I have an amplifier that is rated 400 watts RMS @ 2ohms.

I also have a 1.8 cu ft vented enclosure tuned to 30 hz.

Is this a good match for a 12" RL-p or would I need more power? I saw that this sub is rated between 500-1000wrms.

Thanks

That is plenty of power. No need to run 1200 to it like most do.

I ran 600w to my rlp-12 in a sealed box and it was plenty. I'd think 400w in a ported setup would do good.

thanks guys

how reliable is winISD?

I was graphing this sub and it does well in the 30-40 hz range, but above that it drops (with my setup).

my other options:

JL 12W3

JL 12W6

Kicker CVX

I want low bass with authority. Especially in the 30-50 hz region. But I want it to sound good as well.

As far as some people say, winisd isn't reliable. And it's even worse with the rl-p.

I would follow Mike's or other user's recomendations

yeah, winisd is weird for the RL-P. 1.8 at 30 is a great enclosure. I have had mine at 1.6 low 30's, and 2.0 at 28, and both sounded great.
