I bought an rlp 15 today. Mike is the man btw. I dont know what kind of amp I need. I have a clk and will be doing a 2.0 cft box I want club-type bass if that makes sense. I like rap and house music. I need an amp, and I think I want to do my front speakers as well because i have blose right now I have an avic d2 as my deck. what kind of tweets/midrange do I need? as affordable as possible, but I want them to be able to keep up with the bass. Pleaseeeee help me with your suggestions. thaaaank you

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.....

Who is coming to the bigg show?????

is there any news on the RL-i8's yet?

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'm writing this mini review to try and convince anyone who who might have the same reservations that i did, not to worry. I'm not real technical so this wont be very technical either. I was concerned about the output from a single 15". I mostly go for SQ, but on the rare occasion i put in a rap cd, i want that chit to get loud..while maintaining SQ. Ive also never owned a vented box, only sealed. So buying something based only on what people say on the net made me a little nervous. I decided to go for it and try a d4 15" in 3.5cf net @ 28hz in my gangster ass escort hatchback I am powering it with a PG xenon x200.4. Bridged down to 2 channels each VC gets a little o…

i went to my local alpine dealership to get my RL-p15 metered in my '93 Explorer and I managed to get 141.5dbs. my box is 2.5ft^3 @34Hz powered by a JL 1800d amp. I was being cautious though with my amp 1/2 power and the gains on the deck conservative. ive only had the sub for about month so i didnt want to risk something going wrong. the suprise was when i hooked up a single audiobahn AW1206T afterwards and hit a 138.6. it was in a 2.3 ft^3 @36Hz. i thought that was pretty decent for a $120ish sub. absolutely no competition in SQ though. RL-ps are something else. when i play System of a Down's "BYOB", it hit every single drum note. i'll try and post some pics of the se…

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

have any of you Ibed it at all?

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

Hey guys just looking for some opinions on this. Right now I have a JBL W15GTi in 6.5cuft @ 35Hz running off an Earthquake PHD5000 monoblock. I have a Sony MEX-BT5000 head unit and American Bass 0 gauge wire. So that's my system...anyways the point is I'm getting an 88 Chrysler LeBaron and somehow I just don't see my big box fitting in it. I don't really want to make a smaller box because I like the way it sounds now, plus I'd like to have some trunk space anyway. So this is where I thought of selling my JBL and buying 3 Soundsplinter RL-i 8's in 2 or 3 cubes tuned to 35 ish Hz? I think this would better suit the car and with the surface area of 3 8" cones I could have th…

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…

Well, right now they are housed in 5.5NET @ 37hz w/ 70in^2 port area. Not what I call an ideal box. They are loud, but not by my standards. New box will be had in less than a month 6 Cubes NET, 33hz, 91in^ port area and threaded rod bracing. The port velocity in the current box is ridiculous, blows harder than fudge, and has got to be hurting my output. Also I have serious flex issues, like the baffle actually has an xmax :-p. From what I've seen out of them thus far, I have a feeling that in about 1 month, I am going to be very, very loud.

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…

They will be in a sealed box with .65 cu ft net vol. What amps will do these bad boys justice??? I am a noob and I am just learning... Thanks

I first built this box about six months ago. But when I slid in the box, I noticed that the back seat wouldn

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

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

I just bought a 12" RL-s and need to begin to think about the box. I'm stuck between going sealed or ported. I think I want to do ported but if sealed is best for this driver, then so be it. If I do go ported, I'm thinking right now trying 3cuft tuned to 28hz and if I go sealed, I'm thinking around 2.5 cuft or so (going by SS recommendations). Is 28hz too low or should I go higher? Another question I can throw in here is for power. Single 3 ohm kinda sucks but can be dealt with. Right now I'm thinking about buying a JBL BPX1100.1 (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10482_JBL+BPX1100.1.html) or an older Orion 2500D which I think does somewhere around 1200rms at 3ohms. An…

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 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

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.

Well I have had my 2 15in RLP
