Posted February 11, 200520 yr Hello everyone! Finally snapped some shots of our RL-i8 prototype driver. The finished product will carry a small centered logo. This driver will be one of the beefiest "little" eights out there, optimized for tiny enclosures driven with 175-500wrms. As we get closer to the final launch date for this 8 incher, more information will become available.. but for now, without further ado, the new RL-i series 8" driver from SoundSplinter :ph34r: .. B)
February 11, 200520 yr that is the sweetness!!!no 4 spoke basket eh??hmmmm...i need to email u..lol...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr Admin holy crap, Mike will you take pre-orders? if so Kent, Steve, and I want to order asap
February 11, 200520 yr looky..the 8's are so kewl..mark is in here!!!mike..ygpm!!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr Author holy crap, Mike will you take pre-orders? I'm just not a fan of the whole pre-order thing. Maybe some day down the line, but for now (maybe 'cause I'm new to this?), I just don't want to get people's hopes up when it may take longer than expected to get the fully finished product shipped... and then there'll be a whole bunch of people that may either be impatient or just downright pissed off at any unforeseen delays - so, I'm only gonna sell when I have something to sell However, I'll certainly give you all first crack when they are available (thinkin' late March).
February 11, 200520 yr Author > Price ? ( not shure if it was listed before )Not going to release the price quite yet. Still working on it, but to give you a ballpark range, it will be more than $100 but less than $200 per driver (including price breaks for 2+ drivers)
February 11, 200520 yr A subwoofer, eh.Could this subwoofer be coupled well with a pair of horns for midbass/midrange duties? IE: Do the same as the Koda8.If not, a pair would work well for me under a seat, or even HT.

February 11, 200520 yr ... Awesome.I've been looking to replace the 6.5's and 8's up front with a single 8" on either side. Hopefully your testing goes well
February 11, 200520 yr a single RL-i 8 inverted would be sweet steve-owhat an idea..loli might just have to invert a pair...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr So if they're dual 4 ...Hmmm ... *ponders the idea of an 1150 watt midbass setup* ...
February 11, 200520 yr Mike, those are beautiful!! If the performance matches the asthetics, you'll have a little beast on your hands. Man, if I had a use for 8s, I'd get some. This move is killing me. I can't stand having to SAVE money vs. spending it.
February 11, 200520 yr Admin So if they're dual 4 ...Hmmm ... *ponders the idea of an 1150 watt midbass setup* ... side note, I was just pimping SoundSplinter in 3 thread on OT.commassive exposure right there, seeing that it is the 5th in traffic in the world for forums
February 11, 200520 yr So if they're dual 4 ...Hmmm ... *ponders the idea of an 1150 watt midbass setup* ... do it..do it..do it!!!!!!!u don't have a hair one on ur ass if u don't!!!lol*edit* hate to break hearts..but i have dibs on the first two available...neeneerneeeneerneeneer!!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
February 11, 200520 yr Sweet!!!!Steve stole my question.....I was praying these would be able to do midbass/midrange duty (up to ~800hz would be sweet). I may just have to pick up two and find out when they are released
February 11, 200520 yr I'm not sure on the exact spec's of the TC Custom 8", but by the looks of the images you linked, the motor/magnet structure will be larger on the SoundSplinters.. Performance-wise, our RL-i8 will be most similar to the Eclipse 8" drivers that are no longer commercially available.The RL-i8 will be available in 4ohm dual voice coil only.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Alright. I didn
