I have an xtant 1001 it gives 1000 watts rms I need either 2 12's or 1 12 what do you guys think is louder 2 re se 12s or 2 rlp 12s or 1 re sx 12 I only care about SPL whatever I get will be in a ported box thanks in advance

Not that I'm a veteran around here or anything but I think people should stop asking "which is louder?" those questions are just annoying and honestly really hard to answer because of the variables involved.

If you want a real answer provide more info like, the space you have available, the money you can spend, your abilities in building a box, and since you only care about SPL you should really be asking what frequency you should tune to. If you just want a hella loud box that doesn't sound very good make a bandpass box or a really large ported box with a huge slot and tune that bastard to like 50hz or something. It'll just crush at that freq. but everthing else will sound awkward.

Is your electrical system up to the job?

As far as my recs for the above listed the 2rlp's will blow the others away in SQ and most likely SPL but I'm not sure on the SPL (but theoretically they shouldn't be far off)

My rlp 12 can easily make my amp clip in a 1.2 cuft sealed off of 600watts. So with 1000 watts you might not really see the full potential of your subs.

pssst, your sub isnt the reason your amp clips

That last statement makes a whole lot of no sense.

Power compression maybe?

ok then I have a 94 acura vigor which has good trunk space but my box buliding skills suck so I'm gonna buy a 1.8 cubic foot ported box off ebay 1 for each sub because I can't fit a dual because of the akward shape of the trunk lid my budget is not really an issue because I am not willing to purchase another amp so thats the wattage (500 per sub) (or 1000 for 1 sub) I have to work with and I have an optimua yellow top battery and monster 1 farad cap running

0 guage wire you tell me what frequency I should ask for like I said I have no box buliding skills so I have no clue about frequency

Don't buy from ebay... pm mrray13.

Drop the cap and do the big 3.

all out spl and 1000wrms?

the re sx in about 2.5-3ft, tuned upwards of 40hz, that should just about make u deaf.

while the ss rl-p's would indeed hold their own, i wouldn't recommend them. why? they are an sq sub that can get loud. they aren't designed to just thrash all day, though in the proper enclosure, they will.

the re se's, i have no experience with, but again, i'll refrain from suggesting them. why?

while two twelves have the potential to be louder, u mentioned the weird layout of the vehicle. u also made mention of buying 1.8ft^3 boxes. so that tells me space is limited. so instead of trying to put two twelves in a space that might be good for sql, that could potential starve the subs for spl, i'll suggest the one sub setup. especially since that one sub is known to get loud. it'll make install alot easier, IMO.

so again, i say grab the re sx, find/build/buy a 2.5-3ft^3 enclosure, 40-50in^2 of port, tuned in the 40-44hz area...

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

of Your stated choices, none.

For the same cost, pick up a 15" SX and go with a 3.0ish box. If You must go RE.

there are two RL-ps for sale from Effendi, and an SX 10 for sale on here also

I agree 1000watts pushing a sub in a 2.5cf @ 40Hz shloud make you very happy in a car that small ! but make sure the sub you get will take 1000 rms and remember that the AC mics like notes around 60Hz so dont start to low like i did

i use the SoundStream T4 15" x2 ea will take 1000 rms w/ dual 1ohm coils

IA LIs, box from Mr Ray, no cap, big 3, deaden atleast the trunk.

if you need someone that can build a Killer box for ya try Phil @ http://www.woodlawncabinetry.com/ tell him LB sent ya hes a great guy !!! & remember to measure the trunk opening so the box will go into your car after its built a lot of people forget that

Kent > Phil

Kent > Phil

ummmmmm, whilest i like to think that....i don't have his tools..lol...

but i'm probably cheaper. however, at this time, i have no time..so phil>kent

i've got about 6 boxes to build before finals...gotta find 4-5db....yep..i'm all booked up.

but thatnks for the plug!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ok then... Phil > Kent > tomatoes > herpes > JOO!
