RE subs for sq use


TeejayBee

Recommended Posts

Im still wondering why you would want to over-power a sub when your goal is SQ? It makes no sense to me. I built a box for a pair of 12" Q's and it sounded great, but it wasn't an SQ setup, however it did have a decent sound to it while being damn loud.

OP, I think you need to sit down and really think what it is you want to do. It seems like every time I see a thread you started its you trying to take your blazer in a different direction. Take some time and think about what your wallet will allow and what you really want. It's stupid to build two completely different systems for you truck depending on what you want to listen to. Basically I'm saying don't talk about it, be about it.

My System:

Pioneer AVH-P3200BT

4-Dayton 7 inch reference series (front doors)

8-Onkyo 3/4 inch tweeters (dash)

1-Sundown Audio 100.4D (mids/highs)

2-18" BTL's (for now)

Crescendo 3kwp (for sale)

Complete rebuild coming soon...

i recommend slightly over rms for dynamic headroom and great low end extension...you just have to have clean signal and self control on the volume knob.

i know for a fact the RE SE 15 will take a 1000 watts daily.. im running one off a AQ2200D at 2ohm (rated at 1300watts) just send it a clean signal and it will be ok =]

that they will...mine didnt like it one bit..but over the course of a year of pretty hard daily driving the coils only darkened a shade or two and i only smelled them mildly a handful of times..i would say that the application is deff not for your AVERAGE user

ResonantEngineering and SQ.... a proven combination!

I had a 12" SX for over 4 years, (playing at 3kw) and became European Champion with EMMA´s SQ experienced 5 channel with this setup.

One week later i became BeNeLux Vice Champion DBdrag street-A (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) without any changes to this setup.

So, the answer to your question is YES IT IS!

And about daily to much (rms) power at the woofers....

That´s no problem (even recommended by me) just as long as you know how to handle your gain.

The real question is, what is SQ in your eyes?

Just because most people wouldn´t use 2x(!) 15"(!) for SQ

btw, i am still competing in SQ and use at this moment a single 15" TREO CSX 15.22 @ 5kw

So ignore all replies that say big woofers and overpowering isn´t SQ

(the positive side of this is you can play SQ and SPL and DBdrag.... so let´s call it ALLROUND) ;)

I wouldn't put 1000wrms on an SE ever again... around 800wrms is about all they like before getting stinky.

Seen two cook off 1kwrms daily....with CLEAN power.... one lasted 2 months the other about 4months.... If you like playing your subs for more than 30secs to 1 min then get a higher end sub....
