July 19, 200718 yr Doing this will raise the tuning frequency since you now have more PR surface area. It's the same as adding a port. Remove the driver and replace it with an MDF disc of the same size. Just temporarily bolt it in.-RobertThanks Robert,Good thought......It's been a while since I've built this one and I forgot about those numbers....
July 19, 200718 yr Robert,What do you think about having a pair of these monster 15" RLS in place of the RLP's?I'll install a divider between the top half of the cabinet and the lower half.That will give me two passive radiators per driver and I can still use the cabinet as is and I have two separate amps driving each driver.The cu. ft. of each cabinet will be around 2.25 to 3 per half. Thanx in advance....

July 20, 200718 yr i'm very curious about how well the rl-s performs on music...wouldn't mind a 12 replacing my rl-i 10
July 20, 200718 yr i'm very curious about how well the rl-s performs on music...wouldn't mind a 12 replacing my rl-i 10 I thought the Q was too high at .9 for the RLS with the passive radiators. I just heard back from Mike and he agreed. I'm going to replace the RLP's with the same drivers. I'm thinking about replacing the wife, but I think it would be easier to just keep the gains down and it will be a whole lot cheaper than replacing her!This sub sounds so clean with the RLP's. I've decided to build a custom cabinet for the RLS now that my electrical truck restoration project is over and I have my shop back. Kids just have to have something to do, at any age!
July 20, 200718 yr lol.i will be buying another rl-s soon. i will attempt to fit a 5-6cuft box in the trunk of my honda accord. if it doesn't then i am using one for my home theater. the amp to power this for home is going to be expensive though.
October 6, 200816 yr Why is it that some claim the rl-s would be more geared towards home theater than car use? I don't think the box requirements are that large for the 12", power requirements though, might be another matter.
