SoundSplinter

First off, I'd like to express my most sincere thanks to denim and mrray13 for their support and assistance in getting this forum setup! The SSAudio community has shown itself to be friendly and informative, and I believe, the perfect home for SoundSplinter's online forum. That being said, allow me to tell you a little bit about myself. Name's Mike and I've always been a huge fan of music, both as a happy listener as well as a performer for my own personal enjoyment. I grew up on many years of formal keyboard/piano instruction but have since moved towards teaching myself the guitar as I have fallen in love with its portability and versatility. Having such a close co…

How much power can these subs take daily in recommended sized ported enclosure with ideal electrical.

I am wanting to buy a couple of RL-i10's I will be using a Phoenix Gold zx400ti amp here are the specs for the amp: Into 4 ohms Stereo @ 12.5 Vdc (IASCA/USAC) 37 x 2 Into 4 ohms Stereo @ 14.4 Vdc 100 x 2 Into 2 ohms Stereo @ 14.4 Vdc 200 x 2 Into 4 ohms Bridged @ 14.4 Vdc 400 x 1 Minimum Speaker Load, Bridged 2 ohms Minimum Speaker Load, Stereo 1 ohm Do you think that this amp will be able to supply the subs enough power to sound great?? thanks for the help.

i have this amp to power my rl-i10 : http://highlite.omc.net/index.php/highlite...s/p_500_vintage. do you think it would be a good match with the sub ? my system plays 90% of the time only music. i watch movies very rarely...

hey i was just wondering how many watts rms the "Ultimate Competition series" is gonna be? and around how much is the sub gonna be??? have u guys decided any of this yet?

so i've had interest in the RL-Ps for a while now, right? I figured for the 18s I want to put in my cherokee it'd be best to use something that everyone doesnt talk about. i've seen a couple videos of the 18s in question on youtube, and they appear to be some nice drivers, so, I am curious about em. I mean I would go with the flow like everyone else and get a Fi BTL, but, too many people use em, right? well, enough of my babbling, some questions for ya. First off, what amp would you recommend for 2 18" RL-Ps? (im trying to stay cheap, but not too cheap, basically, trying to spend under 800 for an amp) Second off following the top question being amps, What would you recomm…

alright so.. i've been saving up money for almost half a year now and i really wanna get a good set for my car but the thing is, i have no idea what parts i should buy that best suites my car i drive a 2004 acura tsx i've been hearing from my friends that i should go w/ sound spinters so, i am but the thing is.. what do i all need? i have no experience w/ subs or anything of that matter so far.. i'm considering getting two 10"s? good or bad choice? but i heard the 8"s were badass. and that's as far as i've thought of no idea of what amp, or if my car can even use the subs w/out changing my deck anybody know any info that can help me out?

Has anyone gotten their rlp18s metered yet?

This was a recommendation for the RL-p 12 on another site. I was just curious what everyone thought. For SQ purposes, try this: 1.2CF net (.6CF per driver), tuned at 24Hz, 22.5 ~ 25 square inches of port area. The problem is going to be vent length (causing the enclosure to be quite large), but it should sound extremely good if implemented properly. These drivers are best suited for low-tuned vented apps. They will work sealed, but if you can make this enclosure work, I think you will be pleased with the boost in overall output while maintaining excellent SQ and extension. The driver has an extremely strong motor. It doesn't need a very large enclosure at all, especia…

Im building a box to fit in the middle seat of a dodge ram so this is what I could do 1 12" RL-p sealed in a 1.5 cuft box or 2 12's in .70 cuft stuffed with pollyfill. If I used 2 12's they would both get 750 watts. These box sizes are after sub displacement. What would you guys do.

Hi guys. I'm getting ready to install a 12" RL-P in my Denali. I have a directed 1100d, the sub is 2 ohms. I will be running it at 1 ohm, so I guess about 1100w rms give or take. Anyway, what's the ideal box size for a sealed enclosure for 1 12" . Space isn't a huge issue, however I would like to keep the cargo area of the suv useful. Thanks, Austin

Hi all, I am in the market for a system and have decided on Soundsplinter...Here's is my dilemma: Car will be 2002 Honda Accord Coupe, and here is what I have planned: HU: Pioneer DEHP9600 $400 Front: Rainbow SLC Kickbass 6.5" Comp 280 Rear Fill: some decent 6x9 100 4-ch amp: PG Xenon 100x4 (100wx4 @ 4 ohm) 300 Sub amp: Kicker zx750.1 300 Sub: Soundsplinter I was gonna go with 1 12" Rl-p w~ 750W after reading many positive reviews from caraudio forum. I want clean, tight, distortion free bass with decent output (used to have a…

I have one of each (amp & sub stated in the title), and I'm trying to figure out which amp/sub combo would be best. The 18" will be in a ported box. 5.2 net tuned to 34hz, and the 15" will be 3.4 net tuned to 34hz as well. What's your take on this? Thx, Vic.

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

today after carpeting my box, i hooked up my multimeter to wire coming from the box. the speakers are wired in what should be a 1 ohm load. exactly the same as the fosgate diagram, except that my + and - from the amp are not both to opposite coils of the same speaker, the + goes to one speaker, and the - goes to the other speaker. what gives? i never did check it before so i dont know if i've been running 1.5 ohms since i hooked it up or not.

I'm trying to understand ported boxes and trying to find somthing i'll like for my 12" RL-p D2 thats powered with 600watts. What would be the difference between a ported box that is 1.75@32hz VS one that is 2.0@27hz? or one that is even at 2.0@32hz? Which one would u go for? I'm confused with box size and tuning freq. Thanks for any help you may give

when wireing my voice coils together,i couldnt get 2 sets of 10 guage in the one side? so i went with 12 throughout? any one got any good ideas about how to wire a rl-p 12 dvc with 10 guage? -me

What would be the best setup for under rear seat of Dodge ram quad cab box@ about 1.8 ft^3 ? Want it to get loud but still sound good. Any suggestions would be appriciated. One Rlp 12" seald Two Rli 10" ported Two Rli 8" ported

just wonderin if a 15 rl-p would be better (than the 12) or too much in a 4 door car with a trunk? (mazda 626) definately gonna git an rl-p asap but a 12 or a 15? LSQ definately my goal with the empasis on sq.same 600 wrms.

In a 1.5^3 sealed box with about 700 watts going to each sub which one one do you think will be louder SE or RL-p. Which would have Better SQ?

i just got done talking with Mike and he let me in on a few things that he has lying around. limited quanities for sure, so get them while you can. 12" RL-i drivers. dual 4 versions, $180 plus shipping. he has 3 or 4 left Overstock 8" drivers. yes, 8" drivers. similiar to the vaunted RL-i 8, here's the specs, Qts - 0.405 Qes - 0.442 Qms - 4.778 Fs - 34.289 Hz Re - 5.25 Ohm Ls - 12.16mH Lp - 4.053 mH Rp - 25.46 Ohm Vas - 5.031 L Mms - 214.1 g Cms - 100.6 m/N Bl - 23.39 T*m Sensitivity - 78.44 dB ~17mm Xmax The 8's are built on the TC2+ motor, and the only appreciable differences between the RL-i8 and the Overstock 8 are the use of a paper/kevlar composite cone (no logo),…

Hey, i am looking to get a 12" RL-P, and the site has been down for awhile. Does anyone have the T/s for the one with the black cone? I think it is a 2005 model. Thanks! Should 1.65 net ported at around 33 be good?

would one 12 RLP take 2 10w3v2?

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
