Posted July 29, 200520 yr I know that this new RL-p setup has got to be loud. I know it will be.In the back of my mind I can't quit thinking, oh my gosh what if it isn't??I keep thinking that a small box woofer doesn't lend itself to getting too loud.I'm coming from a 15" Ascendant Audio Atlas in 4.8NET @ 31hz. What I am wanting out of this setup is the following....Twice as loud as the Atlas.More authority in the 60-80hz region, where the atlas lacked.By the numbers, it should be at least twice as loud, but I keep thining...its audio, chit doesn't always happen how formulas say, I may be dissapointed.I've got twice the cone area, 6mm more linear excursion, and the output advantage of not being xbl^2 oriented.

July 29, 200520 yr lol I get the same feeling everytime I do something new to the car. But i've always figured out a way to make it work!
July 29, 200520 yr 40's and 50's have been hit on different mics using rl-p's (15's)..so they have the capability of getting loud. twice as loud as what u currently have? i have no clue. with the increased cone area and xmax, u should definitely be louder, but no clue as to how much, too many varibles...also, all frequencies should be reinforced as well as output. not just because of brand switch, but because ur increasing potential output...of course, the rl-p is a really nice sub, which tends to reproduce all frequencies strongely. and of course, enclosure is going to be a importance here as well (for the output as well)wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
