i have a 99 malibu, and i want a good loud, but clean output, they would be pushed by a AQ2200, and i know bout ho alt and good battery.

box setup is subs up port back (trunk), and 5.6cubes after subs and port displacement, so 1.4cu for each, and tuned @ 32hz

i also have no experience with the R's, so my 2 main questions is....

1.will exact setup be LOUD for daily driver?

2.will it have GOOD SQ, being @ 32hz tuning?



please put your input for this daily driver, GREATLY appretiated

If they are dual 2's and you wire them to 1ohm like below, each will see around 550RMS which is close to optimal. 1.4 @ 32hz should be ok. Yes they will be loud and yes they will have good SQ. For the money your setup will be hard to top.

yes it is new. It's probably because the new line from RF is coming out or is out.

thanks snow for info, NEW!!!


is the RF worth 160$ more knowing that its fan cooled(dont like amps getting hot)??

ive heard the T-series are great amps, and they say a t200bd does from 2001rms to like 2800rms, is that also true?

i emailed them and they said it was brand new in original box, ima order it (t2001bd)


IF i change to a 1 15 setup in good box what will be better outa HDC3 ALUM 15, or fully loaded FI BTL 15???


the hdc3 alum will prob be about 4.5 @ 38hz

the btl loaded box would prob be 4.5 @ 34hz



i know i may lose sq going with the hdc3, but outa those exact setups wat yall think will be louder??

no1 around here has anything other than mainstream, so i wannashow em a LOUD 1 sub setup in my lil malibu


i do appretiate the input, thanks

Fi, simply because it would still be loud as h3ll on that amp and it would have some sound quality to it.

it would be a LOUD daily driver, and a good one!

IMHO, i would still do the 4 type-rs... more cone area than a single 15. so it should be louder on the same power (install dependent)

well thanks all,

abarca

since the 4 r's will still prob be louder thats wat ill still get then

the only thing is my buddy said he heard 4 r 12's in a caprice trunk, and his audiopipe 15's would kill them. although he does tell lots of stories

i found the r 10's for 105 each with shipp lol

when people say "oh i heard 4 blahs in a blah.." its just what they think or could be a lie.

with 4 type-rs, the car would need electrical upgrades to give them their full potential power and lots of power. what amp did the guy have? was the box built to alpines specs? what vehicle was it in?

its easier to get an suv or hatchback loud than a trunk car. theres wayyy too many variables when comparing systems. especially when it comes from a friend who doesnt know much...

well with the RF T20001BD if i stick with alpine subs, what will be louder both at 32hz daily driver, i may even take the top part of seat of, till i need it again

i know i keep saying this vs that but this is FINAL



4 type r 10's @ 32hz, subs up port back

2 type r 15's @ 32hz, subs up port on side in back (because size of trunk)

i have a 2 10s box job to do for a guy & today i tried 1 of those 10" R in a box really made for a 12" R which i had a while now sitting here , i simply make a circle to cover the 12" hole & put in the 10" just to try it out

...sub is brand new , this slot port box is tuned 32hz & the sound was quite amazing ... got loud for just 1 10" i cud see some slight shaking on my steering & sq on it was very good so i expect it to sound really good when i do the correct box for 2 10s

so if u do 4 of these in the proper box for subs that cost only about $115 each u will have IMO a excellent SQL set ....

now reading back ur 1st post : i hope u have taken into acct available cuft AFTER subs & ports displacement

since 4 10s do take up considerable space ...

yea lol, after port and subs displacement, its very close

5.6 @ 32hz, maybe 32.2 or something

BOX
width 34"
height 15"
length 28"

PORT
width 4"
height 13.5"
lenght 19"


but thats after subtracting .05 x 4 subs = .20

and subtracting 5.5w x 13.5h x 19L

shud be ok

i tried these in a 1.75cuft - sub moved only about 1\2-3\4" quite smoothly , not that im saying to follow me exactly

u cud probably add some pollyfill in that box if u dont have more space ...

sound sound great and get loud if done right. I've impressed with RFs T line of amps, I didn't like the P series though. My setup is gonna be 3 sound splinter RL-i 10s on a hifonics bxi2008

Rovin

i can go up to 2 inches wider and 2 inches deeper


i may re design it if u think 1.75 is really good for those, wont take butta minute lol



Kyle

those SS RL-i 10's are great subs imo, heard 2 12's, had GREAT sq to me, the output didnt really impress me though... jmo

although i know they sound SWEET and i mean SWEET

but actually rovin, i usually do a good bit bigger than max rec ported, with my boxes lol

the boxes that i have done bigger than recommended always turned out really good too

just make sure that box\boxes can enter the opening of ur trunk when ur done

with a bit of over sizing & of course low 30s tuning u get those heavier sounding lows

90% of rec specs from most main stream companies r on the small side since most ppl wud like a small enclosure in their rides & usually suck when compared to a bigger enclosure - what i tell ppl is u r afraid of over sizing go with MAX rec specs rather than optimal

whta i tried yesterday was 1.75 in a slot ported box but im going to try a similar size for a guy with 1 4" pvc since he wants trunk space so im doing that than slot port ...
