Question

Hey folks


Picked up an RE XXX 12 a few months ago to replace my two alpine's but it's not quite loud enough for what i wanted. So i'm lookin at the possibility of pickin up another.

Now i've heard that their subs changed. Does that mean i'm somewhat screwed in buying new and they i'll have to find a used or someone that still has a new 05 sub?

or are the changes so minimal it won't matter or what?

oh no - the brand-new XXX chassis is a radical redesign. They are not even CLOSE to the 05 model you have - and you'll likely be waiting a while for release dates.

Sorry bud....

Yes the new XXX replacement is rumoured to be quite different.
Try playing around with different enclosures.

1200w or whatever a viper 1200.1 puts out for it....i assume between 1200 and 1300...


3.5 cf @ 31hz with 37 sq" o port


like it sounds decent....other than having a bit more low end and less high end than my alpines, not that it's a bad thing...just brings out other imperfections in my stereo heh. But it's about equivalent to my alpines (of which the box i'm not 100% sure what its specs were other htan ported). Overall, it's a bit quieter, but close.

yes sir....unless i'm retarded. But yeah pretty sure it's at one ohm. There is the possible chance that i messed up the wires, but i checked them about a million times, so i'd say 1ohm.
