RE 15 MT VS RE 15 XXX

LowLife Gold Member Username: Loc_out Santa Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 1469 Registered: Feb-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 16:20 GMT I've had my 15 XXX for over a year now. I'm now getting to the point were my sub does seem loud anymore. I am powering my XXX with a Mmats 2100.1 1550RMS. I am thinking of buy a 15 MT but dont know how much sq i will lose. What do you guys think i should do?

If you're concerned about SQ, then you're in the wrong area. 15XXX should be loud with SQ. RE 15" MT is loud with some SQ. It really depends on the box's volume and port frequency. I had mine around 35Hz. With 1200w - 1500w, it'll sake everything in your car, as well as trigger car alarms. My MT is collecting dust now cause I can't use it for daily driving. If you're interested, I'd sell for a good price/trade for a SQ sub/JL amp.

However, I don't know if you'll notice a HUGE difference on that amount of power. I don't have experience with RE except for the SX, so maybe someone else can help you better. I can tell you that the MT will get louder off more power if you upgraded amps too. JMO

Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16188 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 17:13 GMT btw how much you want for that xxx? i'll be pissed if i don't get first dibs on it.
Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6852 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 17:17 GMT Too late, I responded first! MT can handle way more power than XXX so of course it'll naturally be louder. SQ will depend on the box's volume and port frequency. I've tested it myself. You'll get similar answer from RE tech support.

Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16192 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 17:55 GMT o lol. sorry. the mt does sound pretty good. but i wouldn't recomend it for the music you like. if you can't find another xxx then look for another pair of subs.
LowLife Gold Member Username: Loc_out Santa Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 1473 Registered: Feb-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 17:57 GMT Do you think if I few it 2000 RMS I will notice I big difference? I think kevin here might be selling his.
Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6855 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 18:12 GMT MT is good with songs with lot of heavy bassssssss.
Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6856 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 18:16 GMT Chad if you're that close to him, then you win. Can't beat free shipping. I'll trade my RE 15" MT for 8" - 10" JL W7.

Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16195 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 18:52 GMT you need 2 15s. you can get 2 L7's. those subs hit when playing corridos. lol.

Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6857 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 20:53 GMT Chris, that's not true. MT with lots of volume space and low port frequency, will give you SQL. Don't get caught up on the hype.

Joey DeSalvo Gold Member Username: 420alldaylong Post Number: 3036 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 21:28 GMT It's night and day when comparing MT/XXX. The people I know that run the RE MT don't give a sh!t about SQ all they want is loud/SPL. RE MT's are not SQL drivers.

Email Post Number: 4330 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 22:10 GMT if you really think about it there is no such thing as an SQL driver.. it is either SQ or SPL .. almost any sub at a lower volume tuned low will sound good presenting sql.. given the proper design box and a clean signal lowlife.. IMO.. throw more power to the XXX or get a second one.. i finally got my box in my car and to be honest the XXX did not please me in the SPL range.. everyone said it got loud and sounded great but my SX got louder.. i need to test with more power and try tuning higher.. it does hit the lows amazing though.. can't imagine two of them .. but 1 just is not cutting it for me right now
LowLife Gold Member Username: Loc_out Santa Ana, Ca Resonant Eng... Post Number: 1480 Registered: Feb-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 22:43 GMT Kevin you got pic of your box? I thought you were doing sealed? I think i am going to work on getting a second one.

RayRay Gold Member Username: Basssquared Kansas Post Number: 1705 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 23:02 GMT my 15" RE SX just came in like ten minutes ago wow is it beautiful now to get started on the box what do you recomend again Kevin?

Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6860 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 23:10 GMT Joey, do you own a RE MT sub? Have you called the tech support? Have you designed a box for it? Have you tested it out? Before you say something's something or give strong opinion, please have facts and proofs. I have purchased RE 15" MT sub, designed a box as per RE's tech support, tuned the port to 35Hz, used 1800w RMS amp, with HO alternator, and tested it out. Played test tones as well as full music. It's NOT all bout SPL with MTs. It's all in the design. So please be more accurate next time. Thank you. ps. I bet you'd fail a blind test between my MT vs other SQ subs at 1200w - 1500w RMS. I'm 99.9999% sure.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4336 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 23:16 GMT ^^ thats what i was saying.. anything in a proper enclosure can sound decent no amtter what sub
Isaac Gold Member Username: Carguy Post Number: 6862 Registered: Nov-04	Posted on Thursday, December 20, 2007 - 23:48 GMT Too many people assume just cause a sub was in the SQ section, that it'll automatically sound great and SPL will sound like $hit. Unless you take time and money to actually design and test it, you'll never know.
Joey DeSalvo Gold Member Username: 420alldaylong Post Number: 3038 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 00:57 GMT Isaac NO I don't own a RE MT(and I never will) a couple of my friends have/had them. Yes I called RE/US Amps tech support and they said if you want SQ get the RE XXX and if you want loud/SPL get the RE MT. LowLife If you want SQ stick with the RE XXX and add more power.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4341 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:01 GMT we understand what they said.. but look at it this way.. the XXX can get loud (spl) and the MT can sound good (SQ) .. Lol
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16201 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:03 GMT he already has 2000wrms going to his xxx. you don't need to give it more. find another xxx. joey i love the way the mt's sound. last year there was a dude with an integra. he had 2 mt 15s in a 8cu ft ported box. it sounded clean. yes they are geared towards spl but giving them decent power in a nicely built box for music, you can make them sound good. if you don't believe me, go to termpro forum and look up redbaron80. he is the one with the mt 15s. lol.
Joey DeSalvo Gold Member Username: 420alldaylong Post Number: 3040 Registered: Sep-06	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:10 GMT My bad I misread I thought he had a 1000 watts on the RE XXX.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4342 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:10 GMT i thought he said he was powering it with 1550rms
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16202 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:12 GMT my bad as well. lol. kev is right.
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16203 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:13 GMT also i am telling him to get 15s in there cause he has enough space and then some. he has a chevy avalanche. the box is in the bed and it is opened to the cabin.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4343 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:15 GMT i agree with two.. but he would notice more out of that sub with more power.. how about 2500rms.. or two on 5000rms Weeeeeeee
cam Gold Member Username: •cam• BC Canada Post Number: 1332 Registered: Nov-06	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:16 GMT "i thought he said he was powering it with 1550rms" Same. Maybe it's underrated.
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16204 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:16 GMT but you don't need to push that sub with that much power. it is efficient. besides he can just get 2 with 3000wmrs and will sound awesome. re rates them at 1600wrms.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4344 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:19 GMT they will still be louder on 2500rms over 1500rms even given their rms and efficiency my SX gained .5dB going from 1200rms to 1800rms
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4347 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:20 GMT but on another note.. RE under-rated their subs.. except the low models my SX didn't come alive until 1500+ rms .. a good 50%+ over their rated 1000rms
Chad Lee Platinum Member Username: Bestmankind -apem Post Number: 16207 Registered: Oct-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:27 GMT i know what you are saying. i wouldn't hesitate to put 2500wrms on those babies. but with the sh!tload of space he has, he would benefit more with another one. of course he would still need more power.
¤Jack_ké££iñgoñ¤ Gold Member Username: Frkkevin Resonant Engineering..., Fort Worth... Email Post Number: 4348 Registered: Nov-05	Posted on Friday, December 21, 2007 - 01:59 GMT no doubt.. 2 XXX 15"s on 5000rms
