Picture of what I recently installed in my trunk.

I eventually want to mount them directly behind my seat. This will have to wait a little though .

Those are two powerhouse amps bro. Youll get years of bulletproof performance from em.

PBD, I had to quote him and go directly to the pic likn to see it. I dnt know why it didn't work for me either.

neomagus00

neato...

as far as seeing the pic goes, it was blank till i hit quote, then hit back, and it showed up... 'refresh' might work too

cardomain is blocked at my work, so I can't see the pic at all.

MacLeod

Hmmm. Works just fine for me.

great amps, what do you have the gains at for the RL-i?

seems like more than enough power for 2 let alone one

MacLeod

Oh yeah, I forgot about Vinny being an MTX fan too. Great, I was tired of defending them by myslef all the time. Now if I could just get another JL fan in here Ill be set!

I adjust my gains the typical way. I then add just a little more gain, this is for the music where the bass is very low (an example would be classic rock). I then turn my remote level controller down for typical music, and when I listen to the older stuff with less bass, I just turn the RLC up. My RL-i is a single 4ohm VC version. They only carry the DVC's now. I will be upgrading to a 4ohm DVC RL-p12 in the near future. My amp is putting out 597 watts RMS at 12.5V, so the sub is seeing around 300 watts right now (I think this is all the power this sub needs to sound good, eventhough it can handle more). At 300 watts the little sub sure moves alot, it is pretty impressive to see how much throw this thing has. The RL-p12 will be seeing all the juice that the 801D can through at it .

mtx doesn't stop kickin ****... the only problem i've got with them is that retarded 22" sub.. bunch of stupidity.

MacLeod

No its not. Its for making people notice them just like a demo car. Hell, we're talking about them on 2 different threads!

PoweredByDodge

maybe so - but it takes loyalists and alienates them. it may bring in new blood, but it pisses off the regulars.

MacLeod

Why? I dont understand why somebody would get pissed off because MTX decided to make a big **** sub?

Their current line up of equipment is still excellet quality stuff. Its not like theyre all of a sudden making crap.

I know Mike did some testing with about 3k watts on a pair of RL-i 10's and apparently the new RL-i 8s are going to be a upgrade from the original ones which could take 500+ no sweat,

oh yeah he is still working on the upcomming RL-s LMT sub, you should stop by the SoundSPlinter forum

1996blackmax

I will take a peek over there .


I sure would like to hear the new 8's. My sister's boyfriend really likes his, it is one of the original ones that came out. I am still impressed at how nice that little tank sounds.

I am a JL fan, I had two tens in a civic hatch... they killed. they sounded like 15's in that car.

they are ok, but not as good as the ones from around 99'.

Sound Splinter just came out with their 8's this year . I think you though ( ) I was talking about the JL subs.
