Posted September 5, 200916 yr Hi, guys!Seeing that I'm currently in the position of selling my eD 19Ov.2's, I have to find something else to put in my walled Mini.Didn't even get to test the 19Ov.2's, but I have had a RL-p15 a couple of years ago, and it's the best subwoofer I've ever owned. And the loudest. ^^So, now I wonder - for a wall (I can use it as "IB" too (very large sealed box), as there's quite a lot of room behind it):1 (or 2) RL-p18'sOR1 RL-s15?I've heard so much about the RL-s, I really want to try it out! But would it beat a RL-p18 in output? And what about 2 RL-p's?Thanks!
September 5, 200916 yr Admin The RL-s, has high output potential, but does need a decent amount of power and a large enclosure. I think the RL-p might be the better choice for this install.

I think the RL-p might be the better choice for this install.Yes, I was leaning towards that myself. I want SQ, but really loud. Hence the wall. ^^ I do have a big enclosure, around 8-10cu.ft I think? Maybe less... Dunno. The amp is a PG RSd1200.1, 1200W RMS@2ohm. Would you go dual 4 ohm VC and run @ 1 ohm?I think I might go for 2 RL-p18's then. Gotta check if Mike'll give me a nice offer on the shipping again. I live in Europe. Thanks... By the way, I don't see how people can say RL-p series isn't good for SPL, in 2.5cu.ft., tuned to 34-35hz, I got 144.4dB @ 51hz on a TermLAB in my old Civic, with only 6-700W RMS... 60A fuse broke first when attempting 40hz. Hoping for 150 with two RL-p18's in a wall, then? )))The advantage of the RL-p is that it's loud but still sounds very good. As I said... best I've ever had. And I have 3 Morel Elate SW10 in my daily driver, which sound good, but don't get very loud (obviously).
September 9, 200916 yr I will be getting a TC LMS 3ohm coil driver this week to play with. Will report back when I do some testing.Personally I'm running the TC2K's and wishing like hell I'd ponyed up the extra money for some LMS drivers.Keep in mind adequate port area/volume for a pair of 18's tuned low will eat up a LOT of your 10-12ft.
February 25, 201015 yr Author RL-s?My choice fell on a RE XXX-18... The RL-p 18's wasn't in stock at that time, and I had a chance to try something new at a reasonable price.

March 3, 201015 yr Off topic, but doesnt the XXX have 54mm xmax one way? If so It depends on the version he has.
