Anyone know about their subs?

[TSiFTW]

Yes they are bad ass, especially the XXX. So are their counterpart amps US Amps, as long as you stay away from the Terminator series.

[Enjoi_yo]

How are the 15's.

[TSiFTW]

Which series? What is the model number. They are all really good. The higher end is sick though.

[AV8ter]

I like em. Have had a 12'' SE myself along with a 18'' XXX, and have installed a couple of SRs and HCs.

They are usually low in sesitivity but that doesn't stop them from getting loud as tits and sounding good doing it.

I did a 139.9 with a single 12'' SE at 40hz, and a 142.4 with a single 15'' SE at 35hz. All sealed up, on music, not test tones, in my teg. Guys at American Radio might remember me metering with them.

I need to run up to American Radio when I get the sealed box for my 18'' XXX done and see what that does off 2kw. Should be epic, no less.


Kevin

[AV8ter]

Here is an install I did with/for a friend. 1600rms. Sounds like a 146 to me, and will probably get up to a 150 once we drop it to half ohm.









Kevin

[Enjoi_yo]

They are the SE's

[AV8ter]

What size? What amp you got fro them?

Got a box yet? I would do 4-5 cubes(Shoot for 5) tuned to 32-34hz.


Kevin

[Enjoi_yo]

2 15's in a ported box. I'm borrowing a 1800 wat amp until i can get a better one.

[AV8ter]

What car is going in?


Kevin

[Enjoi_yo]

A nissan versa

[AV8ter]

You'll need to go with a sealed box in order to get the proper airspace for those woofers. They will still be unbearable sealed. AKA, Loud as tits.....

[Enjoi_yo]

What do you mean by proper air space?

[AV8ter]

Every sub has an optimal environment for bass reproduction. I would be willing to bet whatever 2 15'' ported box you have it not optimal for the SEs and would likely sound like ass/diarrhea.

[Enjoi_yo]

Alright. It's not hooked up yet but I might start looking for a sealed box.

[TSiFTW]

That shit sill be loud in a Versa. My wife has one LOL.

[Enjoi_yo]

haha. I have had a lot of offers on it so I might end up selling it and getting something smaller after a couple weeks of weird looks driving down the road.

[lovinmydodge]

hey kevin r u on CSF.NET? jw lol this looks familiar & I Ran a XXX 15 off a jl 1000/1 & It did a 149.3 sealed the xxx line is unlike anything i've ever heard. its scary down low

Naw. I am on CA.com, CACO.org, DIYmobileaudio.com, and meade's forum. I am sure you saw me on there. It did a 149 on a TL? Really? I have 2kw to throw at my 18 sealed, and I was going to be happy if it did a 142 lol. I guess I am going to need to keep an extra change of underwear in the car with me at all times.

We need to meet up man.

You sure you didn't mean a 139.3? Damn!


Kevin

[AV8ter]

Oh...... Did you mean sealed as in windows up?

I am going to do a sealed box because that is all I can fit in the trunk for an 18, but I will a have a bigger ported box for when I want to pull out the rear seats cause they come out easy. Ported for me has no reason to be in the upper 140s, closing in on the 150.

RE subs are definitely the best for the price, and will outperform most of their more expensive counterparts. I'm about to purchase a SXX. One ten is going to shake the fuck out of my DSM, gotta love hatchbacks.

You already get the ssx? How much does it cost?


Kevin

Kevin

Not yet, it's just on the list. I'm shopping around, it seems the prices have went up from what I remember when RE first came out. I have a Type R in the trunk that is definitely satisfactory for now so I'm in no rush. And I meant SX, not ssx. I'm guessing the ssx is a new model.

[AV8ter]

Yeah the Sxx is the new model. Id try to find a sx cause you can recone those once you blow them up, the new ones are not really reconable.


kevin

[alpine_aw11]

Well shit if it's gonna blow up I dont want to buy it lol. That's what I love about my Type R, amazing sound for 100 bucks and I've beat the shit out of it for 3 years without an issue.

Wanna bet on that? there is a reason why RE isn't used in the competition lanes.. . . .

[alpine_aw11]

What's better for their price range? If it exists, please do tell so I can buy it. Hopefully you aren't planning on saying DD.

And I should rephrase my original statement, RE sounds better than all of the major brands' more expensive offerings that I have personally heard. I'm sure you're going to tell me about something I've never heard of.

I have a US Amps DE-3000 sitting unused at the house right now of you are interested.

[BanginBlazer]

im looking for a new amp whats its gonna cost me?

[AV8ter]

Most specific post ever!


No really dude? What sub(s)? What you hitting a 136 in?


Kevin

[BanginBlazer]

2 underpowerd dd 1510s like 800 watts on 8 guage wire and blown door speakers and no sound deadner

[AV8ter]

In a blazer?

You know what hz that was at? Windows up, doors shut, right?

I did a 141.2 at 35hz in my teg off 1kw with one 15. You should have some more left in that setup.

Lots of good amps out there for the money. My new bang for the buck pick is the MB Quart DSC2000.1D. It does the 2kw it says it does and does not break the bank. I actually installed one in my friends blazer and I have one of my own for my teg that I will throw in over the summer.


Kevin

[BanginBlazer]

52 hz but i did a 139.1 on a outlaw but when i did the legal i had my friend push the back hatch and it jumped .5 db cause of the vibration and im pretty sure i can get 700 out of each sub 500 rms rated and i need 1/0 gauge wire as well

[BanginBlazer]

yep in a blazer sound deadner is very key in good number in this car cause of the thin metals flexx alott the back hatch is going to be first then the doors and roof

if I remember right it was at around 49hz or so legal with the doors shut and windows up. then again I was installing a radio while they were testing his car.


And to any other RE apologists, this is the very essence of why no one uses their stuff in the SPL lanes. the Entry level DD subs can give them a solid run at a fraction of the price.

Then you factor in the cost of an SX, XXX, or MT and I garuntee I can go buy a Memphis mojo (which costs less than all of those), or an Incriminator Death Penalty, or a DD9512, or a Rocford T2, and own you on any mic in any position.

I got my blown XXX 12 for $100 and spent $250 total getting it reconed to an 18''. It really isn't an SPL sub.

The 141.2 was with a first gen RE SE, reconed with a XXX coil.

136.8 is not too hot at all. I ain't ragging on you, I just know you have a lot more left out of that system.

You saying a RF t2, 9512, mojo and DP all blow away sx, xxx, and Mts is a very relative statement.

Some guy at one of your meet and greets had a 15'' mojo, ported off 1.5kw, in his scion tc. one of your installs. I put up a solid 1db more than him, at a lower hz, with a single RE SE 12, on less than 600rms. (In my integra)

Can you argue with that one?

I am not trying to push any buttons, I just want to debate with you.

[BanginBlazer]

u want to debate with me welll...... since i am only pushing like 800 rms total on 8 guage wire that i bought for 20 dollars idk how good it is but im sure ur 141 is decent but i am getting rid of my system i want a new system plus these are like one of the lowest dds out here i dont have a single bit of sound deadner and i have like 2 - 3 door speakers blown no highs or amp.. so a 136 is good.. i didnt evn think it was gonna be that loud i did a 139.1 on an outlaw at 52 hz .. my amp is like busted but it was a budget system and ur car is smaller than mine

That was more directed towards Scott.

What amp did you have on them? What size box you running? Sealed? Ported?

[BanginBlazer]

quantum audio 1800 watts ported and a tline box tuned to 36 hz
