4665600-731

58520000/4664869

12.54

will a single 4 inch port be enuff for it? or should i do 2 4 inch ports? and i dont just divide that in half, what do i do to figure it out?

also, do i need to have something like 3.4-3.5 cubes and then after port and sub displacemnt have 3 cubes?

ummm....what???

no, a single 4" round port will NOT be enuff...two will get ya closer, but a slot port would be better..

what the heck are u trying to divide??

and yes..ur box will indeed be about 3.5ft^3 or larger in order to net 3ft^3 after port and sub displacement...

clarify what ur trying to say up there and i'll try to get ya worked out...lol..

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

I think I'm going to pick up a pair of rl-p 12's in about a week or so now. How's the rl-p 12 dual 4 ohm stock? When does the new shipment of logoless 12's come in assuming they will be logoless? I cant really decide whether or not I want a logo. lol. The logoless is so damn sexy, but then again it kind of needs a logo or does it?

here's the current logoless stock..

1 RL-p12 4ohm dvc

4 RL-p12 2ohmer dvc

10 RL-p15 4ohmer dvc

6 RL-i12 4ohm dvc

1 RL-i10 4ohm dvc <---spoken for...:lol:

i believe he has more with logo's..but u'll need to email him or wait for him to post here...

RL-p12 D4 stock is painfully low. I have a pending production order for more of them, but that damn printer is just so slow getting the logos on those cones, I just don't understand why it takes 5 weeks to print a logo, especially when you already have the custom pad layin' around from a previous print job rolleyes.gif

So, I will probably give TC the go ahead to make them with logoless black annodized cones asap. I'll know more on estimated availability by this weekend, as I'm heading down to TC today to go do some talkin' (and some surfing with Thilo!) grin.gif

thats what ive been shown to get the length of a round port.

(14630000*(D/2)*(D/2))/((Fb*Fb*Vb*1728)-(1463*(D/2))

D=port diameter Fb=box frequency Vb=box volume.
