LMT driver for HT use????

[kramskoi 0]

will we EVER see an LMT driver which is optimized for home theater use? The Tumult 15d2 should have some competition in this area. That said, i would just love to get my hands on an rls-15 and put it in a sealed box with a LT circuit or Bassis unit. If we could only get some good T/S...

Ummm, if you've got the power and space the Rls WILL work great for HT.

[Impious 1,476]

Agreed.

That's really it's ideal enviornment.

that is my dream HT sub

It is more of an HT driver than mobile.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

agreed, I mean why would you think that a sub that needs a really large box is best suited or geared toward mobile use.

I'm trying to decide between

pair of 15" Kodas

one 15 or 18" tumult

one 15" SS LMT

any advice?

oh, and I have at least 2200wrms at 4ohm

LMT> Tumult

LMT> Tumult

have you ever heard a LMT or a Tumult?

I wasn't online when you responed.

Yeah I've heard my friends pair of 15" tumults off of plenty of power as well as his pair of 18" XXX's but no I haven't heard LMT

can you describe the diff (just lower distortion etc or what)

with the LTM driver being so in efficent it just seems like a large drawback.

I have plenty of space so I was thinking 10 cubes tuned to 16-18hz. and with that large of an enclosure it shoulnd't be as hard to drive. I think a cool box would be an LMT inverted on the top with the ports on top too (if you saw the room it was going into it would make more sense.

RL-S inverted makes me

the rl-s would be flat out awesome in the 10ft^3 box. though IME, it's not as ineffiecient as the numbers say. with "just" 1200wrms and "just" a 2.5ft^3 box tuned to 32hz(built for my xxx, rl-p h2h), the rl-s was LOW, LOUD and BADASS!! it's responsive, did i mention LOW? it's jsut a flat out awesome driver...

i wish i could comparee it to the tulmuts, but alas, i have yet to hear one. i've read great things about them though. i know this, the rl-s>tumult inverted!! the rl-s is just a sexy beast!!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Anything that's going to drive the RL-S in home is going to push the limits of your house wiring

Definitely would make a badass substage.

[haydenlake 0]

Yeah, I've thought about that. The amp I have is a Tapco J2500 suposedly does 2500wrms at 4ohms. I read a reveiw where the benched it really close to that. My house wireing isn't upgraded or anything but I've used this amp powering quite a few things and it's never shut off, made the lights dim, or anything like that.

My 2hp table saw runs just fine off of these outlets but it won't even work in my neighbors garage (my house is wired before the 3 other houses near it). I'm about 15ft away from the power line).

Since the RLS is so stiff at .9 does this mean it would be good in an IB alignment. If so I could make a T line for it, and that would get subterranian low.

My seating position is near the middle of the room (less bass) when sub is in center between mains. if I fire the sub up do you think this would help spread out the room modes. I reason this might work beause my head will then be the same distance from the reflecting wall (ceiling and floor as it may be) anywhere I am in the room.

anyone heard an LMT and a tumult or can vouche for one over the other.

Unless you want to trip the breaker every time the bass hits i sugest something that isnt as power hungry or a dedicated 20A power line for your HT only.

Which would prob cost you a pretty penny.
