Upgrading, looking for input.

Joshua M. Jones Silver Member Username: Jones82joshua Yankton, SD USA Post Number: 106 Registered: Sep-07	Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 00:32 GMT Currently running a 15" Alpha off 1500 watts rms, 3.5@34 hz. Thinking about going to 2 Re sx 15"s 6@34 off the same power. input please?

They can handle more power yes, but would operate just fine on anything within their power handling... just not showing their full potential. As is true for any speaker.

I say if ur going to upgrade then go bigger on power and cone area. Get another alpha and amp. Properly gain match amps. Or 3 12s in the same space should be louder. 3 of those JBL D6 subs wire down to 1ohm

Jones Silver Member Username: Jones82joshua Yankton, SD USA Post Number: 107 Registered: Sep-07	Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 12:48 GMT I have 2 clarion dpx11500's, and if I find another alpha I'll end up buying a bigger alt and hooking up the other amp. If I don't, I'm looking at around $700 for subs. I'm not sure how much different the specs are from the v2 to the v3, and because of that, would they fight with each other?
Joshua M. Jones Silver Member Username: Jones82joshua Yankton, SD USA Post Number: 108 Registered: Sep-07	Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 14:11 GMT and as for goals, I want as much output as I can get, without sacrificing good clean sound. Space isn't a big issue either.

kyle Silver Member Username: Armykyle1 Ms Us Post Number: 939 Registered: Dec-08	Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 18:30 GMT I say buy another alpha. They're good solid subs. If ur gonna do it, do it once and do it right. 4 Diamond D6 12s would slam and sound really good.

-Eric- Gold Member Username: Livin_loud MW2 Addict Post Number: 3089 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Tuesday, March 30, 2010 - 22:43 GMT in all honesty probably not a whole lot, but i wouldn't give them 1800w regardless.
Joshua M. Jones Silver Member Username: Jones82joshua Yankton, SD USA Post Number: 110 Registered: Sep-07	Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 02:34 GMT how about 3000 watts if I'm able to get the sx's AND upgrade electrical?
-Eric- Gold Member Username: Livin_loud MW2 Addict Post Number: 3092 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 03:17 GMT that would be t!ts.
M.S. Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18 Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11018 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 03:24 GMT Don't get upset bc you posted something that could be misleading. You said the sub needs more power, as if it wouldn't work with less.
Joshua M. Jones Silver Member Username: Jones82joshua Yankton, SD USA Post Number: 111 Registered: Sep-07	Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 13:21 GMT how does the sx compare to the alpha anyways? anybody know?
-Eric- Gold Member Username: Livin_loud MW2 Addict Post Number: 3093 Registered: Jan-06	Posted on Wednesday, March 31, 2010 - 23:05 GMT .. because everybody knows subs don't work with a little less power than needed to optimally perform sorry Joshua i guess M.S. thinks you're retarded and would think that lol. i actually haven't heard either driver, so i can't tell you. going by numbers, the sx has a lower FS (lower octave play) and slightly more xmax. but the alpha should handle more power. i like RE products more than RD though, but the gap decreased since Scott left. http://www.rdaudio.net/alpha/alpha.htm http://www.reaudio.com/specs.html#sp_sex
Kyle Longbrake Silver Member Username: Kyle_lowe Post Number: 1000 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2010 - 02:00 GMT the sx's are about 10x sexier looking imo both are quality products but i still say go with the sx's
Kyle Longbrake Gold Member Username: Kyle_lowe Post Number: 1001 Registered: Apr-06	Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2010 - 02:03 GMT im talking about the old style sx's though
M.S. Platinum Member Username: Nd4spd18 Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 11024 Registered: Jul-06	Posted on Thursday, April 01, 2010 - 02:15 GMT You would be surprised how many ppl actually do think that... esp new users on this forum... not saying any one here is one, just in general.
