New Sub/Amp company

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 404 Registered: Feb-06 | As many of you may know, I am the owner of Low-hz.com. The site will be up and running fully soon hopefully. It still has a few bugs that need to be worked out. Anyways, I just wanted to let you know that there is a new audio company out there that I myself have been very interested in ever since hearing about them. And I would like to tell you about my findings so far. The company is Rd Audio and their website is www.rdaudio.net. That is just a basic outline of what their site will be like, but I was informed the real site will be up within a month or two with updated product pictures and specs. The owner of the company was a past shop owner, and has had many years expieriance in the car audio world. Don't know the exact details for how long he owned the shop, but he must have done very well, since coming out with the line of subs and amps he has costs a LOT of money. Not to mention after testing some of his products, he does make solid equipment. Right off the bat many of you will notice that their subs bare a striking resemblance to Atomic products. That is because they are built in the same buildhouse, and many of the models RD carries branches off from atmomic products. Already though, they have changed a lot of the parts and are moving farther and farther away from the direction atomic went in. To date I have tested two of their series of drivers. The Elite SPL, and the Alpha series. With a single 15" Elite SPL we hit 149 db's at 45hz on a TL. With 2 Alpha 18's we hit around 150 db's tuned between 28-30hz. That also was on a TL as well. The Elite SPL sounded decent, and got very loud for such a nicely priced driver, and the alpha which is more of a SQL driver got very loud as well but the sq on it was the most impressive part. Any sub that plays that low, and gets that loud, and still sounds that good is a very solid SQL driver. The Elite spl is rated at 1000rms daily, and we burped it at 4000rms with no problems at all. The alphas are rated at 2000rms and the pair was run off of a IA 40.1 when metered. A second 40.1 will probably be strapped to them in the future. Also, most of the RD subs can be custom built. They offer different options depending on what your specific substage goals are. So that is another thing I really liked about the company. Shipping of course takes longer when they custom build each sub, but overall the products are much better. I will be testing the other subs in the near future, so I will let you know what I find out about them as well. In the meantime if you have any questions about the company, I would be more than happy to answer them. You can contact me at Ben@low-hz.com or just write any comments/questions in here. Hope you all learned something new! |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 405 Registered: Feb-06 | Agreed. And I have been asking my webmaster that question for quite some time now. We probably have about 50 products that I would really like to sell, but we are having tons of problems trying to upload them onto the site. I got a new guy working on it now, so hopefully very soon we will get them all up and things will be working again. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 407 Registered: Feb-06 | Well prices are going to be higher once the brand gets established. But right now I am giving out some real good deals on their subs. For example a 12" Elite SPL which can handle 1000rms daily and 4000rms for burps would be right around $275 shipped to your door. $275 for a 12" that will hit in the high 140's and handle that much power is a very good priced driver. The alphas will run about $100 more per sub than the Elite SPL's. But for a SQL driver that can handle 2000rms daily, and can be custom built more towards SPL or more towards SQ depending on your taste, that is also a very good price. So pricing is VERY low right now. But once the name really gets out there, prices are going to increase. But even after prices are set normally they will still be a great deal considering the quality of the subs. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 408 Registered: Feb-06 | Yeah, I got the amp prices but they don't seem to be very low. I haven't tested them at all yet, so I am going to wait to comment on them. But once I get some more info on the amps I will let you guys know. |

Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 409 Registered: Feb-06 | $300 shipped for the Elite SPL 15. And the prices will be good for probably around a month. It really depends on how quickly the name gets out there. But for now I am just trying to get the name out, and I know once people test them out their quality will speak for themselves. |

Gold Member Username: Extrmndor3IF U HEAR ME... I GOT KING K... Post Number: 4024 Registered: Feb-06 | how much for the 5k rms amp???? |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 412 Registered: Feb-06 | The 5000.1 would be $1400 shipped to your door. |

Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 1294 Registered: Jul-06 | Ouch. |
|
Silver Member Username: ShowridesHartford, CT USA Post Number: 414 Registered: Feb-06 | Same price as a IA 40.1 which puts out 4000rms  But like I said, I am not commenting on their amps until I test them out. There are 2000rms amps that sell for $1400 because of their quality. So I don't want to judge them solely based on price. |
