first...welcome to the forum bro!! ok... i've owned teh old xxx and still own the rl-p, kinda tell ya something? anyway, it's like this. the rl-p is underrated, but it won't hold the power the xxx will. is it weaker? no, it makes up for it in other areas. the most power i would recommend for a 12" rl-p is about 1200wrms. does it need it? nope. 5-750 would be perfect. box is going to determine alot of what your sub achieves. go sealed, shoot for around 1-1.25ft^3. ported, aim a bit bigger, 1.5-2ft^3 with a minimum of 25in^2 of port (if you slot port it) tuned from 28-34hz. we'll help ya out if ya need it. amp, well, anything from about 1500wrms to around 2000wrms will be perfect for the rl-ps. too lazy at the moment to look things up..pm flakko about a USAmp. warranty is one year IIRC. customer service is beyond anything you'll ever experience online again. mike is that good. h2h with an xxx, the rl-p got lower and damn near as loud. it took a larger ported box for the xxx to compete on the down lows. even then the rl-p stood it's ground. double kicks to test tones, the rl-p was right with or ahead of the old xxx. it's power handling and the potential to get loud is where the xxx was a bit better sub. but that's not taking anything away from the rl-p, lol, they'll get silly loud. a pair is just awesome. are they worth $450? you bet your ass they are!! and a pair will thump many a sub out there that costs 4 times as much. again, welcome to the board bro!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

when you factor in warranty, customer service and the ability to play music, it's a no brainer.... the diamond easily thumps eDuh.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ands with that... hey jimbo!! i'm out!!!! *poof* wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

but we shouldn't be as long as your behaving bro. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

how's it going good ppl of the IHoP?? i had a very nice, relaxing day for a change. the old lady and i got on the scoot this morning about 8:30 and didn't get home till about 3. 70mph hasn't felt so good... tomorrow is going to be much of the same.... get up at 5:30..on the scoot at 6:30, registartion and gone by 8:15..nice scenic ride with about 100 (or more) fellow bikers to st.louis where we will watch the ahdra drag racing finals!! hells yes! oh yeah, willie g davidson will be along for the ride. horsepower, tits and famous ppl! throw in a beer or two (riding, gotta stay cool) and tomorrow will be heaven on earth! i can't fuckin wait!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I was going to get one but they were to expensive Id say its 2nd best in mainstream companies to the memphis belle. i'm about to find out..lol.. i love the belle, and the 7005 is stonger on the high end, but a bit weaker on the sub side compared to the little belle, which should make it perfect as the sub channel will be pushing the midbass drivers. steve, aaron...the new L7's ARE that much better. it's a complete difference. dunno why, but they are. that's kinda what prompted me to do this. i mean, i'm completely gutting everything..lol..gonna be fun!!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

alright!! someone to keep him in line!! but for real, welcome sister!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

anywho.. i'm out...booty calls!! i have to answer the call of booty!! peace!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

why are people stupid? i hate people. i do. i can't stand them. especially the really ignorant bastards who get weak minded people to follow them. and when you call them on it, they try to change up the arguement so as to deflect their stupidity away from the discussion. and then get overtly defensive when you call them on that weak ass bullshit. case in point..... i installed 2 pair of memphis sq's in the front doors of an escalade. in the rears went a pair of syncs. these were powered by a memphis pr 100.4. in the back went four 15" memphis mojo's off a pair of hifonics bx1605d's. this was a week ago. yesterday i installed a pair of , are you ready? 8 wrms pa speakers, gold plated. yep, little loud speakers things. this truck sounded good all the way up until then. why? because another moron with three of them sayd that's what they do up north and it sounds good. you can hear the voices.... WHAT? all you can hear is distortion. sure you can hear voices, but it isn't clear. and this truck sounded pretty damn good until you convinced him he needed 4 of them things (we talked him into just using two). how did he respond? by dogging the way my truck looks. WTF does that have to do with the conversation? my truck sounds a shit ton better then both of their trucks and i have no amp or subs. just a clarion h/u and memphis speakers. but at least they are clear. stupid sumbitch best be glad he's a customer of a friend. arrogant POS needs bitched slapped back up north. stupid cocktalker wouldn't know sq if it stuck 6ft of crystal clear sound up his ass. god i should have pounded his bitch ass. le ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGHHH i hate stupid people. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol, elias is right..i HATE the crayola cone. they suck. but hey, whatever works..lol... i'm really liking the carbonfiber cone on the mclass, alot! pwrbass..i not only install memphis but have owned jsut about everything memphis sells. i've ran pr subs, hpo's m3's...pr componets, mclass and sq's...and love the amps. not a thing wrong with memphis, i firmly believe the pr is the absolute best bang for buck sub on the market, period. but nothing memphis has is like the rl-p. the m3 tries, but doesn't do it. to me, all memphis subs, save the mclass, are just about getting loud. and they do that. but he rl-p is about getting loud and sounding awesome doing it. the m3 just doesn't quite make it to rl-p status. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

yep...i have decided upon amps... zx7005: will power the ss componets off the front channels, a pair of 5.25 coaxils off the rear and the sub channel will push the rmb 8's as midbass. zx2005 will push either 4 8L7's or 4 10L7's. still trying to figure out the space issue. kicker hyperflex wiring will replace all wiring in the truck. hopefully actual build time will start next week. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

wow... it's not over for RE. they have a very solid reputation. they will hurt a bit, but like RF, JL and such, people will want the product regardless of price because of name. me? i could care less. i thought RE was all about hype after getting my XXX. it definitely wasn't what it was hyped up to be. and Dave didn't like it getting a soso review either. he's no mike or nick. ascendant, SI, and SS are still here for diy. and SI and SS have products that more then hold their own against Adire, RE, Jl or whomever you want to mention. ( i say nothing about ascendant becuase i've not heard their product) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i'm outa here folks..time for work, and i'm late. but a quick ramble... nah.. fuck it. i'm n a bad mood..better go take a ride and chill out a bit. peace bro's (and sister) wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

very clean, very nice! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

then why is it every time someone asks about them that's the first reply given? are they geared towards spl? no. they are a true sql sub. in most applications, they are geared towards the sq side, but htey have tossed up nice numbers. will 4 rl-p15's get you a 160? dunno. will they be louder then your m3's? more then likely. i own a 12" rl-p and install memphis stuff all day. i'll say this. the rl-p will hold twice the power. 500-600wrms is all the m3 really wants(i'm sure some have thrown more at them, but i know from experience that they won't like more then 500 for long.), the rl-p just gets going. all the way up to about 1200wrms for the rl-p. i wouldn't throw 1200 at a m3. to me, the m3 is a competitor to the rl-i. the mojo is where you'd have to go to compete with the rl-p. and while the mojo can handle more power then the rl-p, there isn't a real chance in hell it'll sound better. get the rl-p's. you'll like them! and if you did a 159.9 with the m3's on your meter, i'd wager you'll break the 160 mark with the rl-ps. but that depends upon power, enclosure and such..drop in? i think the rl-ps will still be louder. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

shit..we can get a pair of 15's sealed behind the seats of the new rams..so the lmt 10 shouldn't ba an issue...lol.. and i've done ported 12's in the older ones... get the 10, let us know..and then sell it to me when your real sub gets there! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I am just curious. But what type of enclosure was the mag in and what type of enclosure was the Rl-p that you heard in? Also, what version of the mag was it and what amps were used? i tested the new mag 15 in 2.5 ported tuned to 34 hz off an orion 2500d @ 1 ohm and 4 ohm the rl-p 12 i own is currently in 2.5ft^3 tuned to 28hz off that same orion at 4 ohm. it's been in 1.25ft sealed, 1 ft sealed, 2 ft ported @ 34hz and it's current box. it's been powered by as little as 750 wrms and as much as 2500. the mag was a lowend monster, as is the rl-p. bieng smaller, the rl-p carried the higher freqs better, but hte magnum is a real sub, no doubt! either is a great choice. both willdo well ported OR sealed, you just have to build the proper enclosure. aaron, specs lend itself to what? real world application is all that matters. if specs is all that matters then we'd be breaking 200db legal with all the physics geeks running around. but what's on paper amounts to squat for the most part when you get in vehicle. the rl-p is more then capable in a sealed box. lends itself to ported? wtf? i don't care what brand it is..the specs get you pointed, building gets you there. trial and error makes it perfect. sorry if i'm snappy...but here lately all i hear about this and that is paper this, specs that. we are trying to hard to read too much into what's on paper and not what happens in car/truck. hell, if paper was that accurate, then sony would hold records too. jsut my .02 cents. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

T.O.P. for me..full of glee...and of pee...need to see....all that be.... i'm going to ebay to look for a motorcycle lift... *poof* wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

lol...pm 007 elias...he works for tcsounds! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ummmm.. she's hot!! and i love that ass pic...DAMN!!! wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

drop the ssi...treo's customer service sucks. damn...the eclipse would be kewl.... as would the rl-i... crap..i dunno..... i vote for the eclipse, but ported. and i get dibs on it when you sell it. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

sometimes i wonder why i bother to do car audio.... at least where i work. things change too damn much. oh well...it pays decent, it's something i love and well, i can't think of anythi.....wait! i get good deals...lol.. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

either..your preference. but if you go round, definitely go aeroport. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
