i am amazed at how many people on here are talking about this company. i have never heard of them before. everybody seems to really like thier products..so i am looking for 1 or 2 subs..either 10, 12 , or a 15. about 600watts rms. i was thinkin an sx 15 but i have no idea how much power it can handle and if its a sq or spl or sql type of sub. prefferably i would like a sql(somethin in the middle of sq and spl). and if anybody has any prices..any input would be appreciated..thanks

"i am amazed at how many people on here are talking about this company. i have never heard of them before. everybody seems to really like thier products."

Adire had better step it up before they become the "Able" to RE's "Cain."

i believe, if i'm not mistaken, the sx is an HC motor, better equipped for immense output with considerable control. but not as much sq as the xbl2 motor employed by the XXX.

I'd get the SE15 myself. less overall space needed, it'd do very well with 600 watts, and I'm just not a big fan of the W3 line of subs myself.. they've always been a bit muddy at higher output to me.

thanx for the reply glasswolf..almost 10,000 posts i can see you know what ur talkin about. an se15 is lookin like the prime canidate. just a few more questions though. as per RE's enclosure specs for se15 sql..4cu.ft. ported 30hz tuning. is that what i should be looking at? and wiring..the se15 is dvc 4ohm or 2 ohm? which wiring should i look at..parrallel, series and what impendence..like i said i got a jl 500/1 which is 500w 1.5-4ohm.thanks again

yeah that'd be a great box for that sub
you can order the SE as dual 4 or dual 2 ohm coils.
I believe stock config is dual 2 ohm

its nowhere near a crappy sub because re isn't a crappy company. The 15" is actually 200 plus shipping.

RE makes fantastic subs. In fact, they make a sub thats only 70 bucks that is super fantastic and can beat out many subs over twice the cost. They build the products after the order, so quality is a must. They dont add exta krap that is unessesary like flashing lights and what not, just pure quality. You cant go wrong with the SE.

the enclosure might cost more than the sub itself

Are you going to build it yourself, or have someone else install it for you cause then your really just paying for labor. 3/4" mdf isn't that expensive.

The enclosure is also as important as the sub. You can put a nice subwoofer in a crappy box or half decent box and it will sound like crap but if you put a entry level sub or cheap sub in a very good box you will notice a big differance. Its usually the install and box that do the trick.

yea i know..i think im gonna go ahead and order it seeing as how he sounds like he knows what he is doing and has experience with RE stuff. i know the shop by house doesnt do much/any RE stuff.
here are the specs for the box;
Enclosure - 35.5" w x 16.6 h x 18" d
GBv - 4.87 cu.ft. / NBv - 4.04 cu.ft.
Slot Port @ 30 hz - 2.5" x 15 x 25.25"
Vented Bracing
Carpet - Charcoal Grey or Black
Terminal Cup w/ Spring Posts - Gold Plated
3/4" MDF

i just gotta make sure i order the 4ohm DVC model..not the 2 ohm.

Unlike some people, I don't hide behind a screen name and talk trash about them.

BTW, GlassWolf, next time you post trash about how someone needs to grow up, you'd better do some growing up of your own if you can't handle objective difference's of opinion.

Hey Phil, its MO. Thanks for the nice job on the Avalanche 15 box. It sounds really good at 2.2 sealed that you built for me. Definetly recommend www.woodlawncabinetry.com to anyone that wants a great box for a reasonable price. Look forward to more business in the future.

i was also thinking maybe 18 wide and 14 deep...

and on top of that i am going to build a 4cuft net volume slot ported box to 26 hz. i want to see if i like ported or sealed better.

not hiding at all Phil. first time I bothered to look at this thread since my last post.
I've stated my problem with you many times, and I'm happy to do it again.
your work is middle of the road, and your attitude leaves a lot to be desired.
you're arrogant, pompous, and should learn to treat customers and people who send you customers a bit better in the future.
It's already cost you work, and I plan to cost you more work until you get that attitude you so eagerly displayed earlier in check.

good day.

You don't dime one about me and I give each and every customer all the due consideration and respect they deserve.

It so easy for you to make slanderous comments and be insulated in the knowledge that you can act in the manner you do and feel pretty good about yourself in the process.

BTW, I could stoop to your level of childish behavior, but, since, I don't know you, but you think you know me, which you don't.... I'll just leave it at that.

not qworth the effort.

What makes me actually feel good about myself is knowing I do superior work, without signing onto forums for the sole purpose of starting fights.

this thread is done.

Hahaha, And you got the stones to call me arrogant when it's clear to see you typify the word Arrogance.

I come across plenty of people like you, you think your above everyone else only to fall on face when you cannot appect the obivious.

Your such a small minded person and a pathetic one at that, your right, this thread is done and I'm not waste my time on someone who thinks their holyier than thou.

okay u have yoru differences.... neither of you are too arrgant... my dad builds over 150 houses a year in a middle size town. there are so many homeowners that complain about everything! they are the extreme of arrgant... its rediculous. my dads been sued before because a guy decided he didnt want a pool anymore after it was all done and my dad told him he had to pay for it. you guys just have yoru differences so as long as u dont communicate everything is cool. so i end the thread now 8) lol

Damn.

Well, now I'm curious to know if Phil will be that much more curtious to customers because of said comments.
Also, I'm equally curious to see if Glasswolf will be more likely to answer newb's dumb questions now that said comments have been thrown out there as well.

If anything, they vented on each other, and everyone else will likely benefit as well.
Neat.

(And you were right, , "GOOD DAY" really is an awesomely funny statement! lol I love that part!!!)

Trevor the 2.2 cuft. sealed box does wonders for the Avalanche 15 if you want SQ/SQL setup. If your after SPL then go ported. I love my 2.2 cuft. sealed box in everyway.

I fully intend to continue answering every question I have time to respond to, but mainly I try to get to ones that haven't gotten sufficient help yet. If soemone else has or can easily answer them, I usually leave it unless I see it still there a day or two later

otherwise I'd be here all day :-)
