Question

hi guys , I haven't once yet heard a single person even mention the MTX RFL, is that just not a good sub? when it came out, it sold like hots cakes, everybody had one, now, not a soul even mentions them.. what happened? [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

i believe they didnt perform too well unless u throw tons of power at them. there were other subs that out performed RFL's when it comes to spl if u only have 2-3k rms to the sub.

LOL, cool, due to finances, I can't otherwise I would just for the heck of it. how do they sound? any good? Im saving up for a down payment towards a house down in Lake worth Florida, otherwise Id put those on my wish list. so is that why nobody uses them? in comps, is the number of woofers, what is considered, or the number of amps

How do they sound? ...heh... they sound like crap.

They aren't made to sound good, they're made to be loud. I have only heard of one or two people that used the subs in their daily ride. Otherwise they are for SPL competitions only.

I was told the FS is 98 or something absurdly high like that.. is that the case? if it was, that is SO VERY high, I can see why the sub would be unusable for ANYTHING other then SPL

yes the sub is made to reproduce rather high notes, too high for daily music anyways. I think they were ment for the application in the Extreme and super street classes where most cars are set up to burp from mid 60's to high 70's hz notes.

and yes they sound very very bad for daily music

also 3k rms is not much at all, thats what me and Livin Loud were giving to each of our 12's last season. RFL's would need more than that to perform well.

ya they don'tsound good... LOL. if you were t give them about 6000+ watts they would get loud, like ina super street vehcile, or extreme, as father has mentioned.

otherwise, for music they wouldn't be my first choice! lol.
