#s on rlp18 setups?

Has anyone gotten their rlp18s metered yet?

Might be too early to tell.

To be brutally honest, as I've never had a personal interest in the SPL arena, I've never had a knack for marketing towards those customers - and so, I firmly believe that the majority of my customers simply don't use SoundSplinter drivers to get an SPL score metered since in making a sale, I can relate considerably better to those who are looking for solid, balanced low-frequency reinforcement in their sound stage (even though given the few reports I've seen, our drivers certainly can be used for SPL races if you are so inclined).

I mean hey, if a pair of our 8's can chase 150 dB.. I imagine the 18's are no slouch by any means!

it depends alot on the car... and how much power you got and most importantly the enclosure... IMO with one of these with 1krms with a good electrical and a sweet vented box you should not be below 140db thats for certain....

I think i read the required port area was a min. of 80 sq inches?? or maybe im off... What would that come to in cubic feet?

I made a pretty good score with my 2 Rl-p 12's in a Civic Hatchback. I made a 148.3@49 hz. Thats with a daily install.

I don't plan on competing with them. It just seems like a waste of good subwoofers.

Square inches can't equal cubic feet, but in square feet it would be (80/12)/12 = .56sqft

Basically i was wanting to know how big a box would be with airspace and all displacements, using the reccomended 5 cubes and reccomended port area (slot port)?

I tried to use subwoofertools.com and it gave me a 12 cube box, and the port was larger than the 5 cube airspace portion.
