I got a SS 12" RL-p and found a ported box design (from aneonrider) and want to try building it, but i'm having some trouble understanding it. Here is the cut sheet Cut Sheet 32.000 x 13.750 Top 32.000 x 13.750 Bottom 15.000 x 13.750 Sides 28.500 x 15.000 Front 30.500 x 15.000 Back 11.000 x 15.000 Port 1 25.000 x 15.000 Port 2 3.500 x 15.000 Port 3 I tried drawing it out but i don't understand the ports and spacing, can someone explain it to me? also what is port displacement? The box is suppose to be 2'^3 tuned to 28hz Port Displacement 0.226 Length 1 0.460 Length 2 0.095 Length 3 0.257 Wood 1.038 Total Thanks for viewing and much more thanks for helping

The following clip is of an RL-i12 driver inside a 1.2 cu ft net volume sealed enclosure, driven by a 500watt Bash plate amp. Song being played is a rap run known as "Ain't Nothin' But a G-Thang" by Snoop 'n Dr. Dre. Nearly went deaf recording this video (note to self, wear ear plugs when you're sitting right next to a loud woofer ). Just figured I'd throw this one up here to dissuade the fears of those who might think the RL-p is the only worthy contender from SoundSplinter Broadband .avi Clip with sound: ~9 MB Dialup .wmv Clip with NO sound: ~1 MB *Note: I'd suggest right-clicking the boradband link and 'Saving Target As..' since playing the file directly with Windo…

I installed the subs tonight and wired them to my MMATS class D amp. I must say these play quite LOW for 8's! I did not have much of a chance to adjust parametric EQ settings or gain. I figure that I was able to only feed 1/3 to 1/2 of total power into the subs tonight. At this level they played quite loud and tight. I was also made aware that the electrical system in my Toyota Matrix is not up to the task as my lights dimmed during the hard hits. I could only imagine what will happen when I set the system up properly! As a recap, I am running a pair of RL-i8's in a sealed enclosure with a total volume of .828 cu^f after sub displacement. I added 1 pound of polyfill to b…

hey i may be buying an rlp 15 cheap but the guy didnt know what was wrong with the sub until i asked him about the the mag not being magnetized...would it be under coverage for him? warranty or something, or can i buy it have it shipped to you guys and you guys get it magnetized? thqnk you much hunterw

this is what i got in a g35, i believe stock alt is 90 amps: xenon 100x2 zed deuce 800x1 rl-p d2 in 1.35 sealed box. finally installed my rl-p d2. and i just love the way it sounds. problem is... when i turn the volume halfway to where i want, my lights starts dimming already. i'm like wtf! my '91 mazda minivan had a better charging system! i may have overshot a little by buying the zed deuce, but i didn't think it would be this bad. i'm so pissed i bought all this chit and can't even use it to its potential. i've read that replacing the big 3 will help...but how much really? i'm thinking of maybe porting...or worse, having to go with another brand that's mor…

buddy of mine is looking at the RLp 18, or a pair of RLp15's. he is worried about upper frequency extension, i planned on building a box with a swappable\pluggable port. i was wondering what people are using for box sizes, and what the best volume would be for a sealed and ported box. any recommendations\expierences would be greatly appriciated. thanks a bunch

Im "considering" getting my front doors redone via fiberglass and setting up a strong front stage. Comps up top, with some RLi 8s in a sealed atleast 0.4cu ft enclosure per door. Depending on the amp still havnt decided if im going to go with SVC of DVC as of yet. Going to give them atleast 150rms per to work with, maybe even upward 300+ should my elec system support it. Upto what freq range would the 8s be able to go upto? I was thinking upto atleast 200hz, still open to debat on what to cross them at. As for the comps, im leaning heavliy towards a set of rainbows...undecided which ones atm. From the looks of things is going to be atleas a 600+ rms front stage should thi…

how hot should the cone get? after wanging pretty hard tonite for some reason i decided to feel the cone. i couldn't even keep my hands on them. i unstand that the vc produces heat and aluminum will "wick" the heat away from the "vc" which don't get me wrong, is a good thing. but how how does everyone else get?

will be a few days till i get powr to her

sup guys i'm new to the forum, i've been reading alot about SS and their P series line, i saw that their was a group buy for it, i was wondering how would these subs do in a ported box 6cf tuned to 28hz, i'm lookin to buy 3 of the 12" rl-p in dual 2 ohm, i will be pushing them with a orion 2500d so they will get about 700-800..... is this recommended.......

i recently bought another sound splinter rl-s. i have both of them in a 4 cuft sealed box powered by a mmats d3500.1. they sound awesome. what else is awesome is that i asked mike if he could personally delivered the sub to me and he did. when he brought the sub i was like damn i got my sub delivered by the owner of the company. how awesome is that. lol. anyways my car sounds awesome and i will have vids soon.

OK, I know ported would be most peoples choice, lol. Here's the thing. I can get 8.5cubes if I keep the box below the window & seat line. That is ideally what I would love to have. That would be enough to go sealed with my 2 RL-p 18"s. My problem is, I know how I am with my bass, and I don't know if I'm going to be satisfied with a sealed box. The only way I could do a ported box is by doing a wall. I can get more than 18cubes if I went that way. My problem with that is, I like looking out my back window, lol. Not to mention that in competitions it puts me in a higher class. I don't want that either, lol. I know I'm being difficult here, but I figured I would ask just…

Any input would be appreciated. In the market for some new drivers. Since I've had so much success with the RL-i8, I thought I would try out the 10s . Option 1.) 3 RL-i10's. Sealed .48ft^3 net volume each. 433 watts rms each. Orion 1200d @ .67ohms. Option 2.) 2 RL-i10's. Sealed .53ft^3 net volume each. 650 watts rms each. Orion 1200d @ 1ohm. Main question is about the Orion. Will it be stable @ .67ohms. I don't know how impedance rise effectively changes in a small sealed box. I don't see the enclosure space difference of .05ft^3 effecting much low end output. Any thoughts? Advice? Opinions? Love to hear what you guys would suggest Thanks Adam

Hi guys! I am about to build my first box. The sub is a rli-10 DVC. The sealed box will be about 11 x 11 x 13.6. I was going to use MDF 3/4. Inside volume then equals ~ 0.64^3, which is just shy of the recommended size for this sub in a sealed box. (recommended size = 0.65) I was reading on Crutchfield that they recommend a double layer of MDF on the side where you mount the sub. That would really cut into my box volume. It's a tight squeeze as it is and I can't really make the box any bigger. My question is if you think a double layer is needed on such a small box. Also.. I would really like to make the box even smaller. Say like cut the depth of it by another inch. That…

Im not very impressed by my first box build go figure. Its more of a cube shape than a rectangle and it doesnt fit in my trunk flush like i wanted it to. So i need to build a new box now. Im running the rl-p off an ED 9.1 at 2ohms and i want a box that will hit the lows very well. i was thinking 16x12x25 made out of 3/4 mdf. would this enclosure be ideal for good low end extension?

Ok, I've decided that I want to go with a set of Rl-p's. Either way I go, I have enough room for the recommended enclosure sizes. They will be powered by an eD Nine.1. The problem is, do I go with 15's or 12's? I listen to mainly rap, and I want it to wang hard. However, I do listen to classic rock from time to time. Maybe you guys can help me decide on 12's or 15's? Thanks, Ry

i traded my $500 gift certificate for these 2 db extreme soundstreams. they seem to be a little bit beefier than the RL-p's they are ran to a .5 ohm final load. my amp seems to be doing ok, w/ impedance rise i expect it to be around 1ohm. i'll graph it later to make sure. the basket is about 1/8-1/4" bigger on the dbx's. well here's the pics.....

In a 1.5^3 sealed box with about 700 watts going to each sub which one one do you think will be louder SE or RL-p. Which would have Better SQ?

well I had my heart set on the new LMT soundsplinter subs and I wanted to get them as soon as they came out SOO BAD!!! but another offer came up and I wanted to take advantage of it. as many of you have seen on the realm of excursion site the sub that I recieved. sorry mike . mabey in the future I'll get some SS subs because my love for audio wont die. anyways since i made this post i thought what the heck why not take some pics of my LMT sub and the vid heh http://www.realmofexcursion.com/videos/TC%...nds/lmt15.1.wmv but im not takin the soundsplinter.com off my sig i wanna represent a good company

well at 1st i was going to go with one JL 12W6v2 in a ported ~1.5^3ft enclosure.(regular box,mdf, tuned 27-28 Hz) powered by an ed nine.1. then i came across the fiberglass post down at ca.com and thought about putting two 10's in a custom fiberglass enclosure in each of the wheel wells. this is where the rl-i 10s come in. would two 10" rl-i's in a sealed fiber glass enclosure with about ~1^3ft of space for each sub and both powered by one ed nine.1 amp be enough to compare it to or even outperform the (1) 12w6v2 i was speakin of earlier? im goin for an sq setup but i still want some spl. i know that the w6 do well in these categories but now i am interested in the rl-i s…

Cliffnots for those who dont like to hear me blab: 2 12" RLP dual 2 ohm. Pre-built 3.3cuft box. (single cab silverado) To port, or not to port? If ported, will be 2x 4" ports, how long? Polyfill? SQ is the main concern, but spl should follow. Infinite power available. (almost) I suck at math. WinIsd hates me. My cat's breath smells like cat food ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I just put in my order for a pair of 12" rlp dual 2ohms. I have a couple questions regarding my enclosure... They will be installed in my silverado single cab. I already have an enclosure built, its size comes out to about 3.3 cu ft, which is pretty damn big…

Hi there, I have a Dodge Ram 06 CTD Quad Cab with a sealed center console sub/box .90cf downfiring(it replaces teh front middle seat and can still be used as a seat) and a Diamond Audio CM3 4ohm single voice coil sub and an alpine class D amp 400 rms @ 4ohms 600rms @ 2ohms. Well Im not happy with the diamond audio sub performance on that box with only 400rms, now I have 2 choices, get a diamond audio D6 sub and give it 600rms or get a RL-i8 port it and give it 600 rms... Tu sub box is 22" long(front to back), 8"tall and 13" wide, it has a "hole in the bottom for a 12" sub, now my plan is to seal he bottom hole for the 12"sub and make an opening for a RL-i8 sub on the top …

what are the excursion limits on my rl-p 15? i wouldnt mind knowing for when im letting it wang to keep it on the safe side.

So I finally got the courage to buy some quality speakers (my first REAL setup to me). Mike was extremely quick and helpful, and today I got a nice surprise in the form of 2 12" RL-p's waiting for me. I was slacking, honestly didn't think the subs would come in already, so me and a friend put together a box for it today. Right now its sealed with individual chambers for each sub. 1.92 cubes before displacement and 1.74 cubes after. Would it be worth it to port this? If I port it then I MIGHT be able to get 1.5cubes for each sub, but maybe less. Right now I'll be running each sub at 400watts RMS each, how will it perform in the current sealed setup? I really wish I had bui…

Hi guyz, Received my subs in good shape today. What's in the box??? Very well packed, solid second box - Thankx Mike Stickers came with the subs. Sure those aren't Soundsplinter subs but I'm still willing to use it. Nice logo, thought that it would be bigger. Since it is smaller, I'm even happier. Sorry for the pics, taken with phone Those things are heavy craps... Hope my box doesn't fall apart lol I'm having my cousin build the box for me while I'm flying to Japan. I'm so excited to listen to those little buggers. 650rms @ 4ohm from an Audison LRx3.1k --going--> 2xEpic DVC4 in around 0.8cuft sealed. This will be the first Audiopulse setup in Tahiti - Frenc…
