hotel california comes to mind.

yep, tune it to 28 Hz. my last setup with the brahma was in a ported box tuned to 28, and the low end is just sick. here's a vid if you're bored

very clean install

good question....i gotta make some calls. but SOON...i hope.

no no no

my rlp is dual 4, they didn't have the dual 2 when i placed my order

the amp isn't 2 ohm stable bridged, and i was kinda lazy to remove the sub to wire it into series for 8 ohm load. so i just stuck it on one channel. how can i run a Y on the rca? there's only one input on the amp.

some pics, excuse my messy trunk hehe. the amp is just there temporarily.

Yeah, I'll give a more detailed review after the Arc comes in. I can't wait... and CrushingCory...don't worry about it being able to keep up with fast beats... it'll reproduce them quickly and accurately.

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 much power, though I will be careful with the gains on the Arc amp. Initially I was worried that it won't be as accurate as my Brahma, but this sub hold its own very well. I played things ranging from classical, to Hotel California, to bass heavy southern rap, to quick techno/trance tracks. The RL-p is keeping up with the fast beats from DJ Irene, and can really dish out the low stuff in Lil Jon. I don't think anything was sitting still in my car when I have the volume on my Kenwood deck past level 16. Bass lines are smooth in Paul Mauriat's "Love is Blue", as well as other classical tracks. I will give a more detailed review once I get my Arc amp. Pics will follow as well (my uncle borrowed my digi cam.) But so far...this sub absolutely rocks! I miss my Brahma, but have now found a worthy candidate to fulfill my bassy needs. Thanks again Mike for a kickass product.

any issues with the surround hitting the grill during large excursions?

man, after reading this...i'm even more anxious to get my 15 RL-p in. thanks for the review! after finished reading it...found myself smiling like an idiot

you're not going to get tigher bass than a sealed box. ported box will be louder though.

too many factors...power, enclosure design, vehicle type...

ah, didn't know they came unpainted as well.

I'd be careful though. Most car waxes have a slight amount of rubbing compound embedded in the paste/liquid. I don't know how thick the paint is on the RL-p, but the idea does seem good. With a good layer of wax...crap won't stick to it as easly.

i was advised by Mike not to use rubbing alcohol...

yep, armorall did the trick. got all my friend's oily prints off my rlp. on a sad note though...my mom threw a hat onto my sub, and the damn metal buckle thingy to adjust the size of the hat...hit the cone. there's a little scratch on it now

ah ok, I will try ArmorAll then. Thanks Mike.

great...my friend left buncha fingerprints on the cone... is it ok if i use rubbing alcohol to get it off? water is not doing it...but i don't want to discolor the metal

3.2 cu ft tuned to 28

thanks, hopefully the sub will be installed this week...weather permitting.

hope it sounds good...can't wait to install everything

yeah, it slipped my mind. by the time i realized, the sub was already in transit to my area. ah well, it's no biggie. as long as it performs well i'm content you a member over at CA.com? your name looks familiar.

hello all, i figured i'd join this forum since it's the official SS one . my previous setup consisted of a 12" brahma in a 2.5 cu ft box tuned to 28 hz, power by a bridged fosgate power 451s amp. next setup will be this 15, in a 3.2 cubes box tuned to 28, powered by a arc audio 1500-xxk on to the pics! thanks again mike! the sub drawfs the ruler
