|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 576 Registered: Jun-06 | how do u like it? How many watts are u sendin to it? and What are your enclosure specs for it? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4754 Registered: Oct-05 | i am giving it 1000wrms from a jl 1000/1. i love it. its louder than when i had 2 treo ssi's with 2000wrms. i am looking for a more powerful amp cause this sub is just begging for more power. this sub is a dual 1ohm so i was thinking of connecting it to a orion 2500d at 2 ohm. that would give me around 1700wrms. the sub is in a 6.5 cuft net with 2 4inch aeroports tuned to 32hz. that thing pounds way too much. i am gonna get this baby meter later on today from a local audio shop. i found one that has a tl mic. |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 577 Registered: Jun-06 | how much louder do u think it would be tuned to 35 Hz? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4755 Registered: Oct-05 | thats hard to say. if i was to tune my box right now to 35hz i don't think it would get that much louder. i imagine it would get a bit more boomy but thats about it. one thing about this sub is that it hits low. |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 578 Registered: Jun-06 | sweet |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 579 Registered: Jun-06 | Do u think i would be heard from a block or two away with this sub? |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 580 Registered: Jun-06 | and can u get them directly from RE? |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4757 Registered: Oct-05 | i was bumping to some bass mekaniks on the freeway the other day. i was on the far right lane. this guy from the far left lane which was 3 lanes over changed lanes to come next to me. he asked me what kinda sub i had cause he could feel the bass. you know that the freeways are very noisy. i don't know about block away but i was heard half a block away. |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 581 Registered: Jun-06 | thats crazy...lol...can u get it from RE |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 406 Registered: Nov-05 | yea.. ive got an SX 15.. its running 1000wrms but marshall said they can handle 1800wrms if you know what your doing. mines metered at 145.7 in a 4^3ft box tuned to 35hz.. built another box today for another comp.. new box is tuned for 42hz so well see what happens. Everywhere I go people compliment me on the system. i went down to where i used to live to see my friend James and it was around 11 at night so i did not want to show him my new system at his house and get him in trouble. we went down the road to a local store in his community which was closed at the time and i turned it up. people from a house about 200 feet came walking towards me and asked me what i had in it because it was rattling their windows. |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4759 Registered: Oct-05 | f uck yeah kevin. these re sx's are beasts. i am still in shock at its spl. lol. |

|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 583 Registered: Jun-06 | so can u or no? |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 407 Registered: Nov-05 | depends on your budget.. what kind of car/truck/suv do you have? keep in mind to rnu two of those you need a big 3 upgrade and as far as dBs, it all depends on what your looking for. To strickly compete with two SXs in the right install you can be in the low the 150s.. double the power and give each 2000wrms and you can be in the mid 150s. of course if you do not know what your doing i don't suggest that. i have two SX 15s in my truck tuned for 28hz. I was hitting 145.6 at 38hz while way underpowering the subs. and yes you can hear them a few blocks away but you can hear most subs a block a way if the install is good. and chad.. hurry up and post some numbers damnit! lol we have been waiting for eons i swear :P |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 584 Registered: Jun-06 | Can u just call RE and order the subs? |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 585 Registered: Jun-06 | Hey Chad, Do u know how much Xmax the 18" SX has? cause im using the box building calculator and u need that stat. |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 408 Registered: Nov-05 | yea but they might cost more than from a dealer.. ebay normally has a few but all they have on there now is the 2006 MX .. speaking of which i wish i ahd the extra cash for it  http://cgi.ebay.com/RE-Audio-MX12-12-MX-Sub-Resonant-Engineering-like-XXX_W0QQit emZ250019433411QQihZ015QQcategoryZ18803QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem |

New member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 10 Registered: Aug-06 | well i can spend about 700 to 800 if thats were there gonna cost but i can wait to get a amp or do i need 2 of them? but i have a grand prix gt 2 door im not to fimiliar with the hz tging so tell me what that exactly is cuz i have 2 kicker comps that i just sold and those were not very loud in my car they just had a good sound but i sold them i havnt sold them to the guy yet because im waiting on the money |

Bronze Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 11 Registered: Aug-06 | so withch one is the best out of all of them models |
|
Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4760 Registered: Oct-05 | what are you looking for michael. the sx will get louder than the xxx with less power. the xxx has awesome sq though. a single sx 15 or 18 (if you can fit it in the trunk) will be more than enough to give you good spl. |

Silver Member Username: Teddy21Ann Arbor, MI USA Post Number: 169 Registered: Feb-06 | hey chad, do you have an aftermarket alternator and what kind of car do you got? |
|
Silver Member Username: Crayola0Wisconsin Post Number: 588 Registered: Jun-06 | Xmax?...lol |
|
Bronze Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 12 Registered: Aug-06 | what i want is something loud and have good spl but is that all they make is 18 and 15 cuz i was thinking of 12s but i dont know allot about that .... so how do u know how to tune to hz idk what thats all about and yea my trunk is pretty big |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 409 Registered: Nov-05 | well an SX 15 requires 3.5-4.0^3ft ... my box fills my whole trunk of my Jetta. I don't have an h/o alt, just running a yellow top but my amp is starving for power if i listen to music with the volume over 29. but when its that loud you can't really listen to it because it kills your ears. as far as tuning a box.. http://www.subwoofertools.com/forum/ported-box.asp? http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp the xmax for an SX i believe is 20mm? someone correct me if im wrong your best bet is to get a single 15 for your car and do a big 3. |

Silver Member Username: Teddy21Ann Arbor, MI USA Post Number: 170 Registered: Feb-06 | i got a 12 inch and it sounds great with only 600 watts going to it! |

Gold Member Username: BestmankindLos Angeles, CA USA Post Number: 4762 Registered: Oct-05 | "hey chad, do you have an aftermarket alternator and what kind of car do you got?" i have a 05 honda accord coupe. 260a ho alternator from iraggi. 1 yellowtop under the hood and 1 more in the trunk. |

Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 414 Registered: Nov-05 | I'm not sure but from what I've heard they nearly double in price.. ficaraudio is basically the new (re) .. same guy who designed them |
|

|
Silver Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 182 Registered: Nov-04 | mike look into these they should be plenty loud i've heard the RE sx is a great sub but i'm just throwin out another option go to the DD audio forum and read up on what they say about these http://www.audioque.com/aq/HDSeries.htm |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 428 Registered: Nov-05 | At the comp I was at Two 15" Audioques pulled a 154 but of course he had 10 batteries and was putting out 6500watts lol.. This was in a ext late 80s small pickup |
|
Bronze Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 28 Registered: Aug-06 | hey mr. bojangles why u recomend those r they better? and they look 2 me that theres only 1 that looks pretty good and its the bigger one with the big fom i dont remeber what it was caled but why do u say those why whats wrong with the 2 12s sx |
|
Silver Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 183 Registered: Nov-04 | nothing is wrong with the SX's at all i would actually love to own a pair its just i had a similair thread to this the other day and was told the Audioque HD3's would probably get louder and sound better |
|
Silver Member Username: DrsmithMontana USA Post Number: 185 Registered: Nov-04 | whichever way u go ur gonna have a nice system i was just putting up another idea cuz i wish i had researched more before i bought my Cvx's cuz i kinda regret that decision there just not loud enough lol |
|
Silver Member Username: FrkkevinLake Worth, Texas US Post Number: 432 Registered: Nov-05 | I have not owned many different subs.. I ran the old MTX series in my car then I jumped right to two SX 15"s.. the only other sub I own is a Memphis LVS 15" but am currently running 1 SX 15".. I've heard a lot of systems and from what I've owned and heard I like RE.. If you could only get a chance to sit in a SUV with 2 XXX 12"s you'd be amazed. The Audioques I heard were only to compete so I'm unsure of how they actually sound SQ wise. But as far as loud, at the recent comp my single RE was louder than 4 Kicker cvrs, 4 Kicker L7s (sealed..), 2 15" Soundstream Tarantulas, 2 Audiopipe 15"s.. ect. If you can come across a pair for a decent price I'd jump on them. You might check out Ficaraudio, basically the same as RE.. |

Bronze Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 52 Registered: Aug-06 | idk the audioque just looks not asgood but loks dont mtter so idk i just hope there loud |

Bronze Member Username: Mike_16Reedsburg, Wisconsin Us Post Number: 59 Registered: Aug-06 | ya r those cheaper though.. and doesnt spl mean sound, pressure, level and thats the kind of bass that hass that pressure feel and what does sql mean? |
