RL-p15 in small sealed (d'oh)

Recommended Posts

Hi, guys!

Since I bought my RL-p15 (dual 2 ohm) earlier this year, I just know there can't be another sub out there to match this truly super woofer when it comes to price/LSQ/fun/pleasure. :D

I had a LSQ setup in my Civic, did 144.4dB legal on the new TL. With small ports and a cheap ass amp I figure that's pretty decent!

Now I've sold my Civic HB, and bought a little funny jap - Honda Del Sol (the "little two-seat Vtec-beast"). Thing is, I still want to use my RL-p15!

So I sacrificed a little seat travel, and bent my knees for some awesome beats from this little rascal. A fiberglass enclosure behind/between the seats should do it, right?

Now we're getting to the main issue - how do you think my little baby will sound in a 1,5cuFt sealed enclosure? Hopefully I'll get this much volume - I have to measure when I'm done building.

I think I have to fill it with polyfill/fiberglass insulation. Anyone know where to get this? I live in Norway, though, international shippers will be appreciated.

Will be happy to get to know your experiences/thoughts around this.

well, SS recommends that the Rl-P 15 is good for 1.5 cube to 2.5 cube sealed enclosures, with 2.1 cubes being the best for a flat response that goes low. so i would say, with 1.5 cubes and tons of polyfil, you could get that up to 1.9 cubes, so i would say you would be fine.

That's what I was hoping! :)

Sorry for my lazyness, I could just've checked the recommendations myself. Another d'oh!

Thanks!

That will be cool in such a small car, I'd love to see pics. What are you powering it with?

As for the polyfill, I have no idea on international shipping but maybe a recommendation to find some. Goto the SEAS speaker website and find the local dealer, and they will know.

Good idea! The SEAS factory is only an hours drive away from here too, maybe I'll ask them directly about their prefered polyfill product.

I have a dealer within an hour also. :)

The RL-p will receive its power from a SoundMagus X-3000 (www.soundmagus.com). China product with good specs (allthough a bit hopefully rated) and very good power delivery. Strong and cheap, just the way I like my women.... uh... amps.

:D
