SoundSplinter

Box is finished, sub is here, but still trying to decide on the amp. So help me out! 1) Kicker KX600.1....2)Phoenix Gold Xenon 600.1.... 3)Diamond Audio D3 600.1. I'm also trying to sell my JBL 600.1 for 150 shipped if anyone is interested!

okay, my e1800d input sensitivity is set @ about 60% now (1o clock position) and when i turn my vol up (20 of 34) it doesnt seem to show a lot of excursion, maybe an inch total. this is also with the EQ on my HU on "xplod" (sony). (MY 40A FUSE HELD AT THIS VOLUME) now i wanted to ask before i fool around with my input sens. because i do not want to blow my sub. i know my RCAs are rated @ 2V, but im not too sure how much its too much on my amp.

ok, i just finished tom's (TLM) ported enclosure for his future purchase of an rl-i8. in the meantime he said i could plug mine into it for playaround time. box specs are as follows, 1ft^3 tuned to 34hz with one 3" round port. was going to be .75ft^3 with one 4" port, but i couldn't fit the port inside the box..lol....anyway... power is supplied by an orion 2500d. at 8ohms. i have no clue as to the power it's getting, but i'd say at least 500wrms. and wow, can this thing go low for an 8! it gets low enough it knocked the terminal cup out of the back of the box, so i glued it...knocked it out again, made larger hole for more glue..knocked it out again. so i've got to go ge…

well, i used to have a pair of the RL-i 8s, i wanted to know how the orphan 8's compared to the RL-i's, i was thinking about getting 3 of them, but not sure if they would get as low, pound as hard, get as loud and sound as clean as the RL-i's.

I am aware that the SS rl-s utilizes TCsounds LMS system, but I am not sure if the Rl-p series does as well. Anybody have the knowledge here?

Does anyone know when the RL-i8s with DVC will back in stock. I went to buy 1 and it says not avaliable. Thanks, MJ Why an 8 I just have to have one of those bad boys.

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.....

http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.p...highlight=rl-i8 Sorry for the post link. I can't find the pics of my enclosure at the moment.

Does anyone know of someone who builds an enclosure for 2 RL-s12's 2x2.5 cu ft. each sealed ? I'm extremly tool challenged.

Hey whats up everyone im new to the forums and just wanted to say whats up, and help me with my decision please.. For the last little while ive been deciding on a system and just recently someone recommended ss subs....Ive been doing nonstop research on these subs, to find out whats the deal, and they are obviously no joke....Either way ill get down to it, heres what else i will be running not includding sub(s) and amp Pioneer preimere deh-P670MP edit now: Pioneer DEH-P80MP Pheonix Gold Ti5Comp Elites Orion 8002(refurbished) or Orion 8004(new) Opinions on these are welcome. KnuKonceptz wiring Now the part I want all the oppinions on..(If it helps i listen to mainly rap, …

Just wanted to say thanks for the sub. Your customer service is outstanding, fast shipping with great care, very helpful and very knowlegable. Will contact you later for more soundsplinter goodies. thanks Aloha Myron

So I pulled my Rl-p15 out of it's home and lo-and-behold there is a bit of surface rust on the backplate. What I want to know is, would there be any harm in taking it off with some Scotchbrite and then maybe wiping it down with some WD40 on a soft cloth? Obviously I would take precautions so as not to introduce any FOD in to the vent/VC area. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering where is SoundSplinter located and if it is possible to pick up a sub in person to save on shipping costs. Also, I have an '01 Accord sedan and I'm thinking of going with a single RL-p 18" driver. It will be pushed by a DLS A6 at 1 ohm (1200w). Is it better to go sealed or ported? I just took out my DD 9515 and the enclosure for that is 5.5 cubes net I believe. I really want to get loud when needed. I did a 140.4 recently with a Kicker ZX 2500.1 so I'm looking to get into the 140's with the RL-p on the A6. Is it possible? Comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I'm either gonna use the RL-p 18 or a 12" Brahma MKI. Brahma will be gettin same power …

I am posting this hear rather than the amplifier section on the team ssa forums, simply because there are more SS users right here If this should be moved, thats np at all. What I need is an amp to power my single RL-p 12" D2. So im looking at 1 ohm and 4 ohms. for budget it would reeally be nice not to be broke after, and have to save up for weeks again to get some comps. Things like the eD 9.1 for 350 is probably the highest I want to go. and I know that there is a lot of hifonics things that can do the job. at the same time I have heard alot of nasty stories about em. This is my first system.. and can upgrade later, just want to get the ball rolling on it. Any a…

At first i only want to clean it, but i got overboard and here's what it come out to be, one shiny backplate (for some reason the flat bottom won't go shine), only use my hand and some polishing product . The beast just get sexier. As i'm mounting the sub inverted, i think this is a good outcome PS: Mike can u make the Terminal hole bigger??!!!, it's a PITA when u trying to insert two 12ga wire (paralel wiring), i like to hide my wire as much as possible .

Ok i have an rl-p15 run off a 9.1 at 2ohms. What is the recommended size for a sealed box when giving it 800 watts. I have it in a 2.5 cu.ft right now and i think it could sound a little better. im looking for some more sq b/c it gets really loud and low.

I set out to look for two and look like i may wind up with 3 after i am done. anyone looking for one let me know.

would it be silly to put some clear nail polish on it to protect it do it does not fade or protect it from scratches? just a silly thought

well ive got a 12W7 right now, and im looking for a change. i just want to be louder, and i can afford to loose some SQ (current #'s with the W7 are a 144.1 @ 38 hz, and a 144.6 @ 43 hz.) ive got it narrowed down to a few diff subs im lookin @ a pair of SS RLp 15's being one of them now...i know rl-ps are not SPL drivers @ all, but i just wanna beat that w7 score by a few numbers. will this setup get the job done? also...what are the reccomended box sizes for the 15's? i know the spec on the website, but i was looking for actualy owner input. thanks much

So I've read that rather lengthly post over at SIN regarding some of the misconceptions regarding moving mass in relation to sound quality. For the most part the article mentioned that inductance is a far better indicator of potential sound quality than moving mass. (My understanding of inductance being the amount of power that is stored in the vc before it actually uses it) therefor lower number of inductance should indicate superior performance. With this said, how does the RL-P stand up (keep in mind this isn't a bashing post, I've had an RL-P since march and I love it) and what is the difference between lossy inductance and (the other one). The RL-P's inductance numbe…

can anyone give me ideas on a box design for a rlp 18. its for a suv , sub up and port back. i have room for around 7cubes. want it tuned low. or if anyone has suggestions on how they are running their 18's. port area,freq,power or anything would help

Dear all, This is the first time, am sending a post so this is similar to a test. I am interested in buying the lil' monsters RL-i8s. Would it be possible to wire 1 Dual 4 ohm to a Single 4 ohm woofer? To make like a 3 ohm load or something I know it is stupid since the specs aren't the same for the two versions but you never know. Thanx a lot guyz. Kelvin

I continue to go back and forth with which box size and tuning frequency to go with for my new box I am building. I was hoping to get some opinions from any and all of you that have had experiences with the Rl-p 12 D4. Right now I am torn between going with a bigger box size of around 2.5 cubes and tuning it @ 28 or 29........ or going with a box a bit smaller, in the 2.0 - 2.25 ramge tuned @ 30 or 32 Hz. Anybody have any suggestions or opinions for me......PLEASE!!!! This will be going in a Tahoe and my listening habits are mainly rap with a little bitt of rock and alternative mixed it...... but I would say at least 90% rap. Not sure if that matters, but I figured I…

What would be the smallest vented/ported box for a Rl-i12 ?Have had it sitting around for a while collecting dust want to stick in my truck .Dont know if i have enough room to go vented .
