bullet0597 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Ok, so, I had originally wanted to wall my cavi with 4 soundstream RW 12s, have the subs and enclosures, but decided now, I want to go up from the RWs to the T5s....my question is, is there really a big difference in them?as far as sound? louder? SQ? Also, my enclosures for my RWs are 2.25 cubic foot per sub, with a 2" slot port, per sub, tuned to 32HZ...would I need to build new enclosures for the t5s or will they be fine in the enclosures I have now for the RWs? Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Edited January 25, 2011 by bullet0597 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just curious on how much those lambo door hinges cost. could have had a really nice system for what those cost alone.

They make great everything... Second, the car looks kind of sick to me, i wouldn't feel like a dumbass in it. Third, there called vertical doors, or scissor doors. not lambo doors. Lamborghini didn't invent that look, at all. It was on an alfa romeo first. As for the Op, 2.25 cubes is actually closer to the recommended size for the t5, than it is for the Reference. They may sound slightly different, but i'd say it'll be better, as for loudness, if your giving them the same power, they'll probably be about the same.

As for the subs, I would be giving the t5s their rated power, maybe a bit more in a burp...since they are rated for more...the main thing im worried about is if the port area is ok from the RW enclosures.....the port is 16 3/4" long, 16" high, and 2" per sub.....if it would be better since soundstream recommends a 4" port for the t5s, I could take out the divider making the port a common port for 2 subs, making the port 4 3/4".....just some ideas i came up with, not sure what would be better.....i was wanting to go to the t5s if i could, if i could use the same enclosures, and them be a bit louder...

ChevyBoy95 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I personally love soundstreams equipment, have run the tarantula series stuff for 2 years no problem. As forthe t5s, they will put in work.

bullet0597 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Sweet. Thanks for the input guys! Only bad thing I have heard was that on the t5s they used cheap glue to glue the surround to the cone and it separates, but thats not a big deal, can easily be fixed... My main concern now is port area and these enclosures being ok for the t5s....ive looked everywhere online but cant seem to find anything that gives me an answer as far as port area, all the calculators come up with crazy numbers....i got exact enclosure measurements now if they could help in someone helping mme find the port area? I would really appreciate it! Thanks! Enclosure (Outer dimensions, wood thickness included- 0.75" MDF) 20" deep 15" tall 40" wide Port dimensions (Dimensions PER port, total of 4 ports, 1 per sub, inside dimensions, wood thickness not included) - (SLOT PORTS) - 13.5" tall 2.5" wide 22" long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
