you get the sales number in the contact info. As far as the box 1.5 cubic foot ported at 32 hz for SQL like listed on their site.

I just got 4 of them and love them.

I personally have my 4 sealed, so i would expect even larger numbers then me. They are extremely punch subs and can still hit decently low. They are VERY SMALL subs. Each sub weighs about 6 pounds or so.

It will be about 77 shipped per sub unless you have a dealer near buy, and in that case they will make you go through them and pay more.

They build the subs after the order so it should take 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to get the subs.

Just the way they chose to make them, cant really say why. They are very light. When they shipped they were all in one semi-large box that weighed 24lbs from what fedex said. 2 of them should be very nice. Enjoy them when you get them. Hell, as small as they are you might even be able to add a couple more later on if there is room in your car.

I ordered one RE 12 today and they charged me $77 dollers shipped. I should be getting it in a week and a half from now.

Its going in a 1.5 cuft ported box tuned to 32hz that i have. This is like a budget setup im using for my brothers civic. I am looking at the JL e1200 or jl 250/1 to power this. RE said that this sub is rated 175 rms but can take 250 rms

Wonder how this will sound when its done.

Yes, you will want a 3.0 cu ft box tuned to 32hz and these subs are underated and can handle 250 watts rms/ I talked to the guy from RE today when i ordered my 12 RE.

My friend is actually about to order 2 RE 12's and go ported like you at 3.0 cuft. tuned to 32hz and run them off a kicker kx600.1

awsomes sounds good, when you say tuned to 32hz how do you tune the box?

the box tune depends on the design (mainly length) of the port. i forgot if a shorter port or a longer port gets lower. wait for glass or another post from MO.

The longer the port the lower the tuning.
