i know rl-ps are not for getting loud, but i was curious as to what some of u guys are hitting on the meter with a rl-p 15?

Hey guys, quick rundown of what I have had in the past (for comparison purposes) and what I have now. Old vehicle, '93 Explorer, Eclipse Head unit, 5433 I think, Diamond Audio 5X7's in all doors, Diamond Audio M6 tweeters in A-pillars, US Acoustics USB 4085 amp for all the above mentioned, Diamond CM3 10" D4 subs in a transmission line ported enclosure, powered by a Diamond D5 600.2 amp. New vehicle, '99Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Eclipse CD5000 headunit(sweet), Eclipse SC8264 Components in front doors (sweet), MB Quart DKK116 6.5 Coax's in rear doors, all ran off same US Acoustics amp, the RL-p12" sub ran off the Diamond Amp (600rms@4ohms), sub is in sealed enclosure, ~1.…

Well my RL-i 10's arrived yesterday, and I want to get them in a box asap. No literature was provided with them, but not a big deal. I just need to know the displacement of these subs so I can figure my overall box size. I spoke with Mike via email and he recommended a .6 cu ft per sub sealed box. I'll be running 425w RMS to each, and they'll be down-fired under my rear bench of my crew cab truck. One thing I noticed was that the mounting surface is a bit different from what I'm used to. The mounting holes are covered with a rubber "ring." The holes through this ring appear to be the same diameter as the holes through the mounting surface of the basket. So my que…

Next to my RE6.5 Me Thx Mike

Saw a post somewhere saying that RL-i8's were available, or soon to be available. Whats the story?

Well let me explain my story. I had ordered SS RL-p 12s when they had first came out. I'm pretty sure it was Mike's first batch. Old cones. After a week of use, One subs surround started to come straight off of the cone. I had told mike about it and surely enough he replaced it with the next batch, the new aluminum cones no logo. Mike even paid for return shipping! Thanks Mike. Well surely enough about 6 months pass by, not any problems really. The aluminum cone's color has faded from pointing up in my hatch, access sunlight I'm guessing. Pretty ugly. And My Old cone 12 well, you guessed it, starts to come off the cone. It's been around 6+ months now, I've just been runni…

picked these up today for a decent price IMO and the bracing, box wil be for sale shortly(going ported ) if anyone has any ported box designs, please share them

I'm new to the SS product line and the SS forums so I'm sure this is a stupid question. I want to a single RL-p 12" for my wifes car and it would be great if I could use her old prefab box.So the big question is...... Will it work??? Here are the specs: 2.18 cubic feet tuned to 40 Hertz ports are 25.00 square inches. Thanks in advance!!!

So after 2 happy years with my rl-p 12" being powered by an elemental designs 900.1 my amp has chit the bed. I sent it back to elemental designs 2 times to be fixed for free and each time I got it back it worked for a while but the arrived at the same terrible fate. I am not tired of paying 20 dollars to ship it back to be "fixed" again, so I am in the market for a new amp. Here lies the Dilemma, I want to buy a multi channel amp to power a set of components and a set of 6x9s in the back as well as an amp for my rl-p 12 without going bankrupt or running 0 guage wire. The alpine pdx-5 was an appealing choice until i saw that it only pumps out 300 watts to the mono cha…

is that a new 10" rli, if so, is there gonna be new 12s or new rlps

I was just wondering if anyone has installed a RL-p 15 in a dodge quad cab? if not what others have worked for you? I am thinking of installing a Dvc 2 RL-p 15 under the back seat in a 2.2ft^3 sealed enclosure running off a Phoenix gold tantrum 1200.1 I have also tossed around the idea of installing a Dvc 4 Ri8 in a custom made .65ft^3 ported center seat console running of a phoenix gold tantrum 400.4. The 8 would be for everyday and the 15 would be for shows I would app. any input you may have. Thanks Chad

here is a link to a better vid of my rl-p on realm of excursion. This sub is moving its ass off!! Please tell me if you think i am pushin her too hard!!! thanks. Mike you should enjoy this. http://realmofexcursion.com/videos/SoundSplinter/rlp12.4.wmv

Hi, this is my first time posting on this forum, but have been viewing it for a while, so excuse any ignorance if any. A few weeks ago i was in the market for a single or pair of 15"s and was heavily considering sound splinter, but ended up getting a pair of 07 Orion HCCAS instead becuase of a great deal. However, i use my girl's car quite a bit too and would like a great system in it also. So my attention is on the Rl-S again. I would just like to know if this sub would be perfect for me and my listening tastes. I listen to mainly Dancehall reggae, soca and hip hop. I'm definately not an SQ fan, more so LSQ, i like looowww, ground shaking bass. The loudest previous syste…

I'm out to get the most from my pair of RL-p 15s. I am more than likely going to be acquiring a 1994 Explorer to replace my Cougar soon. Space is even more so, no longer an issue. I have around 800 - 1000 RMS on tap per 15. Depends on how proper the rating on my amp is. Currently, they are housed in 5.5 NET @ 33hz w/ 72in^ port area. I would like suggestions/personal experiences as to what would be louder. I personally would like to try 6.25 NET @ 32hz w/ 110in^2 port area. Thoughts/Random comments all welcome.

Does anyone have a working design for dual RL-i8's in a ported enclosure? I'm clueless when it comes to designing ported boxes, and the calculators over at CS.com have me baffled (excuse the pun). I'm looking for flat SQ output but with a deeper range than sealed. I love the T-Box, but I'd like to compare against something that doesn't take up half of my cargo space. Thanks, -J.

which amp would you guys reccomend to power my 12" soundsplinter rl-p d2 i was looking at the Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200.1 but then again i was looking at the Diamond Audio D61500.1 if anybody could lead me in the right direction to what amp would help my woofer sound great just shoot thanks in advance

I am about to pay for my RP-i 12 " sub so it can be shipped. I want to build a ported box and tune it to 25hz. I will be pushing 600wRMS to it. What size box would be best? Also feel free to offer any other suggestions. Thanks

My RL-p18 is arriving tomorrow, the box i am going to build will be 5.3ish cf tuned to probably 29hz. This will be a dual-2 model running off a Sundown SAZ1500 @ 1 ohm. Will 1500+ rms be o.k. for the RL-p in this size box? the box will have about 60 sq inches of port, will that be enough? btw, i used the RE box calculator to mess around with some designs. I have heard that their tuning is a little off, does anyone know about how much so i can compensate for it? sorry about all the questions, I just dont want to eff up the sub Thanks, Cody

Ok, after tearin apart my truck I found alot of space and it'd be a pity not to use it, so thinking ported on the rlp18's now instead of sealed. Wanted to see what people suggest. Mike says 5 at 27hz on the website, and has said 4 to 7 cubes in the stickied thread. While i see people talk about going in the 7 to 8ft range I'm thinking smaller might be where its at for me. I've got enough power (saz-3000) so I don't need a large box for efficiency reasons, I'm thinking I wouldn't need to tune that low either. I listen to mostly metal/rock and occasionally some oldschool hiphop, so I think these 18's will give me than enough lows for what I want no matter what. I might…

Ok, Im lazy and Im just copying what I wrote on another forum, but I cant help showing off my new RL-P's!!! I dont know if this is gonna get moved to ICE or not, but I decided to take a few pics of a new setup. I havent washed my car in like 3 Weeks - so excuse the filthyness of it Anyways, I got my new box installed along with my Eclipse Navi. Also Ive had my TWM in for awhile, but I figured somebody may be interested... My car - Filthy... TWM All Closed up Open Navi My Compustar 2-Way New Sub Setup... Thats it for now... I plan on cleaning everything up once it quits raining here in MT, but who knows when that will be, lol.

hello all, i figured i'd join this forum since it's the official SS one . my previous setup consisted of a 12" brahma in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 28 hz, power by a bridged fosgate power 451s amp. next setup will be this 15, in a 3.2 cubes box tuned to 28, powered by a arc audio 1500-xxk on to the pics! thanks again mike! the sub drawfs the ruler

I'm going to be running 4 Signature 12"s ported and the most I can muster up for each is 1.25 cubes ported to 33Hz with 500w to each. Is this going to be sufficient air space for them to function properly?

I have almost got my mind made up and I'm getting two RL-S 15's! They are going into a 1996 S10 extended cab. I have my eyes on a hifoincs colossus II amp to power them. I have talked to mike @ SS, and he thinks that I will be happy with that. I just would like more opinions on this. I can do a 9.3 cu enclosure. (thats the limit of the space I have to work with. As with the specs being a bit confusing, (I don't have any modeling software) I'm not sure about the enclosure type to go with. I would like the highest output I can get, while keeping the SQ somewhat decent. Once I get back from Iraq, I want to show one of my buddys up too. He has 4 Memphis M3 MOJO 15's in…

Greetings all! I'm back in action after my week long excursion to northeastern Europe and I see that the momentum around here has hardly slowed if at all, which I am happy to take as an indicator of the public satisfaction with the products I have offered to the online car audio community over the last year. To all of you whom have taken the admittedly risky plunge in purchasing from a newcomer to the market, I thank you! Also to those of you who have helped spread the word by telling your friends, or even simply by posting pictures of your system on the 'net, I can't thank you enough. So many of you have played an important role in helping get the SoundSplinter name…

Added this to my build log with a bunch of pics, but I thought the SoundSplinter fans need some fresh posts in here. eM28sy7Gj-8
