I've got the blues

[cougarballa2k5 0]

I know that this new RL-p setup has got to be loud. I know it will be.

In the back of my mind I can't quit thinking, oh my gosh what if it isn't??

I keep thinking that a small box woofer doesn't lend itself to getting too loud.

I'm coming from a 15" Ascendant Audio Atlas in 4.8NET @ 31hz. What I am wanting out of this setup is the following....

Twice as loud as the Atlas.

More authority in the 60-80hz region, where the atlas lacked.

By the numbers, it should be at least twice as loud, but I keep thining...its audio, chit doesn't always happen how formulas say, I may be dissapointed.

I've got twice the cone area, 6mm more linear excursion, and the output advantage of not being xbl^2 oriented.

Uhhh... is there a question? Did I miss something???

Just trying to reassure myself outloud.

The question would be; What do you think?

you going from a 15 to a 12? or to a 15? either way i dont see double the volume,twice the power only gives a smallin crease in output and twice the cone area the same? so doubleing your output is unlikely!

autority in the lower freqs however with an rl-p, you will get

lol I get the same feeling everytime I do something new to the car. But i've always figured out a way to make it work!

40's and 50's have been hit on different mics using rl-p's (15's)..so they have the capability of getting loud. twice as loud as what u currently have? i have no clue. with the increased cone area and xmax, u should definitely be louder, but no clue as to how much, too many varibles...

also, all frequencies should be reinforced as well as output. not just because of brand switch, but because ur increasing potential output...of course, the rl-p is a really nice sub, which tends to reproduce all frequencies strongely. and of course, enclosure is going to be a importance here as well (for the output as well)

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Going from a 15 w/ 18mm excursion on 400 watts

to

Two 15s w/ 24mm excursion on 2000 watts
