Re Sx?

[Slapuhho]

Okay, as some of you may know I have recently had an RE SX 15 in my car. I have been having a few difficulties with some things. My first concern would be the weird sound the sub makes if you push it in, it sounds like it's scratching, is that supposed to happen? Another concern would be it's consistency, sometimes It sounds clean as fuck, and then sometimes it sounds like shit and it sounds different. I have done everything possible to fix the rattling and it's for the most part gone away. At the same time it really doesn't sound that great, the sound quality and the loudness isn't good at all. I have the thing powered perfectly and my volts stay high. I'm very concerned about this considering I make minimum wage and I spent my paychecks on this. Are these things common in any way or did I just get unlucky? I am in no way saying RE makes bad products because they don't, they make wonderful subs and wonderful amps but I really would like some closure on my problems.

Thanks,

Alex.

well if you hear scratching its usually pretty simple..

you either could have debris in the gap

or the coil is scatching

you also have to remember it only does what u tell it to do... if u played a bunch of clipped rap/rock music it isnt going to sound good at all... if you have done everything properly it should sound great

people say sx's arent the best with sq, but get loud.... but to almost any normal person with average ears it should sound just fine

recones are $100-140 total fyi... have you measure each coil seperatly on a dmm?

It's brand new, I don't play clipped songs, I audacity every song I play. It's just kinda weird because one day it will sound amazing and the next day it will sound bad.

I know sometimes when the temparture is cold outside my subs usually dont sound as good as they do when the weather is normal around here 80-90*, on the days that you sub sounds crappy any different weather wise than the days it sounds good?

I haven't really monitored the weather but it hasn't been below 65 when I got it and I don't play it in rain.
