Problems getting RE 12.1
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 139 Registered: Nov-05 | Can anyone give me a dealer number who may have two RE 12.1s in stock. I need to order two as soon as possible and RE does not have any in stock and won't until the 26th, if then. They won't give me any dealer numbers so I'm kinda stuck waiting for the 26th. I tempted to go off and buy a different brand of amp because the date keeps getting pushed for the 12.1s. |

Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 482 Registered: Dec-04 | there are a lot of good amps around $400 that will push 1200w at 1ohm |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 140 Registered: Nov-05 | I needed two. I can get a pair of Vega EXL-1000Ds for $875 with a full warranty with replacement if anything happens to them. That is direct from the shop I'm dealing with down here. All I know is I've got a TCB Audio Comp the 29th of this month and I need to find some amps asap. RE had 20 amps Friday but were sold to a dealer. Now I'm stuck here trying to find a good alternative for a similar price. I wanted to run 1200RMS to each so how much difference would it be compared to 1000RMS to each? |

Silver Member Username: Baseball1187Columbia, SC Post Number: 484 Registered: Dec-04 | a lot of people on this forum dont like them, but check out the ED NINE.1 |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 141 Registered: Nov-05 | Anybody ever used the ED Nine.1? If those 4 fuses on there are 30A which I believe they are that it should very well put out that 1200RMS (30x4x100=1200). Only reason I considered the Vegas were because I could get them and install the same day. As long as I meet my deadline for the 29th it does not matter I suppose. Also on that ED Nine.1, how low does the subsonic filter go on it? I'm very well considering two of these amps unless someone else can think of a better one for around the same price. I'm willing to spend up to 1000-1200 on two amps. If I wait for the 26th I can get two RE 12.s for $780.00 shipped. |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 142 Registered: Nov-05 | Anyone? Need to get this done asap so odds are I can't wait for the RE 12.1s unless someone can give me a dealer number or knows elsewhere to get them. I'm open to any other amps that would push two RESX15s. Going in a 7.0^3ft box ported and tuned to 28hz. |

Gold Member Username: RovinTrinidad & T... Post Number: 4607 Registered: Jul-05 | JBL 1200.1 4 around $350 thats what that guy marshall white uses on his 1 15" & does 140+ dbs off it ....... |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 143 Registered: Nov-05 | Think the JBL is a better choice than the ED NINe.1? What about Directed? I honestly do not care what amps I use as long as they push the subs to spec and not sound muddy.. would be nice if the subsonic filter went down to 25hz as well. |

Silver Member Username: SymplestilesStockton, CA Usa Post Number: 420 Registered: Aug-04 | on the JBL 1200.1 the freq. responce is 10hz-320hz. Nice thing about the JBL BP series amps is that they are stable at 2 and 1 ohm, holding the same amount of power. I have a JBL BP600.1 and it does all that + more. Easily puts out the rated power. I have heard great things about the ED nine.1 as well.. I think any of the amps you listed will put out their rated power and run your SX's well. Look for best pricing and who will ship out ASAP. GL in your comp |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 144 Registered: Nov-05 | Anyone ever use a Directed Audio 1500D? I've seen those pretty cheap and they are suppose to push 1100RMS @ 1ohm. That is actually one of the amps RE recommended to me but I'd still like imput. |

Bronze Member Username: Ruxpin20DeTroiT, MIchiGan Post Number: 43 Registered: Oct-05 | get the JBL bp1200.1, i have had that amp for about 3 years and i love it, it puts out around 1300 watts at 1 or 2 ohms and you just cant beat the price, the amp dosent have a subsonic filter though. |

Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 4107 Registered: Jul-05 | Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200 watts rms @ 1-4 ohms |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 145 Registered: Nov-05 | I was just reading the specs on the Phoenix Gold Xenon 1200, looks impressive especially for the price. So so far its either the.. ED NINe.1 JBL 1200.1 PG Xenon 1200 or... wait for the RE 12.1s  I'm evening considering .. Viper d2500.1 Orion 2500.1 Diamond Audio d51200.1 Viper d1200.1 |

Gold Member Username: Suleman36Maryland U.S.A. Post Number: 2798 Registered: Feb-05 | Also you guys should look into the CrossFire VR1000D amp. Very Underated amp for around $350-$450 price range I have had mine for about 6 months now and its a great amp that is rated to put out 1000 x 1 @ 1 ohm tested at 12.5 volts and around 1332 x 1 @ 1 ohm tested at higher voltage like 14.4 I got mine from www.woofersetc.com |

Gold Member Username: CenusHicksville, Ohio Usa Post Number: 1046 Registered: Jan-05 | you could also consider the kicker sx amps, they are very nice but kinda exspensive. |

Silver Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 311 Registered: Oct-05 | I vouch for the Viper d2500.1 - My dmm Read 0ver 2700 wrms with the gain about 80% up @ 2ohms... And it was CLEAN. I have it pushin' my 15" ava at about 1100 rms @ 4ohm now. (As of tomorrow I believe my ava is SOLD...)(thinkin' 'bout maybe... 4 15"s and another d2500.1??? MUAHAHAHAHAHA !!! |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 146 Registered: Nov-05 | Or sell me your d2500.1 and start over :P. The reason I left the kicker amps out is because they are not as clean as I'd like. The put out the power no doubt. There are tons of good amp selections so I guess I'm going to have to limit the list. First off what would you recommend to run the two RESX15s.. 1000RMS or 1200RMS.. How much difference will you gain with 400RMS over the total? |

Silver Member Username: SixFlint, MI U.S.A. Post Number: 312 Registered: Oct-05 | Everyone knows the Sxs Love the 1250 wrms over their underrated 1000 wrms rating... |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 147 Registered: Nov-05 | I'm seriously thinking about getting either two PG Xenon 1200s or a JBL BP2200.1. I'm leaning more towards the PG but I'm still open to any other choices. Going to spring for a 250A alt and probably two seperate batteries for the audio system. |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 148 Registered: Nov-05 | So.. any better amp for the price of two PB Xenon 1200s.. they look great on paper and PG has decent equipment and this being on the high end of their line. Think I'm going to order a pair unless someone can give me good reason no to? |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4213 Registered: Jun-04 | let me know how they are phoenix golds been slackin latley i heard |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4214 Registered: Jun-04 | i considered them up against jl but I still like jl amps better more adjustability |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4215 Registered: Jun-04 | for your batteries do the batcaps heard excellent things about them plus they are small |
|
Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4216 Registered: Jun-04 | but my goals are less power oriented so jl amps are an easier choice for me...a 500/1 would do the job for me im done with massive watts |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 151 Registered: Nov-05 | Hmm.. I've always heard good things about the PG amps but I've never used them. I wish I could get two RE 12.1s but nope, sold out. Anyone else hear anything bad about the PG Xenons? |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 153 Registered: Nov-05 | ^bump^ .. ordering tomorrow. any downfalls? better amps for the price? Also going to get an amp for the components so I'm thinking about the PG Xenon 200.4 to keep it all the same. It will be running a pair of Infinity Kappa Perfect 6.1s and teo RE8s. |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 155 Registered: Nov-05 | Found the Xenon 1200.1s for $337 from: http://www.hifisoundconnection.com/ anyone ever order from them or know a better place to order them from besides ebay? |
|
Gold Member Username: Chaunb3400Huntsville, Alabama U.S. Post Number: 4222 Registered: Jul-05 | Do that^^ even on ebay i dont think there that cheap and there C.E.A-2006 Compliant so they will put out, plus the versitlity makes it a great amp |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 156 Registered: Nov-05 | Alright.. so its settled.. two PG Xenon 1200.1s .. but yet I can't find the PG Xenon 200.4 cheaper. Might just put off the component install and the component amp and just do the HU, wiring, subs/amps h/o alt, and an extra battery or two. Depends on how much money I have heh. Just trying to meet the 29th deadline, gotta have my truck done for the TBP Comp. Btw, the audio shop is pretty confident we will see high 150s and possibly get into lower 160 dB range. I'm not so sure about it so if it does it, w00t lol. Box is nearly done, 7^3ft, ports tuned to 28hz. |

Gold Member Username: InsearchofbassPost Number: 4229 Registered: Jun-04 | Im not saying I know that phoenix gold xenon is bad Im just saying I heard their stuff has been less quality than in previous years but please do let me know whay you think of those amps i may have reconsidered to go with them myself they are half the price of jl 500/1 and have all the features except dial in center frequency ( I like being able to choose any frequency) along with adjustable subsonic to 60 hz and the power output being the same at 1 to 4 ohms it makes it nice only other thing i see missing is the rms power being guarunteed down to 11 volts which i doubt phoenix gold promise like jl can |

Silver Member Username: Camaro155mphPost Number: 323 Registered: Aug-05 | I can't believe RE is out of stock on 12.1's. How can the manufacturer be out of its product, I know its a small company, but its just weird. When i called to order my SX15 and 12.1 they had them both in stock and i got them within a week. |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinFort Worth, Texas US Post Number: 157 Registered: Nov-05 | They sold 500 RE 12.1s before Christmas and they ran out of parts to make them. They are waiting on the parts which come in the 20th ths month. |
