Posted January 17, 200916 yr hey guys, ive been lookin into a rd designs 5250 just wondering if they were a strong amp.. thanks!
January 18, 200916 yr Admin Can you give us more details on your goals, budget, what the amp will be powering, and what else you are looking at?
January 19, 200916 yr Author i will be running 2x cascade omega 18s and will have 2x kinetik 2400s off of a 200 amp alty.. my budget is under a 1000. I have been trying to sell my system I have now but no1 wants it
January 20, 200916 yr Admin What is wrong with your current system?Also, is this for SPL competition? Plus I would suggest looking into Fi or IA or Sundown drivers for high output 18's. Not to mention the big Sundown amp is on sale.
January 20, 200916 yr Don't try any warranty claims with RD as well.. its more of a TCAB situation (take cash and bail).The Omega's look nice.. but they're still unproven as good woofers, both in the competition circuit and in daily drivers. They're slapped together parts from PAP.
January 21, 200916 yr Author my current sub is blown lol and my amp isnt big enough im currently running a memphis mojo 2500 and a fully loaded btl 18 and thanks for the input i havent gotten much help from anyone else :/
January 21, 200916 yr Why don't you just have the BTL reconed?Sundown is trying out a trade up program as well for the amplifiers. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=24871
January 22, 200916 yr Admin I agree with John, I would suggest getting the BTL reconed, even if it takes a little longer. I don't think it is a good idea to down grade woofers if you don't need to. Plus a recone would be much cheaper.
January 24, 200916 yr Author this is really gonna make me sound like a noob but i have never done a recone before and dont want to fudge anything up..
January 24, 200916 yr this is really gonna make me sound like a noob but i have never done a recone before and dont want to fudge anything up..If you don't feel up to doing it/learning how to do it, Fi will do it for you.
January 24, 200916 yr I've never reconed a sub either, but my first is going to be done this weekend. I'm going to follow this "how-to"http://www.splbassx.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=8657Looks rather easy. (I'm using epoxy instead of CA)
January 25, 200916 yr Author alright thanks guys I talked to jacob and hes giving me a pretty good deal on a trade in so unless anyone has any better ideas im just going to go with a sundown 3000 and recone the btl
