Posted May 14, 200718 yr Finally got the enclosures finished and in the house. Each box is 10^3 @19Hz with a single 8" port and RL-P 15. Port fires up and subs are down firing. I'm about 50/50 HT and music, so I think the higher tune is a good balance. So far I've been VERY impressed and the subs are only getting 400watts each off a Hypex plate amp. Couldn't imagine what 800+ to each one would sound like. Music has punch, hits low, and gets plenty loud with excellent SQ. Has no trouble keeping up with 6 Klipsch Legends. Also got to demo the depth charge scene from U-571 tonight. Neighbor was over and his jaw hit the floor. Much louder than the 4 Tempests they replaced. GF said the whole house felt like it was going to fall apart. PERFECT!!!!! Only took a few pics during the build process as it was usually way late and I was just trying to get them done. Definitely an upgrade and was a fun project. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy some movies with my new twin beasts in the house.
May 14, 200718 yr Author I cannot get the pictures to load. Looks like Image Shack is having some issues. I'll see if I can get them fixed. Will eventually stain them, but for now "naked" is fine.
May 15, 200718 yr Author mmm naked!I'm also digging the naked look. LOLGave them a real workout tonight. Depth charge scene again, AC/DC "Stiff Upper Lip" DTS DVD, and some music off the PC. Listened to the music in 7 channel stereo to recreate the dance club effect. OMFG was it loud and clean sounding. Depth charges knocked 2 pictures off the wall and a huge pillar candle off a shelf. AC/DC was just like sitting in the front row, as I've done that back in the day a few times when I was young and foolish. I must say that I now officially have a "STUPIDLY" loud system in my house when I have the desire to crank it up. Subs keep up no problem and just pump out clean, chest punching, wall shaking bass. Not sure I'll ever put 800+ watts to each one.Lovin these RL-P's all over again. GREAT product and customer service!!!!! Edited May 15, 200718 yr by mlstrass
