Posted July 29, 200520 yr (2) RL-p 15s sharing 400 RMS (5.5 NET @ 33hz)vs(2) RE RE 12s sharing 400 RMS (3.8 NET @ 35hz)Any guesses, bets, or wagers as to who will come out on top? This test will be performed by ear -- no meter used. So it may be an unnoticable change.New amp won't be here until next week, so I figured I would have some fun and put together a handicap match.Ding Ding Ding!!!! ROUND ONE
July 29, 200520 yr ummm..on sheer cone area alone..the rl-p's...lol...but sounds like fun!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
July 29, 200520 yr Author I'll be impressed if that happens. I'm just wondering if the limited power will give the REs a nice edge.I find out tomorrow morning. All I have left to do is cut mounting holes, wire, and screw the bishes in :-D.The port looks pretty damn good, I always like how slot ports turn out looking.TTIWWOP

ROUND ONE<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/quote15 vrs 12?? the 15s have to have more output with about the same power?
July 29, 200520 yr Author Well, I screwed up the first test run. It didn't sound too great and it wasn't as loud as the 12s .Obviously I was disappointed. Then I noticed they were moving funny, so I took out the 9v to test polarity and BAM one speaker wasn't really moving. Just resonating off the other. Sure enough, one loose wire :-D. Just fixed it and demoed for 10 seconds. RL-p WINS!!! I can't say by how much as I only have 10 second of listening time thus far. I work a 5 hour shift today delivering food...so I'll have a comprehensive report soon!
July 29, 200520 yr Admin the SE's are good subs, but not in the same league as the RL-p even if they were the same size
July 29, 200520 yr Author These aren't even SE they are RE.Rl-p wins, bout 2db louder across the board. No meter, just lots of experience.Box is flexing something sad in a certain spot. So threaded rod or some other form of bracing will be implemented.
July 30, 200520 yr the SE's are good subs, but not in the same league as the RL-p even if they were the same size<{POST_SNAPBACK}>And close to the same price.If only mike had the spun aluminum cones back when my friend bought his SE.....
