RL-p 15s vs RE RE 12s

[cougarballa2k5 0]

(2) RL-p 15s sharing 400 RMS (5.5 NET @ 33hz)

vs

(2) RE RE 12s sharing 400 RMS (3.8 NET @ 35hz)

Any guesses, bets, or wagers as to who will come out on top? This test will be performed by ear -- no meter used. So it may be an unnoticable change.

New amp won't be here until next week, so I figured I would have some fun and put together a handicap match.

Ding Ding Ding!!!! ROUND ONE

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I'll be impressed if that happens. I'm just wondering if the limited power will give the REs a nice edge.

I find out tomorrow morning. All I have left to do is cut mounting holes, wire, and screw the bishes in :-D.

The port looks pretty damn good, I always like how slot ports turn out looking.

15 vrs 12?? the 15s have to have more output with about the same power?

[cougarballa2k5 0]

Well, I screwed up the first test run. It didn't sound too great and it wasn't as loud as the 12s .

Obviously I was disappointed. Then I noticed they were moving funny, so I took out the 9v to test polarity and BAM one speaker wasn't really moving. Just resonating off the other. Sure enough, one loose wire :-D. Just fixed it and demoed for 10 seconds.

RL-p WINS!!! I can't say by how much as I only have 10 second of listening time thus far. I work a 5 hour shift today delivering food...so I'll have a comprehensive report soon!

the SE's are good subs, but not in the same league as the RL-p even if they were the same size

[cougarballa2k5 0]

These aren't even SE they are RE.

Rl-p wins, bout 2db louder across the board. No meter, just lots of experience.

Box is flexing something sad in a certain spot. So threaded rod or some other form of bracing will be implemented.

threaded rod. those babies sheared a couple 3" deck screws in my car

And close to the same price.

If only mike had the spun aluminum cones back when my friend bought his SE.....

[cougarballa2k5 0]

Errrr, the RL-p is almost $100 more than an SE.

[Supa_c 1]

Not if you dont buy from RE
