Posted April 15, 200619 yr In a 1.5^3 sealed box with about 700 watts going to each sub which one one do you think will be louder SE or RL-p. Which would have Better SQ?
April 15, 200619 yr sq easily to the rl-p....spl, that'll be close. the se isn't a slouch. neither is the rl-p. i dunno..lol..overall better choice? rl-p...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 16, 200619 yr Once i put my Rl-p in the similar box size with only 500rms, it really rocks, just a bit peaky though.
April 16, 200619 yr sq easily to the rl-p....spl, that'll be close. the se isn't a slouch. neither is the rl-p. i dunno..lol..I think you have thoes backwards. Because if the Rl-p is in the running leauges with the SE as far as output, then my preception that it's runner up competition for the old brahmas and XXX's and Avalanches as far as output is off. SE is loud, dont get me wrong, thoes drivers are just louder. Also, SE's are very clean, compareable to my avalanche. which is XBL equipted so there for is must rule all

April 16, 200619 yr That sounds yummy...makes me think about the next upgrade to amanda's system. Rl-p 15 3cuft@28Hz
April 16, 200619 yr That sounds yummy...makes me think about the next upgrade to amanda's system. Rl-p 15 3cuft@28Hzthrow between 750-1000wrms at it..and man, that'll be sick!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 17, 200619 yr this thread is making my mouth watter for my next system. i want my rl-ps soo bad. and that usamps md2 from flakko whould go very nicely with it. Edited April 19, 200619 yr by jearhart
April 22, 200619 yr Author THnx guys I ended up getting the RL-p's.. ohh yeah... they quake.... only in about 1 cube each though. But now I have another question. The box I have is 2 chambers 1 cube each. What would be the difference in sq and spl if I were to remove the board in the middle that separates the 2 chambers? Basically im just turning it into a single 2 cube enclosure with both subs still in it. thnx
April 22, 200619 yr Removing the center board, depending on its thickness, will only afford you a slight boost in effective internal volume. However, given that you are kinda on the tight side for the RL-p12 driver (I'd like to see at least 1.15 cu ft net volume per driver), it may be an option worth considering; provided that the box is built solid enough to maintain structural integrity while not flexing wildly on the then unbraced portions of the enclosure walls. Increasing the effective volume of your sealed enclosure will help to increase overall output, particularly at the low-end of the response. But of course, this increase will be proportional to how much you can actually increase the volume by removing the board in question. If you haven't already, you might also (or instead) try adding anywhere from 0.3 - 1.25 lb of polyfill per cubic foot - which can also aid in increasing output.
April 22, 200619 yr instead of completely removing the board, remove just eh center section, say within an inch all the way around. in that way you increase volume (a smidge), don't affect structral integrity as much and you can still ahd the polyfill mike suggested. i think you'll enjoy the return!!the rl-p, iME, loves 1.25ft^3 sealed, absloutely loves it!!wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
April 22, 200619 yr Admin rl-ps soo bad. and that usamps md2 from flakko whould go very nicely with it.
January 21, 200817 yr Bringing this back from the dead lolAs far as low end (30hz-40z), which subwoofer would perform better?
January 22, 200817 yr All depends on installation, but personally I wouldn't run the SE no way, no how. The Rlp is a much nicer driver IMO.
