RL-p12 experts

[naturally_badass 0]

i have a single RL-p12 sub

whats your opinion on a box ( ported or sealed ) also dimensions.

to push sub i got a MTX Thunder 1000d, is this good enough to push this sub? i also dont know what type of connection, sub to amp.

i tried get help locally but they dont know whats a SOUNDSPLINTER.

so basically i need to be educated.

Nice sub, and don't worry, most local shops won't know what a nice driver like the RL-p is anyway. Here are the optimal enclosure sizes right off the website:

Optimal Car:

1.35 cu ft net volume sealed

1.5 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 34 Hz

1.85 cu ft net volume vented, Fb = 28 Hz

I have enjoyed mine in a 2.0 @ 27hz box. Welcome to SSA. I am no RL-p expert, just own one.

As for the optimal enclosure that depends on your goals. The Rlp sounds great in a sealed box (my preference) but isn't particularly "loud" that way, it will come alive when you port it.

is the mtx a 2ohm stable amp? i'm assuming it is, and hopefully you have a d4 rl-p...if you do, it's straightforward to hook it up. but we need to know those items....

yeah, too lazy to search.

i loved my rl-p in 1.25ft^3 net sealed. was plenty loud too, used a hifonics nemesis 750d to push it. it does come alive ported though, and i liked a 1.75-2ft^3 net box, tuned to 32-34hz, 32in^2 of port. loud, low and clean. the rl-p will please.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

rlp 12 is an nice sub ,for sealed i would prefered 1.25cuft or bigger.ported 1.7cuft or bigger .both sealed and ported box the rlp love it . if you want louder ported is the way to go.

oh ya its just a dimple hahaha.

naw i have a daughter & i had her stroller in the truck. 1 day i was bassing out & the sub seems to move up & up & up then i saw that.

as you can see in the video above it does not effect the performance of the sub

Nice video!

[naturally_badass 0]

Nice video!

thanks to you guys!

[playmysong 2]

How wide is that port, 3-4 inches? How did you tune that to 32 hz with 1.75 cubes? How long is your port, 50 inches cuz your box doesn't even look that big.

Hi guys,

its been a long time. well i dont know what happened to my sub but i think i blew it.

this is all i know. one morning i was listening to the radio with the volume not pass 15 ( sub @ -1 )

then i heard a thump sound from the sub. After that the sound went away & i started

smelling burnt coil. so as i got home i felt my amp which was hot. then i felt my sub

where the logo was at & that was hot too ( WTF ). so i dont know what happened

i took everything out & i was thinking to re -cone the sub. i tested my amp but now

it seems to have no power or it will just turn on then off. can you guys point me to the person that sales

the re-built kit . i really dont want to let this sub go. we have so much memories (haha).

THANKS!

Your amp might have clipped or something could have shorted out. I would first email Mike at soundsplinter.com first and see what he says.

[naturally_badass 0]
