'feeding'

i have this amp to power my rl-i10 : http://highlite.omc.net/index.php/highlite...s/p_500_vintage. do you think it would be a good match with the sub ? my system plays 90% of the time only music. i watch movies very rarely...

nevet seen that before, but the power seems fine

Id be more worried about the fan loudness than the power

oh, well, you win some, you loose some. at least it's got the power i need

my rl-i10 should be here in about 3 weeks. thanks mike !

what would you guys reccomend as a 'starter' box for the rl-i ?

i'm thinking about 0.21 cf sealed...

i'm wondering wether to go with 1inch mdf or 3/4inch particle board (i have some left-overs from previous 'projects') ?

3/4" MDF is fine, I have not tried the RL-i sealed. That seems like a small box, but people have never had a complaint about the RL-i regardless of box.

IMO, i'd do at least .5ft^3 with that power. i've got my 8 rl-i in .17ft^3 and it does a great job off a lot less power, but there is so much more in it. it was awesome in 1.25ft^3 tuned to 36hz!

500wrms on the rl-i is perfect power. that should be sweet little combo.

build the box big, say .75ft^3 net and slug it down to .21ft^3 and play with the volume a bit. see where you like it best.

3/4" mdf FTW!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm worried about panel flex. the box i currently own is made out of 3/4" particle board, and one of the panels (13"/13") flexes...

i've though about sealed until it breaks in...after sealed, i've though about putting it in this : http://www.decware.com/newsite/dbk10.htm

sounds sweet with an infinity ref1040w in it.

1" mdf = overkill ? not worth the extra $$ ? i've already calculated all the panels. i'm going to buy the mdf pre-cut from the shop. the shop charges .15$/m for cutting.

MDF is MUCH stronger than PB.

You will not have any issues with flex with 3/4" MDF in the size of enclosure, and power level you are using.
