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.

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…

Picking up some 12" LMS 4K's (have one now, the other should be along this week). Just wondering I know they seem to use the same style motor/basket/surround and svc LMS 3 ohm coil. Looking for some input on real world application from someone who has done some testing in differnt alignment boxes with this style driver.

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

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…

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

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.

Hey y'all, I'm new to this forum, so I apologize if this topic is already covered elsewhere. I currently have my RL-i8 installed in a modified tube enclosure. I am wanting to put in something nice, and so am looking for recommendations for a high quality sealed box. Does anyone know of any good brands to look into? I'm looking to save trunk space, but give the sub a nice box. I'd appreciate the help.

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…

I got the sub metered this weekend at a show. The mic was a TL, legal, on the dash, windows, doors, etc, close. 149.0 peak, 148.4 average, tones. With music it did a 147.6. Not to bad for a SQ orientated sub.

Hi again Mike..... The first thing I want to mention is I don't see any posts in regards to your drivers being used in the home theater market. Most or all of the posts are for autos and SUV's. Are you selling many for home use yet? If so, I guess they aren't posting in the forums. It's been a while since I've visited your forum. My subwoofer is still performing flawlessly! My system has become such a hit that folks with new music and movie DVD's are coming out of the woodwork to come over to view them for the first time on my system. It wouldn't be complete without your subs.... As you might remember, I'm running two of your RLP 15" in a single box which has the r…

Well after some delay in trying to figure out the proper enclosure size for my RL-p 15, it's finally in. Thanks again Mike for putting up with all my emails . It's in a 2.0 net sealed box, temporarily being powered by my Fosgate Power 451S amp. The sub is getting ~230 watts (not much eh?) It will soon be mated to an Arc Audio 1500-XXK. This setup replaced my previous 12" Brahma in a 2.5 cu ft box, tuned to 28 hz. Now onto the review! Only got to listen to the sub for 5 hours or so today. But from what I'm hearing already...I'm VERY content with my purchase! This thing can get pretty loud with only 230 watts. I can only imagine how it'll sound with almost 4 times as mu…

not to impressed right now lol still works but sounds HORRIBLE, the 1 on the left is a few months old and the other is like 7-8months old...anyone know if Mike would do anything for warrenty? im hoping the guy i bought them from has a receipt or im probably SOL also anyone find it odd that only 1 sub is screwed? there wired together @1ohm so you would think both would look the same

OK... Buddy wanted to buy my RLp-12 and 'try it out' before paying up. He neglected to adjust gains and crossover on his amp, much to my chagrin, and burned up the voice coils. Apparently his head unit did not have a sub RCA pre-out, so he used the rear RCA pre-outs, which was sending full range to the subwoofer amp. Additionally the gains were turned all the way up (he has some Audiobahn 1000w RMS amp) and the crossover was wide open. So, after connecting the amp he popped in a CD and proceeded to send a full range signal at max gain the RLp-12 for about 30-45 seconds. The result: burned voice coils and the sub seized What are my options to get this guy repaired? M…

I wanted to get this amp but will it give sufficient head room for the sub. I know that sundown amps are awesome which is why i want one but some people say you need a little more power on the amp than what the sub needs. The sub will be ported to which mike recommends only 800 watts to it (I think). That will give an extra 200 watts in solitude until called upon during spikes in bass lines. Is that enough or do i need more? I want this one because its cheaper than the 1500d. Any suggestions and confirmations will be greatly appreciated.

click here for the new otherstuff section don't forget to click the customer installs...lol, shameless plug coming...as i have the first one listed..hehe make sure ya checkit out!! and if ya got SS stuff...send pics to mike..post it here(showoff section or here) and let mike know it's ok to throw them up at his site! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

too lazy to paint or carpet the box, but supa_c spraypainted the port haha. All in all it came out decent...had a couple air leaks in the face and i was too lazy to take the subs back out and seal from the inside so I glued some spots from the exterior...then i realized i should have just added a couple extra screws on top lol. 3.0 ft^3 net ~34hz. and i get to say i met mike from SS! who else can say that? i wanted the logoless + sig but he was out of the logoless, but the anodized cones w/ logos were my 2nd choice. i haven't had extensive playing time with these babies yet, but they are quite the impressive drivers. i've only listened to rap and stuff like that so …

Are there any plans for a new rl-i8, or even to start production of the old one? I know i'm not the only person interested in this information as i see lots of people inquire about them on the different forums. -v

I have a lincoln navigator and want to have some nice loud subs that hit hard. How would two of the rl-s12's be? And also would a kicker 1500 for each sub be enough to power it?? Suggestions or comments please! thanks.

Like the title asks; Is an Alpine PDX1.1000 powerfull enough to run an RL-S15. Anyone ever try this combo?

alright, i ordered my rlp 15, dvc 4 ohm...def looking forward to it...its going to powered by a MTX 801D...800 rms, in a 5th gen civic coupe...i've build about a dozen boxes before but only done sealed...only lately i've been aquainted with winisd and other port determining programs...so i want to build my first ported box... max outter lenght = 34.5" - pretty much written in stone max outter height = 15.5" - pretty much written in stone max outter width = up to 23 inches on bottom, 19 on top, this is a wedge box... - can be (shorter) smaller, not written in blood max outside cube = 6.49 cubes ********|-----------\ sub is***|*********\ facing***|**********\ this side*…

Hey all i was thinkin about doin a bandpass for my RL-p. would be an interesting project, having the bass ported directly into the cabin through my first aid kit hole. Mr. Coleman said it would be the best bet so i wont lose any of the bass in the trunk space (or something like that). What are yall opinions on that?

I'm in the process of attempting to prepare an RL-P18 for a recone but I am having some difficulty with the glue holding the surround and spider down. Really what I'm looking for are tips as to how to get it off, or the best solvents to use.
