Are these available in Dual 2-Ohm coils? If so, I'm going to be ordering one instantly. If not, I'm gonna need to find something else

I live in TRAVERSE CITY, MICHIGAN, up north near the bridge to the UP, any one in michigan REMOTLY close wana drive to see me, talk, show of the system, and let me here there rk-p's? I hear alot about em but i wana hear them for my self.

my speakers are wired together at 1 ohm, and they've never been hooked up independently. just one of them will pop if i play really heavy bass and turn it up, when it reaches full excursion, but the other one never does. i've been using my deck boost at +5, turned up to 26/35, with the amp up all the way and amp bass boost off. if i was giving them too much power, shouldnt they both be popping? i dont know if it was doing it when i first hooked it up, i hadnt played it at full volume with the hatch open until today. it isnt noticeable if im inside the car, the bass overwhelms it. i've been keeping my deck turned down to 23-25 so that it doesnt do it, but id like to be abl…

what frequency should i tune a 12" rlp in 1.5 cubes off 1200 watts i want the best mix of sq and spl

Before hand i had a 12 Infinity Perfect running off of a JL Audio 250/1, then upgraded to an RL-P Dual 2 ohm with a Nine.1 as the amp. Box is a subzone prefab 1.03 cu ft sealed box before driver displacement. The sound quality is phenomal, but the output so far is a complete joke. It has no more SPL than my Perfect did, and if i attempt to turn the HU volume or gain up, the sub begins to clip and bottom out. It also moves an incredible amount, and doesn't seem to be putting out output anywhere close to where it should be by the looks of how much it is moving. Are my problems all in my box, or does it sound like i have something else going on? We used a Volt-meter and…

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.

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…

hey guys i intend on building 2 boxes one sealed @ 14x14x17.5 (4sure measurments) and one ported 30Wx13.5Hx14.5D giving me 2cf @ 34Hz (sound good) and is there a difference bewteen the slot port and the round port with this sub

i've got 2 rl-p's with 1.3 ft^3 each, maybe a few hundredths of a foot less. i put in about 30 or 35 oz of polyfill. i just kind of stuffed it in there whole. am i supposed to tear off smaller pieces before packing it? is 30-35 oz about the right amount? thats net volume, speakers factored in. might be as little as 1.2 net, i never worked the exact numbers for the final dimensions i went with.

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.

Ok this might be a little long but here goes. I finally put in my RL-P 15. The enclosure it went into was a 2.0 cubes sealed afer displacement.. This sub is also being powered by a crossfire vr1000d at 2 ohms putting out about 500-600 watts. I set my gains with a MM and then proceded to go ahead with testing. I went on a 1.5 hour drive, and basicly went crazy with the MP3s. I am going to start off by saying this driver is completely amazing, everything I threw at it was down right accurate and loud. I started off with some rap, tracks like Trick Daddy - Let's Go, Trick Daddy - Sugar, Lil' Jon - various tracks, and Busta Rymes - Put Your Hands, St. Lunatics - Midwest Swing…

My Planet Audio T2250D came today, and its purdy. Got it installed and wangin :-D. These babies are pretty damn loud. I have to upgrade my wiring for sure. I've got near 200amps of current draw through 15foot of 4 guage wire, that is chit down to 8 guage wire for another foot to the amp. Ground is all 8 guage. Big 3 hasn't been done yet. 130 amp alt. I figure once I get all the electrical done, I can crank it a tad more, get even louder. As it is now, its NICE. The box is not near braced enough. I'm planning a new box. 5.5 Cubes NET @ 32hz w/ 100in^2 port area and threaded rod bracing. IMO, 30 - 35in^2 port area isn't enough when talking about the kind of power …

should be hooking up my rl-ps and having a listen tomorrow after work. i played them with no box when i first got them just to make sure they worked and all since one of the boxes came kind of bashed up. started turning up my nine.1, and they just werent moving much so i ended up turning it up all the way. i realize itll be different in a box, but just want to know whats what before i starting breaking stuff. i have a +18 bass boost on the amp, and i can turn the sub from -10 to +10 on my top of the line kenwood excelon x979 deck. i believe they are either 4.5 or 5 volt preamp outs. i think im going to want a bit more than the amp up all the way. i'll be better off turnin…

Just put in my 12" Rl-p it pounds. But what settings should I set my amplifer to? Alpine MRD-M605 600WRMS x 1 @ 2ohms 1.21 cu. ft. internal volume Here are the settings that are available, as per the user manual: Crossover Frequency Adjustment Knob Permits adjustment of the crossover frequency, by rotating the knob to select any frequency between 30 to 200 Hz as the crossover point. 9 Lowpass Filter Slope Selector Switch The Lowpass Filter slope can be set for either 12dB/oct. or 24dB/oct.. it does sound very nice, but i was hoping the bass would be tighter. so im thinking about getting a ported box from circuit city or something just to see how it sounds. any recomendati…

Everything I have heard about these subs so far has been positive. I want to give them a go in my new setup, but I might have a problem. Tell me what you think. I have a regular cab 1999 F-150 so I am limited on space. With the area I have to work with I can build a box that has an internal volume of just under .83 ft^3. Im not sure how much of that is taken up by the sub itself. Do I need more airspace or is this enough? I prefer SQ to SPL so I was planning on building a sealed enclosure, but am open to a vented enclosure if the sound would be better overall. I will most likely be using a Mono Block Memphis amp pushing around 500W @ 2ohms if that helps any. Thanks i…

Anyone have any resources for getting a 34hz ported box? (this was the recommended ported box enclosure as per soundsplinter's website). I was actually going to build my own, I have before. Just have to buy wood, screws, and wood glue. However, I do not know the dimensions/layout in order to make it 34hz. There aren't really on ebay that are this spec either. Most are either 30hz or 38hz. Will this suffice? or will it sound weird? Anyone willing to help me out? thanks

would one 12 RLP take 2 10w3v2?

just asking out of curiousity. im still debating what freq. i should port mine to, granted i listen to pretty much everything. 1) driver size 2) net ft^3 box @ __Hz 3) type of music you listen to 4) extra comments about the set up

(2) RL-p 15s sharing 400 RMS (5.5 NET @ 33hz) vs (2) RE RE 12s sharing 400 RMS (3.8 NET @ 35hz) Any guesses, bets, or wagers as to who will come out on top? This test will be performed by ear -- no meter used. So it may be an unnoticable change. New amp won't be here until next week, so I figured I would have some fun and put together a handicap match. Ding Ding Ding!!!! ROUND ONE

As most of us know the RL-i 8 is not avaliable anymore. It is being revamped by Mike to be made that much better. So far, all i know about the new RL-i 8 is the surround will be changed to something softer, yes, no more high rol. As well as a different spider. But what about that cone ????? I love the spun black aluminum on all the other woofers. The old RL-i 8 used the not so nice painted aluminum cone. Any chance in getting the new one to have that sweet spun blacK aluminum ?

Ok, quick history...the blazer I am fixin to buy from my friend has a box the we (he & I) built about 9 years ago in it. It is an iso. enclosure with 2-jl 10's. I like the box because it takes up minimal space in the back of the s10 blazer. He has an old alpine v12 (like the first ones that came out) running the 2 jl's, and it hits crazy hard. SO, since I dont want no stinkn 9 year old jl's, I am gonna sell the rl-p12, and get 2 rl-i 10's. I would like to re-build that enclosure, but, would the rl-i's dig it? (using the rl-i specs of course) Powerd by the mcd1000d Opinions....

I know that this new RL-p setup has got to be loud. I know it will be. In the back of my mind I can't quit thinking, oh my gosh what if it isn't?? I keep thinking that a small box woofer doesn't lend itself to getting too loud. I'm coming from a 15" Ascendant Audio Atlas in 4.8NET @ 31hz. What I am wanting out of this setup is the following.... Twice as loud as the Atlas. More authority in the 60-80hz region, where the atlas lacked. By the numbers, it should be at least twice as loud, but I keep thining...its audio, chit doesn't always happen how formulas say, I may be dissapointed. I've got twice the cone area, 6mm more linear excursion, and the output advantage of not…

well my car is now satisfying all the time, from a standing start i can set volume to a nice sexy pleasing level-on anything! and start journey, sound is fantastic all the way up to about 60mph where road noise etc dictates a slight tweak of the volume, but other than that i can set volume and have no loss of sq between 0 and 60! my home audio is equally as pleasing? so what do i do now? ? ?

if i bought a 12" rlp, and fed it at least 500 watts, what would the difference be between a 1.5 cube ported box vs a 2.0 cube ported box

someone asked how to remove fingerprints off the RLP, what was the answer to that ?
