Well good news. The noise is not from the sub. As soon as I took the sub out of the box, the noise stopped. I guess my box building skills are not too good. I will try and build another one sometime this weekend and keep you guys informed. Thanks for the help. Andrew

Ok no problem I will take it out of the box and try to play it and see if it still makes the noise. If it does I will make a quick vid and send it over but I is probably my box. Thanks for the help. Andrew

Ok I have my RL-P in a 1.35 ^3 ft box. It sounds great. I do have one problem though. When I play it loud it sounds like something is hitting inside the sub somewhere. It is a loud and very annoying sound. Obviously I do not play it like this i am scared to mess it up. Some ppl on here are pushing their subs 1200 watts and say it is worling just fine. I am giving mine just about 1000 watts. I think there may someting wrong with my sub. I can make a vid with sound. Do I just attach it like a regular file? Or do you guys already know what is wrong with it. Thanks for the help. Andrew

Ok so for the ported box this is what I came up with. The box itself will be 14.5H x 29W x 13.5D. That will make the box ~2.48^3. Now for the port, the port will be 13H x 2W x 29L which will tune it ~31hz, there will then be 26^2 inches of port and the port will take up .436^3 ft. So I think that will make the box ~1.9 after all calculations and displacement figures. I hope I did all of that right please let me know what you think. Thanks for taking a look at this for me. Andrew

Ok so far for the sealed box I have come up with a box that 14H x 15W x 10.5D all are outside dimensions, which seems to be 1.53 before displacement and 1.35 after. Now I will post the ported box next.

I'm back again with another question. I am going to go pick up my boards tom. so I can start building. The guy at the Lumber yard told me that I may want to also think about using MDO board because It is a little stronger. I have never heard of this being used for sub boxes or if it can be used. If anyone has any experiece with this please let me know remember price is not an issue I just want the best that I can get. Thanks for all the help so far. I will post pics of sub and box plans as soon as I come up with them. Thanks again.

Thanks for the help mrray I think I might try and build both and see which I like better. Girlfriends Dad + Lumber Yard = Free MDF Anyways If it is ok I might post pics of my plans in here and if you have a sec., could you just take a glance and see if I made any stupid mistakes. Thanks man.

I just finished ordering my Rl-p 12, and I cant wait to get it. I think i messed up a little, see what I did was buy an amp before sub thinking that I was going to get a different sub, but now I decided on this one. The first problem I have is way too much power I beleive. I have the Lanzar Opti 2000D, which will put out 1100 at 2 ohms. I will obviously keep the gains turned down. The main point of this post is the enclosure for me that will handle some of that power and sound good doing it. It seems that most ppl around here say to try this thing sealed, but I have a few questions about that first. The kind of music I listen to is country, rock, and some rap, so I need it to play those notes that I need. So what do you guys think sealed or ported. Also size? 2^3 maybe? Any help would be appreciated. And dont worry I will post pics and vids when finished , I noticed that all of you like those. Thanks in advance for the help. Andrew
