Hodges Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 I just bought a brand new 15" RE SX for $132.. I have never owned a 15" sub and have never owned any non mainstream subs like RE.. I do have lots a room for a good big ported box..Going in the rear of my Caravan.. Any one know of a good box design/plans for this sub..Im going to be using it daily and I would like it to get loud but sound good doing it...Dont need a all out "balls to the wall" SPL box or SQ box but a good mix would be nice. RE SX OWNERS... How do you like your Re SX sub? I was wondering exactly how much power I should give it and do I need to go through a break in process or not... Also did I get a decent deal on this sub? Any way..if you have any info, suggestions, or comments please post em up...Thanks guys.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techaninna Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yes you got a good deal on the sub imo. This sub is suggested for ported only so at very least they suggest 3.0cuft. As far as power I would say between 800 and 1000 watts rms would move it very well. You might wait and see is any RE gurus chime in. Also in order to get help making a box you might want to post dimensions of space your willing to lose. Quote Rebuild coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They SOUND GREAT, I was very Impressed with them, they took more than rated power and get LOUD as hell. 2 -12" RE SX 12s on a RF T3000.1 BD@ 1ohm and they bassraced a 144+ sealed up on the dash legal.

Trust me when I say that I DO believe you & I know you know what you are talking about but... I would like to know why you prefer the sub facing up? I no doubt will have the port facing back but I was going to have the sub facing the rear too. Thats the way I have always got the best results from my boxes, but I have never tried having it like you said and I will try that for sure, But why will it sound best with the sub up? Thanks...
